The Anointing (1 John 2:20-27)

November 14, 2021

Pastor Rich Chapman   Length: 37:13 (25.7 MB)

We who believe are all anointed by the Holy One and so we know Jesus. Those who do not know Him have their eyes blinded by the ruler of this world and cannot understand the things of God. Our anointing sets us apart and comes with responsibility.

This is the Last Hour (1 John 2:18, 19)

November 7, 2021

Pastor Rich Chapman   Length: 38:15 (26.4 MB)

We study the last times because it reminds us that this world is not our home. It should cause us to worship God knowing that the final outcome is the defeat of evil. Given that the days are short, we should be concerned for those that do not know Jesus.

We Must Have a Walk of Faith

October 31, 2021

Jim Hines   Length: 32:20 (22.4 MB)

Christians need to be ready, in season, and out, to preach the Word. This requires a sincere walk of faith. The days of the prophets are long gone, and so today, we hear from God through Jesus, His Word, and our conscience, which is led by the Spirit.

What Should We Not Love? (1 John 2:15-17)

October 24, 2021

Patrick Spieler   Length: 46:57 (32.4 MB)

We are told not to love the world and this is to be interpreted as the world “system” of sin. Satan uses the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life to tempt us. We need to pray that God will sanctify us through His word.

Instructions for Faithful Living (1 John 2:12-14)

October 17, 2021

Pastor Rich Chapman   Length: 35:44 (24.7 MB)

Those who have put their faith and trust in Jesus have been forgiven completely on account of His name. Because we are His children, we have the Father's encouragement and should encourage others. The secret of strength is to abide in His word.

Love/Hate... Light/Darkness (1 John 2:7-11)

October 10, 2021

Pastor Rich Chapman   Length: 31:23 (21.7 MB)

We are to be characterized by love if we follow in the light of Jesus. If we hate someone, then we are blinded by darkness. We may not love everyone, but the fruit of the spirit is love and while on the path of growth, we can move towards loving more.

Do We Really Know Him? (1 John 2:3-6)

October 3, 2021

Pastor Rich Chapman   Length: 31:23 (21.7 MB)

How do you know if you really know Him through experience and not just by knowing about Him? The first evidence is that we obey His commands. Not that we are without sin but that we are heading in a new direction. Obedience makes His love complete.

But What if we Do Sin? (1 John 2:1,2)

September 26, 2021

Pastor Rich Chapman   Length: 32:24 (22.4 MB)

You might ask, why is it better not to sin? Because we avoid the consequences, shame, broken fellowship, and need to repent. When confronted with the choice to sin, ask God to show the way out, but if we fail, Jesus represents us in the court of God.

Confession (1 John 1:9)

September 19, 2021

Pastor Rich Chapman   Length: 30:12 (20.9 MB)

Why do we need to go to Jesus to confess our sins if they have already been forgiven? Because our friendship with Him is hindered when we sin. We can restore that friendship when we make things right by acknowledging our sins before our Father.

No Such Thing as Sin (1 John 1:8-10)

September 12, 2021

Pastor Rich Chapman   Length: 35:30 (24.5 MB)

We are not sinners because we sin, but we sin because we are sinners. People need to take responsibility for that sin and understand that its penalty is death. Denying our own sin is deceiving ourselves and comes from pride. Salvation requires humility.
