Todaywe begin a new section in Philippians chapter 3. In the previous verses, Paulhas been sharing the great passion of his heart when he said, "That I mayknow Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of Hissufferings." Now, as we come to Philippians 3:12, Paul begins to describehis pursuit of Christ. He writes: "Not as though I had alreadyattained, either were already perfect..." Paul gives us one of themost important secrets of spiritual growth, and it is surprisingly simple. Thesecret is this: never become satisfied with where you are spiritually. Nowthink about who is making this statement. This is not a new convert. This isnot a believer who has only been walking with Christ for a few months. This isthe Apostle Paul. By the time he writes Philippians, Paul has walked withChrist for nearly thirty years. And yet, Paul says: "Not as though Ihad already attained, either were already perfect." The word"perfect" here does not mean sinless perfection. It means complete,finished, mature, or having fully arrived at the goal. Paulis saying, "I have not crossed the finish line yet. God's work in my lifeis not complete." What humility! The very man we would probably considerone of the greatest Christians who ever lived looked at himself and said,"I still have room to grow." One of the surest marks of spiritualmaturity is realizing how much more maturity is needed. The closer we get toJesus, the more clearly we see areas in our lives that need His transforminggrace. Have you ever noticed that when you first clean a window, it lookspretty good? But when the sunlight shines through it, suddenly you noticestreaks and smudges you never saw before.  1John 1:7 says: “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we havefellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses usfrom all sin.”  The closer we walkwith Christ, the brighter His light shines on our hearts. We begin to seeattitudes, motives, habits, and weaknesses that need to change. That does notdiscourage a growing Christian. Instead, it motivates him. Paul had what wemight call a holy dissatisfaction. He was satisfied with Christ, but he was notsatisfied with his own spiritual progress. There is a tremendous differencebetween those two things. Paul had found complete satisfaction in Jesus Christ,but he still longed to know Him more deeply, love Him more fully, and serve Himmore faithfully. Sadly,one of the greatest dangers in the Christian life is spiritual complacency. Thechurch at Laodicea is a perfect example. In Revelation 3:17 they said: "Iam rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing."ButJesus saw them differently. He said they were: "Wretched, miserable, poor,blind, and naked."  They thoughtthey had arrived when in reality they were far from where they needed to be.That danger still exists today.  Sometimeswe compare ourselves with other Christians instead of comparing ourselves withChrist. Paul never compared himself to other believers.He compared himself to Jesus Christ. And when you compare yourself to Jesus,there is always room to grow. Psalm42:1-2 gives us a beautiful picture of holy dissatisfaction: "As thedeer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soulthirsts for God, for the living God." The psalmist was not contentwith yesterday's fellowship. He longed for more of God today. That was Paul'sattitude. That should be our attitude as well. A satisfied Christian is often astagnant Christian. The Christian race is not over until we see Jesus face toface. There are still lessons to learn, victories to win, prayers to pray,people to reach, and ways to become more like Christ. So let us embrace whatPaul embraced—a holy dissatisfaction that keeps us pursuing Christ every day ofour lives.

This is the true God, and eternal life."

People leave churches for reasons that sound small at first, until you're living in the aftermath: a leadership change, a shift in culture, a relationship that breaks, a conflict that won't resolve, a sense that something went genuinely wrong. When that happens, the question isn't only “How do we fix this?” It's “What actually holds Christians together when everything feels unstable?” Stephen Feith leads us into the opening of 1 John with that exact problem in view, because this kind of fracture has been part of church life for thousands of years. We sit with John's first move and it's not what most of us expect. He doesn't start with personalities, hot takes, or a cleanup plan. He starts with Jesus as real and witnessed: heard, seen, looked at, and touched. That sensory language isn't decoration. It anchors Christian faith in the historical Jesus Christ and keeps a divided community from chasing a newer, more marketable message. We also unpack what John means by “eternal life,” not just endless time, but the fullness of the life to come and the wholeness God promises. From there, the conversation turns to a word churches use all the time: fellowship. We can manufacture affinity by gathering people with similar tastes, backgrounds, and frustrations, but John is talking about something deeper. Christian fellowship is shared participation in the life of God through Jesus, and that's why it holds when preferences change, people disappoint us, and nostalgia can't be recovered. We close by returning to communion as a lived reminder that unity is received at Christ's table, not produced by our own strength.

