First John

First John 5:6-8 Part 32

Throughout John’s first epistle he has been teaching theology, but from the every-day-man’s approach. In the verses we will study in this lesson, he will get a little more formal in defending the divinity and humanity of Christ. This lesson is both interesting and challenging.

First John 5:2-5 Part 31

Love and faith are the subjects in this lesson. It is important that we understand these two integral components of Biblical Christianity. Since our salvation is defined and determined by God, it is rather important that we know what He has to say on the matter. Our opinions are of no value when it comes to salvation and eternity.

First John 4:19-5:1 Part 30

This lesson comes out of First John 4:19-5:1. John continues his discourse on love and presses home what it means to be a genuine follower of Jesus. One key evidence that we have truly been born again is that we begin to love others like Jesus loves us, which is selflessly and sacrificially. This is a good and timely message.

First John 4:11-15 Part 28

The apostle John is still pressing home his teaching on love as we study verses 11-15 of the fourth chapter of First John. We will see the necessity of giving evidence that we are genuine followers of Jesus. Confession without a life that proves the validity of our confession is more than worthless, because it can be destructive. But when the true faith is lived out, the benefits are awesome.

First John 4:8-10 Part 27

In verses 9-10 of First John chapter 4 we will study some very challenging truths about love. This lesson may upset some of your ideas about love and how it works. Yet as Jesus taught, “The truth will set you free.” Listen to this message and let God revolutionize your love.

First John 4:4-8 Part 26

In First John 4:4-8 there are two topics that we will examine. The first is a continuation of the subject of our last lesson, which was on John’s teaching about false prophets. The second topic is love, which was probably John’s favorite subject to teach and write on. There’s some good meat at this table, so pull up a chair dig in.

First John 4:1-3 Part 25

The first three verses of First John chapter four begins the apostle’s discourse on false prophets. If we look at this subject from a Biblical viewpoint, then it is extremely important, especially since we are in the last days. This message may challenge what you think about the ministry of the prophet and the problem we have today with false prophets.

First John 3:22 Part 23

Verse 22 of the third chapter of First John is all about prayer and this is the focus of this lesson. This is among the most important subjects in Scripture. In these last days, we are in desperate need of men and women of prayer. You will learn much from this study.

First John 3:17-21 Part 22

There are two principle topics that the apostle John addresses in First John 3:17-21. The first is that love is more than words, but is proved through action. And second, that God has made a way so that we don’t have to be consumed with self-condemnation, but we can have confidence before God. This is a very practical lesson.

First John 3:16-17 Part 21

In First John 3:16-17 the apostle John is in the midst of his discourse on love. This is a very important episode because it gets into the truth about love. Not the superficial love that is often called romantic, but the strong, consistent love that comes from God. This message will stir your soul.

First John 3:13-16 Part 20

In this lesson the apostle John makes a strong contrast between those who are followers of Jesus and those who are not. The distinction between the two relate to those who live in and through God’s love and those who do not. This is a challenging message that can help every true believer walk nearer to Jesus and help those who are not one of Christ’s disciples to become one.

First John 3:1-2 Part 16

We will examine in this lesson the wonderful truths found in First John 3:1-2. What does it mean that God lavishes His love on us? And what is one of the principle ways that He does this? Learn the answer to these two questions and some more besides. This is an awesome teaching.

First John 2:27-29 Part 15

The last three verses of First John chapter two are full of many necessary truths for those who are true followers of Jesus. We will learn what John means by our need to have a true anointing of the Holy Spirit to remain faithful to God. The subject of what it means to be righteous will also be addressed. Don’t miss this lesson.

First John 2:23-26 Part 14

In this portion of Scripture John continues his discourse on false teachers. The serious nature of this threat against the true church is real and this is why the apostle takes so much time to press this thought home. Integral to standing against deception is to abide in Christ. Don’t miss this encouraging message.

First John 2:18-22 Part 13

This lesson was challenging for me to teach and it will be challenging for some of you to hear. Listen to the whole lesson and see if what I am teaching is soundly built upon God’s Word. The message itself is very important because it is about living ready for Christ’s second coming.

First John 2:17-19 Part 12

Our reason for being as humans that are created in God’s image is the principle subject of this lesson. What this world offers is temporal. What God offers is eternal. We must choose which one we will follow and then face the consequences of our decision, whether it is good or bad.

First John 2:16 Part 11

We will concentrate in this lesson on First John 2:16. This verse gives one of the clearest definitions of how temptation works. We will learn about the three categories of temptation that is common to every person. We will also learn some of the ways to overcome temptation. This is a practical lesson for anyone that wants to be a disciple of Jesus.
