Series: 1 John
Key Text: 1 John 2:22-23
Description: Christians are called to be discerning. We are called to be able to discern truth from error and to take every thought captive to the Word of God. In our passage this morning, John gives the Christian the foremost test concerning all matters of life and doctrine. It is a test that can be seen as a question; a question that becomes for the Christian a dividing line. Christians have died answering this question for it is indeed, the only question that matters!

Series: 1 John
Key Text: 1 John 2:18-21
Description: Sometimes familiar words lose their meaning. The word fellowship is like that. We use the word fellowship as an adjective to describe a church event. For instance, a potluck becomes a “fellowship meal” and just hanging out with other believers becomes “fellowshipping”. The term fellowship though is significant in meaning and must be understood within the context of Christ’s fellowship with His people. As Christ is in fellowship with His people, His people are in fellowship with each other. The teaching of and about Christ become the truth upon which our fellowship is based.
In our message today, we see that there are some who have broken fellowship, they have dis-fellowshipped themselves over the truth. John tells the church that those who have left — left because they never were truly in fellowship in the first place.

Description: The term “worldliness” has taken on so many meanings in Christianity that much of what we hear as things we should avoid have nothing to do with the Bible’s definition it.

Series: 1 John
Key Text: 1 John 2:12-14
Description: John pauses in the giving of tests of salvation to draw the reader’s attention back to the objective foundation and ground of their justification. He addresses the church in all stages of maturity, from the new believer to the spiritually mature. This passage serves as a parenthetical comment, as it were, so that our self-reflection doesn’t leave us looking inside of us for answers but outside of ourselves to Christ.

Series: 1 John
Key Text: 1 John 2:7-11
Description: If there were one mark of a Christian that would be preeminent above all others, it would be a genuine love; a love for God and also a love for others. That’s because love for God and love for our neighbor is the summation of God’s law and as the Holy Spirit works in the life and heart of the believer obedience to God’s law will become manifest in love, not only towards God but as John points out here, towards our brethren.

Series: 1 John
Key Text: 1 John 2:3-6
Description: The seventeenth century puritan, Thomas Brooks, wrote that “assurance is a pearl that most want but a crown that few wear.” A Christian with assurance of faith knows that he belongs to Christ, that his sins are forgiven, that God loves him, and that he will enjoy everlasting life. While many assume that it is presumptuous to desire assurance of salvation, Scripture teaches otherwise. In our text this morning the Apostle John provides us the first of three tests so that the Christian may examine himself and rest, assured!

Series: 1 John
Key Text: 1 John 1:10 – 2:2
Description: Since God promises to forgive us when we confess our sins and since we will never be perfect in this life, why worry about sin? Why strive to be holy? What’s the point? Those were the questions that John was dealing with in the first century church and those same questions remain in the church today. Find out how a correct view of sin actually leads, and spurs, us to a godly life.

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder
Series: 1 John
Key Text: 1 John 1:8-9
Description: In this morning’s passage, John responds to the second of three errors found in this section. All of these errors have to do with a false view of sin. The first error essentially taught that sin doesn’t matter, whereas the second error teaches that sin doesn’t exist. The seriousness of these errors is that it undermines the atonement and robs the Gospel of it’s Good News.

Description: There were false teachers in the early church who were teaching that they were in fellowship with God even while they were living a life of immorality; and in today’s message, we see that John argues against such an idea.

Key Text: Jonah 4:5-11
Description: Our passage this morning shows us two things about God. The first is that God never gives up on His people, He has a tenacious grip on us… and the second is that God’s amazing plan of redemption is larger than most of us think. God will redeem all of His creation and reverse the curse of sin.

Key Text: Jonah 4:1-4
Description: The book of Jonah is a highly unusual book. There is no other book like it within both the minor and major prophets. It’s unusual in that the prophetic message is not what’s important but rather the narrative that surrounds it.

Series: Jonah
Key Text: Jonah 3:4-10
Description: Theologians talk about two types of repentance: attrition and contrition. Attrition is false repentance and usually is only a change in outward actions with no change in heart. While contrition is a change in outward actions driven from a change in the heart. Contrition is heart-felt sorrow over sin. In this sermon we will look at examples of both attrition and contrition from the way that Jonah reacted to God’s word compared to the reaction of the Ninevites.

Description: If the only section of Jonah we had was section three, it would be an entirely different book. But God has seen fit to preserve for us chapters 1, 2, and 4 and thereby display for us His amazing grace and mercy and His ability to use even weak and failing men to accomplish great things for His glory. God is the God of the Crushed. God uses the Crushed to Accomplish Great Things

We see how God extended His grace toward Jonah and how He continues to extend His grace toward sinners today.