Recorded LIVE on June 14, 2026

In 1 John 5, John revisits familiar territory as he reminds believers why he wrote this letter: that our joy may be full, that we may not be deceived, and that we may know we have eternal life. Surrounded by false teachers and competing beliefs, John points us back to the truth that everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. John reminds us that loving God's children and obeying His commands is not a burden but a delight. As followers of Jesus, we are called to go to everyone, everywhere, every day with the Good News that whoever believes in Jesus can be born of God. Most importantly, John declares that everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith. We were designed to overcome, not through our own strength, but through faith in Jesus Christ. The world can never satisfy the desires of our hearts, but Jesus can. Stay connected to the Source of life, trust in Him, and take what you know to be true and teach it to someone else.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/ejZAvEPNt-MSubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_

New Testament Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville Strong Christians Have Close Relationships Introduction: In our men's weekend with Jacob Hudgins, he asked a very important question about Samson. The question was this: “Who were Samson's close friends?” It was a question that most, if not all of us had never considered. Samson not only did not have close friends, there is no evidence that he had anyone that could be considered a friend. Samson doesn't believe he needs anyone. He is a one man wrecking crew. From the very first, “Get her for me, she pleases me well,” to “…strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged on the Philistines for my two eyes,” Samson lived life his way.  Does that sound familiar? Do we really need anyone else to be very close to us? Oh sure, we can use some help from time to time, but we just take care of our responsibilities. Let's be honest, most of us have a very independent nature and can easily live independent lives. But that is far from what God has asked of us. When we read the book of Acts, we should suddenly be struck with three major messages, the growth of the kingdom of God, the persecution of Christians in the midst of a dark and idolatrous world, and the fact that everywhere the gospel is preached a church came into being—a group of Christians dedicated to working together and helping each other attain an eternal goal. And they weren't just a “group” holding “services” together, they were deeply interconnected.  In fact, when we consider the 27 writings of the NT, every single letter stresses the love and concern that is to be evident among brethren in each church. The letter that says it more than any other is 1 John. John's letter will be our primary text. Overall Context At the end of the first century, Christians were dealing with individuals in the churches that had turned aside from the teachings of the apostles and instead believed they received inspired messages from spiritual beings. Their claim of super knowledge led them to exalt themselves above other Christians, cause divisions by establishing new churches, and cause doubt among Christians who had not received these same “revelations.”  John defeated these teachings with the emphasis on three primary truths: Those who truly know God keep his commandments by following the teaching of the apostles.  Practicing sin is not living righteously, and one who practices sin is not of God. Those who exalted themselves above the brethren and “went out from us” based on their own teachings, do not love the brethren, nor do they love God.  Our concern will be the emphasis John puts on this last point. We might look at these three messages of John and give our attention more to “keeping the commandments of God” and refusing to “practice sin” than we do to “loving the brethren.” But you may be surprised that is not how John presents his message.  Before we read these verses, a reminder: You may be thinking, “We all know that we are to love each other, and we do love each other. Why this sermon?” Two reasons: We all have difficulty thinking of love much beyond how we feel about each other and our ability to be friendly with each other. What we are missing is that the slightest offense instantly destroys those kind, friendly feelings. That is obviously not the kind of love the Lord is talking about. Because we struggle to obtain and maintain the love defined by John in his letter, we easily retain a suspicion about each other: “Can I really trust you to be gentle, kind, and patient, and that my welfare is a top priority for you?” If you are honest, you know you cannot say that about just anyone, even those you say you love!  Highlighting John's Message of Love (1 John) 2:6-11 An old commandment that has now become new. 3:9-23  9-10: Loving one another is on the same plane as “practicing righteousness.” 14: “We have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers.” 16: “By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.” Jesus defined love by lying down his life, which defines for us whether or not we are loving one another.  18-19: “Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him…” Our assurance of salvation has to do with whether or love goes beyond “word and talk.”  21-23: “Whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing to him. And this is the commandment that…we love one another…”  4:7-8 Whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.  4:10-12 God's love is perfected in us when we love one another. It is the way the God who has not been seen, can now be seen.  4:17 “By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for he day of judgment…” 4:20-21 “…he who does not love is brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.”  5:1-2 “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.”  Throughout these texts we have seen time and again the absolute necessity of loving one another in the same way Jesus has love us if we expect to be saved. Serious historical problem among churches: stressing doctrinal correctness to the point that how we behave and whether we love each other as John has defined does not even enter the picture of our own salvation. That is a perfect description of the Pharisees!  Beyond “Feeling” Love: Deepening Our Connections We mentioned at the beginning of the lesson that a good test of love between one another is when suspicion is removed and trust is the foundation of the relationship. Consider Proverbs 17:17, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Therefore, instead of asking, “Do you love the brethren,” ask, “Who do you know that will love at all times regardless of the challenges and difficulties? Who do you trust that will always “be there?”  Here's another challenge: “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” (James 5:16). Who could you confess your sins to? It is a matter of love and trust, isn't it? Hebrews 3:12-13 “Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” Exhorting one another every day is the key to avoiding the deceitfulness of sin and an evil heart.  Hebrews 10:24-26 “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. For if we go on sinning deliberately…” Our assembling together is a matter of loving and protecting each other from slipping and falling in our faith. If we do not have love that trusts and lacks suspicion, we cannot obey this command.  The critical use of time to build trusting love: (Story of the El Cajon men who met once on Wednesday night after class) The love God expects of us that sacrifices self, protects and encourages, stirs up to more love and good works, is not attained simply by potlucks. There must be intentionality and purpose in the togetherness.  Examples: One couple together with another couple discussing marital and spiritual challenges in marriage and raising a family. A group of men discussing how we can enhance our love for our wives and our children. Mixed groups of singles and married discussing the spiritual needs of each and how we can help one another and make deeper connections. How can this happen? What are possible objections? “No one invites me.” — Do you respond to the invitations give to the whole church? Take advantage to what is already in place so that you are more visible and accepting. Create your own connection. Invite others.  Start small with a “safe” small group, or even just one person. Add to that and build on it. Step up to the plate as a shepherd/leader. All of us can find people we can mentor, show concern for, and be vulnerable with. Conclusion: The goal is deepening our love for someone else and their love for us. We need to be more than a family, we need to be God's family. You will be surprised that within a short time you can establish and trusting love with your brother and sister in Christ. Don't be a “Samson!” That's victory over the devil! Berry Kercheville The post 1 John: Strong Christians Have Close Relationships appeared first on Woodland Hills Church of Christ.

