    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 1

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 16, 2020
     | 1,687 views

    In this epistle, John sets the record straight about who Jesus is and how one might have fellowship with Him.

    Background First John was written by the Apostle John. Though his name is nowhere to be found written in this letter. It has been traditionally ascribed to John the Apostle. From the beginning of the letter he places himself among the eyewitnesses of the Lord Jesus (1:1-2) Early Christian ...read more

    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 2

    John wanted to explain what true fellowship is all about and make known the requirements in order to have true fellowship.

    Review Last time we learned that John was the pastor of the church in Ephesus. We also learned there were four factors that existed in the city of Ephesus during the time in which this letter was written that show John’s letter is especially relevant for our day. 1) The Christian faith had ...read more

    One day we all will stand before God and Paul says that no one will be able to utter an excuse for not knowing God.

    Review (1 John 1:3 NKJV) that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. (1 John 1:4 NKJV) And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. Last time we learned ...read more

    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 4

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 16, 2020
     | 821 views

    God has placed clues about Himself in His creation for everyone to see. As one finds a clue and responds to it, God reveals more about Himself, eventually leading the person to Himself.

    Review (1 John 1:5 NKJV) This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. The imagery or concept of God as "light" pictures God's self-revelation (cf. John 8:12; 9:5; 12:35, 36). The truth of the matter is ...read more

    John tells us how we can know whether or not we are in fellowship with God.

    In the passage of Scripture we will look at today John tells us how we can know whether or not we are in fellowship with God. (1 John 1:5 NKJV) This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. Heard - (present tense) - ...read more

    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 6

     | 1,032 views

    When people say they have no sin they are claiming sinless perfection and moral relativism. We are living in a culture that says it has no sin.

    Review The Gnostics were the false teachers who believed matter to be evil, the spirit good, and salvation to come by secret knowledge (gnosis) granted to those who were part of their clique. John is teaching all of this to combat a heresy circulated by the Gnostics called ...read more

    John wanted his readers to stop denying their sin and to start confessing their sins.

    (1 John 1:8 NKJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. John didn't want his readers to be led astray by the Gnostic heresy of sinless perfection. Last time we learned that the fact is, we do sin, and continue to say we have no sin is a sign of ...read more

    John didn't want his readers to willingly fall short of God's holy standard. If you are a true believer you will not want to sin. Having a desire not to sin is one of the proofs you are a believer.

    Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers. The bad new John tells us is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin and cleanse us ...read more

    John was writing to people who claimed to be Christians. John wanted his readers to know exactly what a Christian is.

    Today’s Message: Relationship Tested (1 John 2:3 NKJV) Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. (1 John 2:4 NKJV) He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:5 NKJV) But whoever keeps His ...read more

    The true mark of a believer is that you love the brethren.

    1 John 2:9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. 1 John 2:10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 1 John 2:11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where ...read more

    John is telling us that we become the “little born ones” of God when our sins have been forgiven. Sins are forgiven when one trusts in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

    John is called the “Apostle of Love.” In his first epistle he expresses love for his readers much like parents express love for their children. A young teenage boy had just gotten his driver’s license. When he got home, he asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss the use of the ...read more

    Even with a strong knowledge of the Word and a close relationship with the Father, you and I are still susceptible to being tempted by and succumbing to the allures of the world and its lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life.

    (1 John 2:12 NKJV) I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. (1 John 2:13 NKJV) I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, ...read more

    John wants his readers to know that if any loves the world as a habit of life, the love of the Father is not in him.

    1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but is of the world. 1 John 2:17 And ...read more

    Jesus can bring all of humanity back together in His community, in His Church, in His Kingdom.

    The prophet Jeremiah has a really bad rep. Of course, his prophetic book doesn’t help that much when one of his most famous prayers to God is “Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I am deceived: thou hast been stronger than I, and thou hast prevailed. I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all ...read more
