    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (2 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,088 views

    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

    In chapter two we see why many think John was a “softy.” Look at verse 1. We read, “My little children...”

    As we read these words, we can not help but think of an old, gray-haired man expressing concern for his children. This was exactly what John was doing. In a pervious sermon we dealt with the two sides of John’s personality. • That is, he had the intestinal fortitude to be able to look at the ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (4 Of 16)

    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

    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

    John gives us seven tests to take to see if we KNOW the Lord. Today we come to the FIFTH test.

    So far we have taken FOUR tests: I. The Attitude Test II. The Action Test III. The Affection Test IV. The Actuality Test Today we want to look at this FIFTH test. V. THE ADULTERY TEST WHAT KIND OF TEST IS THIS? This is a test that deals with our relationship with the world. That ...read more

    This will be a message about the sixth of the seven tests John proposed Christians take to see if we REALLY KNOW THE LORD.

    So far we have taken: I. THE ATTITUDE TEST II. THE ACTION TEST III. THE AFFECTION TEST IV. THE ACTUALITY TEST V. THE ADULTERERS TEST But today we want to look at the SIXTH test which is VI. THE ANTICHRIST TEST These will be men who will claim to know God and some of them even claim to ...read more

    Today we want to take the seventh test that John gave us to see if we really know the Lord.

    So far we have taken: 1. THE ATTITUDE TEST 2. THE ACTION TEXT 3. THE AFFECTION TEST 4. THE ACTUALITY TEST 5. THE ADULTERY TEST 6. THE ANTICHRIST TEST So many folks may say they KNOW THE LORD, but, if they can not pass the tests John gives, they do not really know the Lord. The Lord Jesus ...read more

    Have you ever listened to someone on the radio and wondered what that person looked like.

    If you have, you were probably, like most people, surprised when you actually saw that person. Why? Because that person probably did not look at all like you had thought from the way he/she sounded. I want to ask you another question. Have you ever read your Bible and tried to imagine what the ...read more

    In this passage of scripture, John deals with something we want to look at very closely and consider in this message.

    He deals with the topic of how we are supposed to love one another. Of course much of the Bible deals with this subject, yet it seems to be something we Christians know very little about and those who are not Christians know even less. As we look at our text we want to learn from what it says to ...read more

    Some of the physical problems we hear much about people having are heart problems. Anyone can be a victim of heart disease or attack.

    Illus: A man in Columbia, South Carolina went to a doctor because he was tired most of the time. The doctor examined him and found out he was only getting 20% use of his heart. They did open heart surgery on him, opened up some valves and today he feels like a new man. There are many people in our ...read more

    We see many differences in God’s church today when we compare it to the New Testament church.

    For example, I am sure that if the apostle Paul could come back today and see the excellent buildings we worship in, he would marvel over them and see them as a big improvement compared to what they had worshipped in. But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more

    We have all heard the proverbial expression The proof is in the pudding." For example, someone might say, "This is real good chocolate pudding."

    For example, someone might say, And so someone might say, "I really love God!" But, these are only words. They might be true or they might not be. Just saying something does not make it so! In fact anyone can say anything he wants to say, but that does not make it true. In this passage ...read more

    There are very few people that we come into contact with who say, "I do not believe in a God.”

    What surprises us about these folks, when we do come into contact with them, is that they will take God's name in vain, using His name when they curse. If they believe there is no God, why bother using His name like that, or at all? We may not know why they use God's name along with curse ...read more

    One of the difficulties the Lord Jesus had in dealing with mankind was getting people to accept Him for Who He was.

    He could have solved that problem by making us all robots. All He would have to do then is push a button and make us believe on Him as our Savior.

    In a previous message we learned the apostle John had witnessed several undeniable proofs that Jesus was indeed the Son of God, Savior of the world.

    . No wonder, when he saw Jesus walking on the shore one day, he said, (John 1:29,34-36), “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world....And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. Again the next day after ...read more
