Podcasts about Word of Life

What is Christianity actually about? In this opening message of our series on 1 John, Pastor Mark begins where John begins: with eyewitness testimony. John declares that he and the other apostles heard, saw, and touched the Word of Life — and that claim was not made in a corner. It was a public proclamation of a real Savior who entered history in an actual human body.Drawing on the historical context of early Gnosticism, which denied the goodness of the physical world and infiltrated the early church like a parasite, this sermon unpacks why the bodily reality of Jesus matters so much. Our deepest problem isn't a lack of enlightenment — it's sin before a holy God. And our only hope is the real, historical, bodily work of Jesus Christ, testified to by eyewitnesses and proclaimed so that our joy may be complete.

Word of Life Bible Reading: The Other Side of Tragedy - Pastor Tom JJ Wood (05/31/2026) by Word of Life Assembly of God

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)

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we are looking at verse 16 of Philippians 2, whichsays: "Holding fast the word of life, that I may rejoice in the day ofChrist, that I have not run in vain or labored in vain." The phrase"holding fast" can also mean "holding forth." It paints apicture of something being extended outward for others to see. What are weholding forth? We are holding forth the Word of Life. This refers to thegospel, the life-giving message of Jesus Christ. The world around us isspiritually dying, and it needs the lifeline of the gospel. Picturesomeone drowning. They are about to go under for the last time. You happen tohave the only lifeline on the whole ship. You are standing there with theability to hold it forth and throw it to the individual who is drowning,rescuing them from certain death. That is exactly what we are called to do. Weare in the rescue business, rescuing precious souls—souls for whom Jesus Christdied—from entering eternity without Him. Peopletoday are searching for meaning, peace, forgiveness, and hope. We possess theonly message of eternal life. Jesus said in John 6:63: "The words thatI speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." We are notcalled merely to believe the gospel privately. We are called to proclaim itboldly. Jesus said: "You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you andordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruitshould remain." (John 15:16) Alighthouse does not hide its light. It shines outward to guide others safelyhome. Every believer is called to hold forth the Word of Life through bothspeech and conduct. Our message and our lifestyle need to match each other. Whenbelievers constantly complain, fight, or live inconsistently, the gospelmessage becomes clouded. But when our lives reflect Jesus Christ, the gospelbecomes visible through our very lives. ThenPaul says something very personal in this passage. He speaks about rejoicing: "ThatI may rejoice in the day of Christ." The Day of Christ refers to thetime when believers will stand before Christ for reward. It is also called “theJudgment Seat of Christ”, and is also referred to in the epistles as "theDay of Jesus Christ," or simply as "that Day". It refers to thetime when you and I will give an account of how we held forth the Word of Lifeand what we did to bring others to Jesus Christ. Paulreferred to this Day of Christ twice in Philippians 1. Philippians 1:6: "Beingconfident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you willperform it until the day of Jesus Christ." And then in Philippians1:10: "That you may approve the things that are excellent, that you maybe sincere and without offense till the day of Christ." In 1Corinthians 1:7–8, Paul wrote: "Waiting for the revelation of our LordJesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blamelessin the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." That Day refers to the time whenJesus Christ returns for His church, and believers stand before Him to berewarded. It is not a judgment for our sins. That was taken care of at thecross. Faithfulpastors do not simply want large crowds; they want transformed lives. Paulsaid: "…that I have not run in vain or labored in vain." Inother words, he desired that his life and ministry would not be empty orfruitless. There is no greater joy than hearing that those we have influencedare walking in the truth. 3 John 4 says: "I have no greater joy than tohear that my children walk in truth." Can you imagine the joy inheaven when we see those who were impacted by our witness? Everyconversation about Christ matters. Every gospel tract matters. Every prayermatters. Every act of kindness matters. We should never underestimate what Godcan do through simple faithfulness.

WOL Family give a warm welcome to Pastor Israel from Israel! Enjoy his exposition of the scriptures as he gives us a good way of interpreting modern events through the lens of the scripture. God be with you all!

John's powerful opening to his epistle, introduces Jesus as "The Word of Life." He reveals God's character, and the incredible truth of who Jesus is as both eternal God and real man, and that we can have true fellowship with our Creator. We learn why this relationship brings the greatest joy possible. Christianity is built on a living relationship with the God who became flesh, so we could know Him personally and experience fullness of joy.

This introduction to John's Epistles is filled with hope. John is explaining to believers that we can enjoy the fellowship that he and the other disciples of Jesus have with God as well. That in Jesus, the Word of Life, our joy is made complete!

The Word of Life is one of the wonderful titles given to our Lord Jesus Christ. The powerful purpose of the Bible is to reveal the Word of Life to us. As the Lord opens for us the first epistle of John, we find how quickly He leads us to the Word of Life. The things we find in this epistle are written to believers who "...believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God" (1 John 5:13).

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The WORD Of Life, Pt.2 Subtitle: Studies In 1st John Speaker: Richard Warmack Broadcaster: Grace Baptist Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 12/14/2025 Bible: 1 John 1:2-4 Length: 34 min.

John the Elder tells us that the world under the sway of the evil one is driven by pride, greed, and lust. (Think of how much advertising appeals to pride, greed, or lust.) This world (prophetically called Babylon) cannot be harnessed for good—even though religious ambition for political power imagines it can. The task of the church is not to reappropriate the engines of pride, greed, and lust, but to be something altogether different—the kingdom of Jesus Christ energized by faith, hope, and love.
