Jesus Christ Really Did Come In The Flesh And Is Coming Again

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 11, 2024

The clear fact is that all humans need to make themselves ready by faith and good works to be ready at any time for the general judgement, the return of Christ.

Friday of the thirty-second week in course 2024 Let’s spend a moment with our Gospel passage to find from Church teaching what Jesus is not saying by way of St. Luke. There is a school of Christian thought that was popularized in the Left Behind series of books and flicks. It’s called ...read more

The Christian - The Judgement Seat Of Christ – Part 2 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 27, 2025

Above all things God wants faithfulness. Rewards attach to a faithful servant. God is a God of small things and in quietness and confidence is our strength. We look at the quality of works and the testing by fire. To not make the mistake of “TRYING to do” for a reward as that is wrong.

THE CHRISTIAN - THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST – PART 2 OF 3 In the last study we opened up this subject to see both the joy and seriousness of it. This time we will consider more aspects of The Judgement Seat of Christ including what brings reward and the quality of deeds done for Christ. I will ...read more

How Are We To Know The Truth?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 9, 2023

The emphasis of Second John chapter 2 is on the basics of following Christ, of truth and love, and to warn against false teachers. We are not to just read the Word of God, but we are to obey it as well.

When a believer knows how to walk in the truth, he or she should know how to act, should know what to do, is willing to learn, and is determined to do so. In verses 1-3: The “elder” is John, one of twelve disciples. He also is the author of the Gospel of John, the three epistles, and the book of ...read more

Something More

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 3, 2023

The errors that infiltrate the Faith are often characterised as teaching that attempts to present "something more." The Faith is simple and complete, requiring no addition from the fertile imagination of any person.

“Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. Everyone who goes on ahead and does not ...read more

How Do We Know The Truth? Series

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 5, 2022

Do not just read but obey. To walk in truth, one knows how to act, what to do, is willing to learn, and is determined to do so.

In verses 1-3: • John was an elder, he loved the church, he was writing this letter to warn the church and congregation to watch out for false teachers. • The Truth is Jesus. o 1 John 2:21, I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the ...read more

A New Year’s Message For Church Fellowships - 2023 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 24, 2022

2023 is upon us and it will be a challenging year. There is such diversity in our church fellowships but not always harmony. This message examines Peter, James, and John to gain truths for our churches in the new year.

MESSAGE FOR THE NEW YEAR 2023 – REVIEW OF WHAT IS ESSENTIAL DIFFERING PERSONALITIES IN A CHURCH FELLOWSHIP We have begun 2023.

Three Essentials For Christian Living

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 30, 2023

As the title of the message suggests, I want to point out and talk about three foundational themes that are essential to the Christian Life.

In the earliest formation of acting, method actors were likely to be trained thespians. The original actor, Thespis, performed in Greek amphitheaters. Actors were called hypocrites, a Greek word meaning "one who wears a mask." These hypocrites shielded their identity, wore a mask, to ...read more

A Letter To A Lady Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

If you can't speak the truth in love, why speak at all? John could do it, and that is why we have this love letter to a loving lady.

Herodotus, the Greek historian, tells this story from ancient history. Hestiaeus wanted Aristagorus to revolt, but could not get a message to him because the roads were guarded. So he took one of the most trusted slaves and shaved all the hair off his head, and then scratched letters into the ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 2 John

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

Obviously, we are dealing with 2 John in this message. You have probably noticed that second and third John are very short.

Second John only has 13 verses. Third John only has 15 verses. But, do not make the mistake of thinking that because these two books are short that it diminishes what John has to say. Illus: John was like some people we meet. They do not say a lot, but they have the most to say when they do ...read more

Watch Yourself Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 24, 2021

We have come to far to turn back now. We must examine our hearts so we can walk with the Lord and maintain that which He has begun in us! John knew walking with the Lord was not easy in the midst of continual opposition, but he also knew that faith would one day end in sight.

“Watch Yourself” The salutation "to the chosen lady and to her children" most likely refers to a specific woman and her family. This letter was written shortly after 1 John to warn about false teachers. Little has changed in two thousand years. Advocates of unorthodox beliefs still exist ...read more

Abiding In Love And Faith

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 18, 2019

As believers, we are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. We are also expected to stand boldly upon the Word regarding the faith. This requires a delicate balance that is only possible through a close relationship with Christ.

Abiding in Love and Faith 2 John 5-8 As we begin our study today, it is important to remember the context of John’s second epistle. The Gospel was being shared throughout the world and people were responding to the Lord as they heard and received the Gospel. Much of the appeal for the Gospel could ...read more
