John: Life in His Name | Passage: John 4:43-54

Tony Hanmer on 1 John 5:13-21. Series: 1 John—Life in God's Love Our final message in our 1 John series. "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Dear children, keep yourselves from idols." --- Tbilisi International Christian Fellowship is a Christ-centred family of believers in Tbilisi, Georgia.

What does it mean to have life in Christ? Join us as we look at the crucial aspect of abiding in Him.

Chapter five opens with John driving home the core message of the entire Christian movement: belief in Jesus = life. This life in Jesus (new birth) leads to a supernatural desire to obey God. Obedience shifts from drudgery to delight when we experience a love relationship with our Creator. This faith in Jesus makes us conquerors in this world. Finally, John points to the three-fold testimony of the water (baptism of Jesus), the blood (crucifixion of Jesus), and the Spirit (Holy Spirit) as evidence that Jesus is the Son of God and the source of true life for all human beings.

What does it mean to have life, true life? How can it only be found in Jesus? Join us as we discuss these topics and introduce our new series in John: in the Upper Room.

John shared his story with us a few months back about his experiences in life that led him to attend treatment. Join us as we circle up with him about returning to work and life after treatment

The GospelMany of us wish we could constantly be fired up for God. We want a stronger desire to follow Him, we long to submit to Him, and we really do want to share Him with others. But life's roadblocks can get in the way.The question is... Despite all of those roadblocks, how can your devotion to God be stronger? How do you ensure that it endures regardless of external circumstances?Perhaps you can recall when you first became a Christian and how eager you were to attend church and read your Bible. But somewhere along the way, it became all too easy to fall into a "groove" with schedules filled with Christian activities, leading us to just hit "cruise control" throughout our journey.And as heartbreaking as it is to admit - that is exactly what a lukewarm believer is described as.A lukewarm Christian is typically one who has retreated so gradually that they are unaware of their own complacency. Or a person who is still attempting to figure out how to have it all - the things of this world, and a relationship with Christ. We introduce a destructive level of misunderstanding in both situations. We start living for ourselves when we allow ourselves to become lukewarm. We also spread a false understanding of God's grace.If you're reading this, you're probably pleading like David did, "Restore to me the joy of your salvation”. But despite your pleading, it feels impossible to see a clear path from where you are to those times of passion in God's presence.Because friends… It really is possible to maintain a flame for God. Our devotion to God doesn't have to be limited to fleeting moments after attending a powerful sermon, gathering, or performance. When we start relying on external things to fuel us up rather than God himself… that's where we find ourselves in trouble.The first step is to take a fresh look at the Gospel.Paul tells us in Romans that the Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes… Meaning that the Gospel is just as much for believers as it is for unbelievers. The present tense describes the continual process of believing. The gospel saves us not just at the time of conversion, but it continues to save us throughout our entire lives.If you've lost your enthusiasm for Jesus, you need to be in awe of the Gospel again.To recap the Gospel in just a few words…God created us to be with Him. (Genesis 1-2)Our sins separate us from God. (Genesis 3)Sins cannot be removed by good deeds. (Genesis 4 – Malachi 4)Paying the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again. (Matthew – Luke)Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life. (John)Life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever. (Acts – Revelation)Sit with that message for a second.No run of good days will get us nearer to God, and no run of terrible days will condemn us. Because of the love that Jesus, the Father, and the Spirit have for us, he willingly offered his life for us.Make every effort to embed this profoundly transformative Gospel message in your heart and thoughts.PrayerGod, Today, I ask for passion. I ask for a greater desire to follow You and carry out Your will in my life. Please make the Gospel the forefront of my thoughts. I cherish you. Help me to love you more and more each day. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Greg Stier is the visionary behind Dare 2 Share, a ministry that helps youth learn how to share their faith. On today's episode he talks about how to share the Gospel using six key words. The Six Words Gospel You can tell someone about Jesus using a six-letter acrostic that spells out the word GOSPEL. GOD created us to be with him.     (Genesis 1-2) OUR sin separates us from God.    (Genesis 3) SINS cannot be removed by good deeds.    (Genesis 4-Malachi 4) PAYING the price for sin, Jesus died and rose again.    (Matthew-Luke) EVERYONE who trusts in Him alone has eternal life.    (John) LIFE with Jesus starts now and lasts forever.    (Acts-Revelation)

During the Passover celebration, the Jewish nation remembers the Exodus: its release from slavery, the conquering of the Red Sea, and miraculous provision in the wilderness. As the nation celebrates, Jesus feeds thousands of people in the wilderness, shows Himself enthroned over the Sea of Galilee, and invokes the divine name "I AM" (from the Exodus). But the crowds who were present misunderstood, and just like the Israelites of the Exodus, the most confusing part of our faith is our time in the desert.
