Bible expositor Sandy Simpson continues his study in 1 John.
In this lecture, Elizabeth Oldfield delves into the profound message of love as articulated in 1 John 4:7-19, unpacking its implications for our lives during turbulent times. She invites the audience to explore how love serves as both a divine command and an antidote to fear—a theme that resonates deeply in a world marked by uncertainty. Drawing from her experiences and insights, Oldfield emphasizes the importance of loving one another as a reflection of God's love for us, suggesting that such love not only unites but also strengthens communities.Oldfield begins by highlighting the emotional weight of the scripture, identifying a specific focus on the connection between love and fear. She asserts that fear can be an antithesis to love; those who fear have not been made perfect in love. This notion challenges the audience to reconsider their responses to fear, recognizing it as a barrier that can inhibit genuine connections. Through personal anecdotes, she illustrates how fear manifests in various domains of life and encourages attendees to confront these emotions rather than succumb to them. Emphasizing the relational aspect of faith, Oldfield articulates a model for spiritual growth rooted in love, arguing that we must love one another because we are first loved by God. She encourages the audience to view every interaction with others as an opportunity to express that love, even in the face of personal challenges. By moving towards one another during anxious times, communities can foster resilience and solidarity, which can lead to transformative experiences—ultimately positioning love as the counterforce to fear.The lecturer addresses the complexities of community dynamics, candidly acknowledging that loving others can be arduous. Oldfield points out that while the call to love may seem straightforward, it often involves personal sacrifice and the willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. The love we show to others reflects the love we have received from God, a love that is not dependent on our or others' flaws. This foundational idea underscores the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation within the community, as these practices serve to reinforce bonds and dissolve divisions.In closing, Oldfield leaves the audience with a call to action, emphasizing three practical steps: rooting down deep in God's love, actively moving towards each other in the face of fear, and committing to reconciliation where relationships may be strained. By embracing these concepts, she argues, individuals not only fortify their spiritual foundation but also contribute to creating safe spaces where all can be truly seen and valued. The lecture concludes with an invitation for attendees to lean into community practices that embody love, encouraging them to support one another through prayer and shared experience, thereby reinforcing the message that love is the medicine for a fearful world.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
This week we conclude our April focus of “Walking in the Way of Jesus”, having observed closely the love, compassion, surrender, sacrifice, and power through His resurrection. We come to where Jesus ascends to heaven and discover His love continues as He Still Walks With Us. But Why? How? And for what purpose? Join us this Sunday for a pastoral conversation about the love of God and how He has not left or forsaken us, “He Still Walks With Us.”

Join us as we continue our series in 1 John and look at how to be discerning.
Introduction A Certain Kind of Experience (v13-16a). The inner testimony of the Holy Spirit (v13). The eyewitness testimony of the Apostles (v14). Your own personal testimony of Christ (v15). A Certain Kind of Hope (v16b-19). A Certain Kind of Love (v20-21). Conclusion Christian assurance is an outworking of the love that God has shown us in Jesus Christ. It rests upon the testimony of God's Spirit within us, the testimony of the Apostolic witness, and the outworking of God's love in our lives. ‘I am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day!' (1 Tim 1:14). ‘Well done, good and faithful servant!' Enter into your master's happiness.' (Matthew 25:23).
Once again, John’s emphasis on true knowledge come to the forefront as he warns his readers about those who teach what is false. Though we know that we have God’s Spirit, it is ever important to be on the lookout for those who teach and do that which is not in accordance with truth.

Bible expositor Sandy Simpson continues his study in 1 John.
John’s purpose in writing was to assure his readers that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and they could be certain of their salvation. Our present-day culture seeks to undermine the gospel with false ideas that dilute the truth and stir us to doubt what the Bible teaches. This week, Melanie discusses six things that mark the life of a genuine believer and assure us that we truly know God.
