The Revelation of Jesus Christ

March 24, 2024 19:51 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MB

Surely if God intended the Revelation to be understood He would have given us the basics we need to understand it... and this He has done...

John wraps up his letter in the last four verses with three more assurances, actually certainties, and a final warning.

If you died today, would you go to heaven?

The Assurance of Eternal Life

February 18, 2024 19:39 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MB

Paul's made it absolutely clear that if we’ve received the gospel and are holding fast to it, we’re saved. Saved from the consequences of our sin. Do you believe that?

Steps to a Nike Faith

February 12, 2024 03:35 - 19 minutes - 17.6 MB

After all, Nikes make you a winner, or at least they make you look like one. And as a result they have become the most recognizable shoe in the world and a household name.

God's Love Perfected in Us

February 05, 2024 01:46 - 21 minutes - 19.4 MB

God is love and the ultimate expression of God’s love was made 2,000 years ago when He sent His only begotten Son. That fact has changed our lives. However by itself that fact doesn’t change many lives.

Love Expressed

January 28, 2024 21:19 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MB

God defines love. And if we define love as expressed in God and revealed the Bible, love can be the guiding principle of life.

God Is Love

January 21, 2024 23:30 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MB

Love helps us understand God. And God helps us understand love.

The Spirit of Truth

January 14, 2024 15:22 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MB

John reminds us that even though the spirit of the antichrist is prominent, the spirit of truth will win.

Don't Believe It

January 08, 2024 01:30 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MB

A Christian must be a believer... a Christian is also called to be an unbeliever. The same Scriptures that encourage us to believe also encourage us not to believe.

Confidence Before God

January 01, 2024 00:04 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MB

John has made it very clear that we can be assured of our standing before God... Not only can we have assurance, we can actually have confidence before God.

Assurances for the Heart

December 25, 2023 01:35 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MB

There is a lot of uncertainty in the world today.

The Course of Hate

December 18, 2023 00:17 - 24 minutes - 22 MB

This morning we continue our study of the two most powerful forces in the world: love and hate.

The Path of Love

December 03, 2023 16:43 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MB

John has already drawn our attention to light and darkness, life and death, truth and error, God and the devil. And this morning we come to love and hate, the two most powerful forces on earth.

Child of God or the Devil

November 27, 2023 04:09 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MB

There are more children of the devil in the world than there are children of God.

The Ingratitude of Sin

November 19, 2023 22:58 - 21 minutes - 19.8 MB

Ignatius, one of the early church fathers who was a disciple of the Apostle John, said ingratitude was the cause, the beginning, and the origin, of all evils and sins. And that understanding didn’t come just from John.

Confident When He Appears

November 12, 2023 23:07 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

If we are abiding in Him there will be no need for shame. In fact, as John points out, we can even be confident when He appears.

Antichrists of the Last Hour

November 06, 2023 00:16 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

You’ve no doubt heard that the current war in Israel may very well be the beginning of that battle... I don’t accept that line of thinking. Let me simply say that I believe the battle pictured in Revelation is spiritual in nature.

Passions of Darkness

October 29, 2023 23:30 - 21 minutes - 20 MB

It’s impossible to be driven by the lusts of the world and the love of God at the same time.

All in the Family

October 23, 2023 00:41 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MB

Immature Christians may be standing in the light, but they are not walking in the light. They are going nowhere, suffering from arrested spiritual development.

Something Old, Something New

October 16, 2023 01:34 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MB

The Apostle John speaks of something that is both old and new that when carried into a marriage not only blesses it, but guarantees its success. In fact, it’s something that needs to be carried into every relationship of life including our relationship with God.

If We Know Him

October 09, 2023 00:19 - 19 minutes - 17.9 MB

How do you know if you really know the Lord?

Whatever Became of Sin?

October 02, 2023 02:42 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MB

Let’s take an honest look at sin... and see what John has to say about it.

