Growth and Life Are Synonymous
Wherever you see life you’ll also see growth. If one claims that they possess spiritual life you should expect to see spiritual growth. As we continue in our verse by verse study in 1 John, we learn in our study today of the secret of spiritual growth.
Genuine or Counterfeit Faith
The Apostle John provides us with a great service in 1st John chapter 2, as he gives us insight on the difference between genuine and fake faith. John gives us three tests that will reveal what we really are. Join us as we seek to know if our faith is authentic.
How to Have Fellowship with God
John the Apostle has told us that as the followers of Christ we can have fellowship with God. The early church was being attacked by an early form of Gnosticism. The Gnostics claimed they could bring a person into fellowship with God through their superior secret knowledge. John steps in and tells us anyone can have fellowship with God, and it isn’t a complicated process. Join us as we learn the simple step in drawing close to God.
The Meaning of Fellowship
American Christians have developed their own version of Christianity that can lead them away from God’s ideal. And one area where this might be true is the area of what the Bible refers to as fellowship. We speak of having a “fellowship time” and churches often have a “fellowship hall”. But these concepts fall short of what the Bible is talking about. Join us as we continue through First John as the Apostle gives us a clear understanding of what fellowship is all about.
What are the Fundamentals of Christianity?
As we begin a new study in First John, the Apostle starts by taking us back to basics. The church at the end of the first century was being attacked, and the result of this attack was confusion in the church. First John will be a wonderful study, for here John speaks with both simplicity and clarity. Join us as we are taken back to the basics.
Living in Light of the End
The Apostle Peter has told us that the end of all things is coming. At the presence of Christ’s second coming this world is going to be radically changed. We are told that at His coming He wants to find His people focused on two things. Join us as we conclude our study of Second Peter and discover how the Lord desires to find us at His return.
What is Day of the Lord?
The Apostle Peter begins to close out his second letter with encouraging the Church to be watchful concerning the Lord’s Coming. In this third chapter we are introduced to the term “The Day of the Lord." Join us as we seek to discover what will happen on this particular day.
What Scoffers will Say
Through out chapter two of Second Peter, the Apostle has been focusing on what false teachers will look like. Now as we begin chapter three, his focus will be enlarging upon what they will say. Peter explains that they deny that God is involved in our world in any meaningful way. Join us as we learn what two ways God has involved Himself in our World as proof He will do it again in our future.
