    The Nice Antichrists Series

     | 778 views

    The antichrists are around all the time and many of them are very nice. If they are going to be saved our radically calling is not to be nice Christians, but sacrificially loving Christians. John teaches us how to do this.

    You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 1 John 2:18-29 “The Nice Antichrists” When John writes his Epistles it is very clear there has been a division within the church. The division has resulted in a “them” group and an “us” group. In 1 John 2:18-29 John tells us ...read more

    James in his first chapter warns us not to be deceived, providing reasons to believe in God's goodness regardless of our circumstances.

    In the late 90s, there was a popular saying in the church: "God is good, all the time; all the time, God is good." It's easy to proclaim God's goodness when things are going well, but what about when we face difficult circumstances? How can we know that God is truly good? In James 1:16-18, we find ...read more

    In his letter to the Corinthians from Ephesus, Paul expresses his desire to reunite with the Corinthian converts and spend significant time with them. However, he acknowledges that he must wait until God completes His work in Ephesus, where a great and effective opportunity has been opened for him. ...read more

    In this world, we are engaged in a constant battle. Without the assistance of God, we are bound to face defeat, humiliation, and shame. People will forget about us, and others will abandon us.