The Light, the Lie, and the Life

September 25, 2023 00:00 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MB

How would you finish this sentence: "God is ____" ?

A Clear Understanding of Christ

September 17, 2023 23:48 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB

Our faith must be built on the witness of those who actually beheld and handled Jesus while on earth. And on our shared experience of listening to Christ and seeing Him at work in our lives and in the lives of others.

Forgiveness

The story of Joseph and his family was necessary to set the stage of history for the coming of the Messiah, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Managing Your Wait

Instead of wasting or being unproductive with time, how can you better manage your wait?

Be An Ambassador (Like Joseph)

August 28, 2023 00:08 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MB

The ten men who planned to kill Joseph are not nearly as dangerous as the one woman who tries to seduce him.

Joseph: The Betrayal

August 21, 2023 01:21 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

The Lord God Almighty is many wonderful, beautiful things and one of those beautiful realities is that He is sovereign over everything.

All You Need to Know

August 13, 2023 22:00 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MB

Why is it we always want to know what we don't really need to know? Why are we so interested in everybody else's business?

Love Re-affirmed

August 06, 2023 22:49 - 18 minutes - 17 MB

Jesus asks, "Do you love me?"

The Perfect Fishing Trip

July 30, 2023 22:28 - 20 minutes - 18.4 MB

After Thomas declared that Jesus was his Lord and God, the next thing we hear from the mouth of a disciple is, “I am going fishing.”

Evidence for Belief

July 23, 2023 22:36 - 21 minutes - 19.4 MB

How do you know if something is true?

On Sunday Evening

July 16, 2023 22:06 - 20 minutes - 18.3 MB

The traditional time for all of us to meet together is Sunday morning, but that may not have been the case for the early Christians... they actually met on what we would consider to be Saturday night.

Encountering the Risen Christ

July 10, 2023 00:07 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MB

There’s a big difference between seeing an empty tomb and seeing the risen Christ.

An Empty Grave

July 02, 2023 17:00 - 18 minutes - 16.5 MB

Try to picture yourself going to a cemetery to put flowers on the grave of a loved one, a couple days after the burial, and finding the grave has been opened... the body is gone.

The Burial of Jesus

June 25, 2023 22:37 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MB

Had God made provision for the proper burial of His Son by a rich man hundreds of years before His death? Was Jesus’ funeral pre-arranged by His Father?

Certified As Dead

June 19, 2023 00:11 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MB

That’s why it is imperative that we know for certain that Jesus died on that cross 2,000 years ago. And that’s why, even though they didn’t issue death certificates in 33 A.D., John goes to such detail to show Jesus certified as dead.

It Is Finished!

June 12, 2023 02:03 - 18 minutes - 17.4 MB

What did Jesus mean when He said, “It is finished” ?

Domestic Concerns at the Cross

June 04, 2023 19:27 - 20 minutes - 18.9 MB

We should never get so caught up in the big issues of life that we ignore the simple domestic responsibilities we’ve been given. Our Lord didn’t.

Soldiers at the Cross

May 29, 2023 02:16 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MB

There are many explicit prophecies in the Bible that you’d have to be intentionally blind to miss. And we come to one of them in our text for today, one that was unknowingly fulfilled by the soldiers at the cross.

A Public Execution

May 21, 2023 23:59 - 22 minutes - 21 MB

Most of us would not want to witness an execution. We wouldn’t want that image etched into our memories. There is, however, one execution that we must keep fresh in our minds.

He Should Have Listened To Her

May 14, 2023 23:02 - 23 minutes - 21.7 MB

Don’t make Pilate’s mistake: Listen to the woman God has put in your life.

Finding Truth In The Middle East

May 07, 2023 22:21 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MB

While preachers and politicians argue over who’s right, the search for truth in the Middle East continues. I do believe, however, that we can find the needed truth if we’ll look again at what took place in a courtroom in the Middle East nearly 2,000 ago.

A Chance for Denial

May 01, 2023 02:20 - 21 minutes - 19.3 MB
