P.M. Service-8/24/25-Pastor David Phelps
One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. [NIV]
What if Christianity isn't about you trying to be like Jesus at all? What if it's something far more radical—something that changes your core identity the moment you believe? You were never called to improve the old you. You were called to live a brand-new life—God's own life—flowing through you. This isn't motivational hype. It's a reality so powerful, it could dismantle everything religion ever taught you about “trying harder.” In this teaching, we're unpacking the spiritual reality of what it means to be born of God—to carry His DNA, His nature, and His Spirit in you. We're talking about why the fruit of the Spirit isn't a “to-do list” but a natural outflow of who you already are. And we'll explore why you can't ever be “un-joined” from Christ, even when you mess up. If you've ever struggled with identity, felt like you're failing as a Christian, or wondered if you're really pleasing God, this is your wake-up call.

To be born of God means that you are incapable of remaining in sin.
“The Fruit of the Spirit is not a choice we make but a manifestation of those who are truly born of God.” -Galatians 5:22-23

Dr Don Trest teaches from 1 John the role that sanctification plays in the life of a believer. God works in the life of His children to train them in righteousness.bfc4u.org, facebook.com/bfc4u
Some believe in Jesus and some do not. Why do people not believe...even reject, while others believe? Why do some reject for a time (sometimes a long time) and then believe? What happens, what makes the difference?
In this message, pastor Ethan Bricker discusses why all Christians have been called royal priests and what the priesthood of all believers means for us in our modern-day lives. To be a priest first and foremost means to be a first follower - someone who is willing to follow a leader before anyone else. Contrary to our post-modern mindsets, FOLLOWING IS LEADING. God has called us to approach him, become united with Him by His Son, and mind the gap between the lost and our Father who finds.For more information regarding The Clearing Church, visit our website by clicking hereFollow us on Instagram today by clicking hereWatch the message on our YouTube channel here
Dr. Don Trest continues teaching from the Apostle John. Today's passage begins in 1 John 3:7-8. Pastor Don starts to ask questions and build a framework from the scripture to teach on this vital subject.bfc4u.org, facebook.com/bfc4u

1 John 5 emphasizes faith in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah, obedience to God's commandments, and God's testimony about His Son. From a Hebraic perspective, faith in Yeshua brings to fullness, rather than abolishes, the Torah.Faith & Love – True belief in Yeshua leads to love for God and obedience to His commandments (1 John 5:1-3, Deut. 6:5).Victory Through Faith – Those born of God overcome the world through faith in Yeshua (1 John 5:4-5, Joshua 1:8-9).Three Witnesses – The Spirit, water (baptism), and blood (sacrifice) testify to Yeshua's Messiahship (1 John 5:6-8, Deut. 19:15).God's Testimony is Supreme – Rejecting Yeshua is rejecting God's truth (1 John 5:9-10, John 16:13).Eternal Life in Messiah – Yeshua is the source of eternal life, fulfilling the Torah and prophetic promises (1 John 5:11-12, Daniel 12:2).Love is demonstrated through obedience, aligning with Torah (Exodus 20:6, John 14:15).Overcoming the world mirrors Israel's victory by faith and obedience.The testimony of Yeshua as Messiah is established through multiple divine witnesses.Faith in Yeshua, obedience to God's Word, and trusting His testimony lead to victory, assurance, and eternal life.
Can you answer that I do believe that Jesus is the Christ & that Jesus is the Son of God?If so, the Bible says you love Jesus especially having been born of God. Our study today takes us through the end of chapter 4 of 1st John and into chapter 5 concerning our love for the brethren. The question is asked: who is my brother? Listen as Dr. Mitchell tells us from the Unchanging Word. Here is Dr. Mitchell to continue… 1John 4 verse 20.
The Narrow Junior High Ministry
John 1:12-13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. These verses were written in contrast to the previous statement about Jesus coming to His own, meaning the nation of Israel, and their not receiving Him. As we know, they not only didn't receive Him, they killed Him. They declared Him an imposter and a demonized fraud, which John revealed later in his gospel. In contrast to the children of Israel are the children of God, described in verses 12-13. First, they received Him by faith as they believed in His name. In the minds of John's readers, that meant they trusted in the works of Jesus. A child derives his identity and his name from his father. John recorded Jesus saying that a son does the works of his father (John 8:38). When Jesus asked Peter about His identity, Peter declared Jesus to be the son of God (Matt. 16:16), understanding Jesus' works to be the works of His Father. Those who believed Jesus to be the Son of God, doing the works of the Father, received Jesus for who He said He was. Second, God gave those who received Him through faith the right to become His children. That right of sonship wasn't something they earned. It was a right given when God regenerated them. So the right was received by virtue of new birth. Third, those who received Him and believed in His name did so because they were born of God. John made it clear that this birth wasn't by natural means. He explicitly said it was not a right they obtained because of their physical heritage. They weren't born into it through their earthly parents. They also didn't receive the right to be a child of God because of a choice they made of their own wills, meaning the faith they had was not produced naturally apart from God's power. Furthermore, the right to be children of God was not conferred upon them by an agency of man. Someone didn't simply declare that these people who received Jesus were God's children. No, as many as were born of God, the spirit of life in the son of God was given to them, and they believed in His name and received Him. Not by choice, but by the transforming, regenerating power of the Spirit of God according to God's choice. The apostle Paul put it this way in Romans 8.2. “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.” John had said that in Jesus was life (vs. 4), so when God gives birth to His children, He gives them His life, His Spirit, the Spirit of the Son, the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit creates new life in someone, they believe in Jesus' name and receive Him. Thus, they are children of God. If this experience is yours, then you know that in receiving Jesus, you have received His life. The assurance that God gave you so you know you are rightfully God's child is faith in Jesus as the Son of God, sent to do the Father's will and works on your behalf. You were born again, not to live for God. You were born again so Jesus might live for you! The Son of God was born again in you. He first came into the world in Israel. Now He has been born anew in you, the new Israel of God. The earthly Israel did not receive Him, but as many as are in the new Israel, have received Jesus as the Light and Life of the world. As we live to love with Jesus, we testify to our birthright and love in His name for the glory of God. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may be encouraged to turn their hearts to God and live to love with Jesus.

Those Born of God Do Not Sin??? | 1 John 3 In this episode of the Bible in Life podcast, John and Steven reflect on the nature of sin. Is sin merely breaking God's rules or some religious laws? If we're forgiven, does God no longer see our sin? And what does John mean by saying the person who is born of God does not sin?
