“GOD LOVES YOU!” John 3:16 FBCF – 8/28/22 Jon Daniels INTRO – Brian Regan, comedian – “Me Monster” – people who dominate conversations to talk about themselves & all their accomplishments This is a sermon about me, & it’s a sermon about you. We’ve got a lot in common. It IS interesting ...read more
Scripture: John 3:16
Denomination: Baptist
This message looks at an account of how encouragement was extended to a young man who had made a mistake, and reveals that encouragement is greatly beneficial in our endeavors at expanding the Lord’s kingdom.
In a world where people are often quick to judge and criticize, we’re all in need of some encouragement, wouldn’t you agree? I am going to be preaching about encouragement this morning. So, what is encouragement? Well, it’s defined as “the act of giving courage, or confidence of success.”(1) I ...read more
Scripture: Acts 15:36-41
1 John is called one of the “General Epistles,” because it was not sent to a specific church. Rather, it was sent to churches in general.
The three books of John are referred to as “letters, however, the first was not written in the form of a letter. For example, it has no salutation nor conclusion. In fact, it has all the characteristics of a sermon in which a pastor is revealing his love for God’s people. To have a good ...read more
Scripture: 1 John 1:1-7
In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.
Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more
Scripture: 1 John 1:7-8
In 1 John, chapter one, John had the audacity to tell some of those who claimed to be saved that they were liars.
Evidently John never took a course in “HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE”. If he had taken it, he would have had a hard time passing the course. We know this because we see he called those people liars five times. He used “liar(s)” in: • 1 John 1:10. • 1 John 2:4. • 1 John 2:22. • 1 John ...read more
Scripture: 1 John 2:3-11
In a previous sermon we dealt with what John had to say about how we can KNOW that WE KNOW THE LORD.
We discovered that anyone can say that they know the Lord...anyone! All one has to say is, “I know the Lord.” John used the word, “saith,” numerous times. He referred to it in: • 1 John 2:4. He said, “HE THAT SAITH, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not ...read more

Scripture: Matthew 3:1-12, Isaiah 11:1-10
Like John the Baptist, our lives are to point others to Christ.
“Pointing to Jesus” John 1:6-8, 19-29 Many thanks to Adam Hamilton’s book: “Prepare the Way for the Lord” for helping guide me in this sermon. John the Baptist is famous for many things, but his most important role is to point away from himself and toward Jesus. In our Gospel Lesson for this ...read more

The apostle John is asked by the resurrected and victorious Christ to write to the seven churches of Asia, a message that, although directed to specific churches, applies to the church universal.

Denomination: Christian/Church Of Christ
What's with the strange story about the young man fleeing naked at Jesus' arrest? Mark leaves out so many big aspects of that event, but he includes this. Is it a meaningless, throwaway story? Or is it Mark at his best, crafting a profound message in a vivid picture?
Jesus leads the 12 into battle even though he knows they will fail. When the hour comes, you’ll have to face the battle, ready or not. Jesus fights this battle on four fronts. Front #1: Judas (Jesus fights dis-couragement by calling out to Abba, Father). Front #2: the rogue disciple who jeopardizes ...read more

Based on John 3:16 - Evangelistic sermon that focused on the foundational components of salvation.
“HOW TO BE TRULY FREE” John 3:16 FBCF – 6/30/24 Jon Daniels INTRO – Saw this in Doug & Diane Barker’s yard this week (pic). It’s such a true statement. So many have given so much so that so many of us may enjoy the amazing freedom of living in the USA! American is a great nation that has been ...read more
This sermon explores Jesus' baptism, the wisemen's search for God, and how these spiritual quests shape our understanding of faith and our place in God's narrative.