John 16:2 “They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.” What will make the disciples outcasts from the synagogue? Jesus' words and their love for Him and others made them outcasts in the synagogue. The disciples went into the synagogues preaching Christ crucified and risen and giving His commandment, namely, if you believe in God, believe also in Jesus and love one another as Jesus has loved us. We know this because of John's letters. He took those two commandments and made them into one. “Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight. This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us” (1John 3:21-23). Their message testified of a new covenant in His blood, which replaced the old covenant worshipped in the synagogues. The new commandment fulfilled all of the Law. Do you think that was a welcomed message? We know it wasn't. The book of Acts and Paul's testimony to the Galatians confirms these words of Jesus to His disciples. When Saul (later known as the apostle Paul) and his companions stoned Stephen because of the gospel, they thought they were serving God. Paul wrote to the Galatians recorded in 1:13-14, “For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.” We may experience the same rejection if we reduce all of the Christian walk down to believe that Jesus is God, and that living to love with Him on a daily basis is God's call on your life. It seems too simple. But what about all those standards that identify us as Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, Mennonites, etc.? Hm. These words of Jesus are prophetic, but they are still the words that keep us from stumbling. Let us love on with Him.

We're kicking off our new retrospective series, John Carpenter: The Shape of Dread, with a two-part look at ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13. This week, we examine the early life and formative influences of John Carpenter, tracking his upbringing and his time at the University of Southern California before he jumped into his second feature assignment. We break down the initial development of the script and how Carpenter adapted classic Western tropes for a contemporary, urban landscape. We also follow the production timeline through the logistics of securing financing and assembling the essential cast and crew, including the casting of Austin Stoker and Darwin Joston. Part 2 drops next week, covering the chaotic shoot and the film's enduring legacy.

01 1 - John the Baptist 6-7-26 by Mike Hurtgen

Mark breaks down yesterday's hearings, where lawmakers questioned administration officials on Iran, the economy, and immigration. Marco Rubio defended the administration's Iran policy, Scott Bessent faced scrutiny over budget and IRS issues, and Markwayne Mullin answered questions on immigration, DHS spending, and cybersecurity. The overall focus was on accountability, transparency, and whether current policies are delivering results. Some Republicans voted for the War Powers Act, which could help undermine President Trump's power against Iran. Donald Trump, in an interview, doesn't understand why the Bidens would go to Waffle House if Former First Lady Jill Biden thought Joe Biden was having a stroke.  Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve discusses how energy prices have hurt some Americans, but the Big Beautiful Bill has benefited many people. Getting a job can make you happier and healthier as you live your life. Samsung is the latest company to move out of the Garden State, and you need businesses in states and areas to create jobs. Steve explains what you and companies can do to change that. Are voters starting to wise up in California by switching which party gets into political seats for financial reasons, especially taxes?   President Trump has nominated Todd Blanche to serve as attorney general, replacing Pam Bondi. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues expanding its domestic weapons production, including drones, as it prepares for the possibility of a prolonged conflict with Russia. Mark also explains how Ukrainian drones struck targets near St. Petersburg as President Putin's flagship economic forum got underway, which highlighted Ukraine's ability to project force deep inside Russian territory. Former Trump advisor John Bolton agrees to plead guilty to retaining classified information. The shakeup at 60 Minutes is one to watch.  Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. They discuss whether Jill Biden's new book will be a sales success, Jimmy's optimism about the Knicks' championship chances, and the wild betting odds surrounding a potential Knicks-Spurs Finals matchup. They also talk about the future of 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley's role at the network, and the behavior of prominent left-leaning media personalities. Plus, Jimmy explains why he frequently uses the phrase "her girl" on the air.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(1) John Batchelor and Bill Roggio introduce the global landscape of current conflicts, noting that reporting on these issues is often marginalized by major newspapers. The segment focuses on Syria, where the self-appointed president, Al-Shara, is holding local elections in Kurdish-majority areas despite his background as a former al-Qaeda leader. Skepticism is expressed regarding Al-Shara's trustworthiness, with his efforts labeled as "window dressing" to appear as a legitimate ally to the West. Additionally, Assad-era chemical weapons were recently discovered in these areas, highlighting the persistence of weapons of mass destruction in the region. Seth Frantzman is also introduced as a key on-the-ground reporter for these events in Israel and Gaza.1701
