    1 John 1:5-2:2 Walking In The Light

    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 this fellowship looks like and what it does not. He calls this "walking in the light" (v. 7), but explains that it is not about doing better or being good, but acknowledging and confessing sin and trusting in Jesus, who is cleansing us from all sin (v. 7; 9). Christians only walk in the light (as John says) because of the transforming work God does in those He saves through the gospel. The main point is that fellowship with God results in a life of growing holiness, requires honest acknowledgment of our sin, and is possible only through Jesus Christ our advocate and propitiation. I. Fellowship With God Results In A Life Growing In Holiness (v. 5-7) II. Fellowship With God Requires Acknowledging Our Sin (v. 8-10) III. Fellowship With God Only Come Through Our Savior (2:1-2)

    1 John 1:1-4 The Only Word Of Life

    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 "know they have eternal life" (5:13), which is the purpose of the book. Assurance is a wonderful blessing and a necessity for following Christ joyfully and faithfully, but assurance not based on God’s own word is presumption rather than real assurance. Only God’s word gives us the grounds of assurance to examine and know that we have eternal life. But before John launches into any tests of assurance, he immediately proclaims the identity of Jesus. Only the true Jesus, whom the apostles proclaimed, is able to save. If we are wrong about Jesus, it doesn’t matter what we are right about. If we are wrong about Jesus, it doesn’t matter how morally we live or what spiritual knowledge we have. Everything rests on this foundation: The Christ whom the apostles proclaim is fully God and fully man, and He is the only Word of Life and the only fellowship with God. I. Only the True Jesus Is The Word of Life (v. 1-2) II. Only the True Jesus Gives Fellowship with God (v. 3-4)

    Mark 16:9-20 & New Testament Reliability

    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 another book. But this section offers a unique opportunity. Sunday, we will examine how God has reliably preserved His word down through time to us and look at the actual evidence for and against Mark’s longer ending. Rather than just giving you my opinion about Mark’s ending, I will walk you through the process of examining the evidence, which is not hidden or out of reach for Christians. With all the objections to textual corruption, books added to or taken out of the Bible, and the idea that we Christians depend on unknown scholars to tell us what is in our scriptures, I have three goals for Sunday. I hope to show you how the New Testament documents have been reliably passed down to us, let you see and examine the evidence concerning Mark’s ending, and use this opportunity to address how we know the 66 books of our Bibles are the only God-inspired books. Accomplishing those three goals in under 40 minutes will be as miraculous as parting the Red Sea, so we certainly can’t say everything that needs to be said, but in the end, we will see that God has preserved His Word in the Bible that you carry. The Bible you hold in your hand is God’s Word, sufficient and God-breathed, so that you would know Him through the gospel of Jesus. I. Has God Reliably Preserved His Word In the NT? II. Examining Mark’s Ending: Are we depending on "scholars" we don’t know? III. How do we know the books in our Bibles are the only inspired books?
