Ecclesiastes 7:15-29 Wisdom When Things Don’t Make Sense Jason Velotta Download
1 John 4:7-12 Why Love Is An Evidence Of Salvation Jason Velotta Download
Ecclesiastes 7:1-14 The Better Life Jason Velotta Download
Only two chapters are left in our study of 1 John. John wrote this letter to give believers the God-ordained evidences of salvation in response to professed believers who left the churches and now claimed they had the “true” Jesus and salvation. We have noted several times that this book circles around three tests we are to examine. Doctrine, obedience, and love. All of chapter three showed us that a lifestyle of keeping God’s commands and loving the brothers and sisters are evidence of a heart transformed by the Spirit. Likewise, John told us that a lifestyle that has no concern with God’s co
Ecclesiastes 6:1-12 When Having It All Isn’t Enough Jason Velotta Download
Sunday, John concludes the argument he began in chapter three. 1 John 3:4-18 was a very difficult section to work through. John told us that the evidence we have been born of God is the transformed life that strives to keep His commandments (3:4-10). Then, he continued with the evidence of loving the brethren. He said, “We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death” (3:14). Last Sunday, we ended in v. 18 which admonished us to love not in word only but in deed and truth. However, throughout the exposition of chapter 3, w
Ecclesiastes 5:8-20 The Vanity Of Pursuing Wealth Jason Velotta Download
As we continue our journey through 1 John, this Sunday we arrive at a passage many consider among the most unsettling verses in the New Testament. John writes because some had left the fellowship while still claiming the name of Christ, chasing a different gospel and a different view of Jesus. He wants true believers to know that they possess eternal life and perfect acceptance with God through Jesus’ death and resurrection alone. To that end, he repeatedly calls his readers to recognize the evidences of their salvation. In 1 John 2:28-3:10, John presents the clear marks that distinguish the c
Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 The Vanity Of Irreverant Worship Jason Velotta Download
As we continue our journey through 1 John, this Sunday we arrive at a passage many consider among the most unsettling verses in the New Testament. John writes because some had left the fellowship while still claiming the name of Christ, chasing a different gospel and a different view of Jesus. He wants true believers to know that they possess eternal life and perfect acceptance with God through Jesus’ death and resurrection alone. To that end, he repeatedly calls his readers to recognize the evidences of their salvation. In 1 John 2:28-3:10, John presents the clear marks that distinguish the c
“They went out from us, but they were not of us.” (v. 19). 1 John presents the God-given evidence of salvation to the readers. But this is not simply a theological or academic exercise. John is writing to hurting, worried Christians who had watched people they knew and loved walk away from the church (and the gospel) while still claiming to follow Jesus – the “real” Jesus. Understandably, the Christians were asking: Am I missing something? Is there a higher level of spirituality I haven’t reached? Have these friends who I have looked up to found a key that will finally give me the strength and
Do not love the world! What do you think of when you hear this command? What does worldliness look like? To define worldliness, most of us would point to something “out there,” (and that is not incorrect), but John will define the world we must not love as desires and attitudes within our hearts. He will define the world with the phrases, “the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life.” Therefore, “Do not love the world or the things in the world” is not a call to a stricter list of rules or behaviors to avoid, but an invitation to examine what our hearts truly desir
Ecclesiastes 4:4-16 The Blessing Of Contentment & Companionship Jason Velotta Download
Sunday, we will continue in 1 John as we focus our hearts in gratitude for the gospel. Over the past few sections, John has laid out some hard and convicting truths —truths about walking in the light, keeping God’s commands, and loving the brothers and sisters in Christ. These tests can feel heavy, but John’s purpose has never been to create fear or uncertainty in his readers. Instead, he writes so that those who believe in Jesus may know with confidence that they have eternal life. So, after the weighty and difficult sections, John pauses to speak directly to his readers—children, fathers, an
Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:3 The Vanity of Injustice Jason Velotta Download
1 John is a letter written so that believers might know with certainty they have eternal life (1 John 5:13). John offers clear evidence for us to examine our lives and confirm our salvation, while also revealing the false teaching of those who had left the church claiming to be the true Christians. Faced with these false teachers, John repeatedly applies three basic tests—doctrine, obedience, and love—to help us discern genuine faith. 1 John 2:7-11 focuses on the test of love for one another as the heart of the matter. John shows that love is both an old commandment rooted in God’s law and a n
1 John 2:3-6 The Assurance Of Obedience Jason Velotta Download
Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 Everything Beautiful In Its Time Jason Velotta Download
Matthew 25:14-30 Serving Through Trials Jonathan Hula Download
As we continue our study through the book of 1 John, Sunday’s passage begins to unveil John’s evidences written to give believers God-ordained grounds for assurance of eternal life. After false teachers left the church and caused some to doubt the sufficiency of the gospel, John writes to show his readers the evidence of genuine salvation. Throughout the book, John will circle around three categories of evidence: (broadly stated) right doctrine, obedience, and love. In 1 John 1:5–2:2, having just said that the message of life gives fellowship with the Father and the Son, John explains what thi
This Sunday, we are blessed to observe both the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper at the beginning of the 11:00 A.M. service. We are also beginning our study of the book of 1 John. This short book was written to give believers the God-ordained grounds of assurance. John’s first readers were being confused by false teachers who had separated from the church (1 John 2:19) and claimed to have the true knowledge of God and salvation (2:20-21). This led gospel believers to question their standing with God through Jesus. Throughout the book, John will provide tests by which the reader can
Ecclesiastes 2:12-26 When Wisdom & Work Are Vanity Jason Velotta Download
This Sunday’s message will be very different than what we are used to. Our steady diet of preaching has been (and will continue to be) exposition through books of Scripture, verse by verse. However, along our journey through Mark’s gospel, we occasionally noticed missing verse numbers (7:16; 9:44), and when we finished Mark 16:1-8, the next thing we saw was brackets around Mark 16:9-20 and a study note that says something to the effect of "the earliest manuscripts do not contain these verses." The easiest thing to do would be to simply make that statement, move on, and start preaching through
