"Our Father..." - 1 John 5:1-5

It's Father's Day and like the other holidays we celebrate, there are mixed experiences on the human level. Some are triumphant and some are tragic.

But John has been speaking to us about being "born of God". In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul says that God is the "Father of all fatherhood"! Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be born from above...born again!

This whole idea of being born again can seem a bit confusing or elusive. Is it a warm fuzzy feeling? Do I have to experience some miraculous sign that it has happened? Why does it really matter, as long as I live a good life?

1 John 5 begins the summary of the letter. As John concludes, he gives some solid evidence...some ways to know....if we have been born of God.

Is God just God....or is He my Father? Have I been born of Him? That's what we will discuss if you...

"Love, as it was meant to be" - 1 John 4:17-21

Picking up in 1 John 17.....wow. Ok John, so....God is love, and that love became a tangible reality for humans at the crucifixion. God loved me while I was a sinner, and now I am one of His children.

Maybe God the Father was gracious when I was a sinner, but now....as a child, he has higher expectations. He is watching me closely. Now I know better. Now I feel the pressure --- obey, or else. Maybe you remember that as a kid. There was love, but were there times you were afraid?

John is writing to people who were worried about their future. Can they be certain they have done enough to appease God? How will it be when we are face to face on the day when we have to be accountable?

Our emotions tell us a lot about what we believe. What happens when we begin to understand that God's love is different? How does that impact my emotional life? My experience of relationship with God?

If you worry that you haven't done enough or been good enough....if you feel like God loves you but maybe he doesn't like you....if you feel the pressure of being rejected for bad behavior....then you need this next section. It just might change your life if you...

"It all comes back to this...." - 1 John 4:7-16

If John is the Apostle of Love...and he is....and 1 John is an appeal for God's children to love one another....and it is....then 1 John 4:7-21 is the epicenter.

This section is packed with love.....literally. On a quick review, I count 27 mentions of love in the 15 verses that lead us to Chapter 5. It is abundantly clear that love.....God's kind of love....is a big deal for John. He wants it to be a big deal for us.

If we let the apostle Paul chime in from 1 Cor 13 -- he says that everything and anything we do is nothing apart from love. Great music, beautiful buildings, historical tradition, compelling teaching, important activities.....are just fillers if there is not a foundation of committed love undergirding it all.

How do we experience the presence of an invisible God? How does He show up for us? Who says love is the right thing to do anyway?

So many questions. So many answers. If you want to know, then...
..Come and See!!!!!

"Healthy Suspicion" - 1 John 3:24 - 4:6

There is a healthy level of suspicion that John is encouraging in the church in 1 John 4. Remember, people say and do all kinds of things in the name of God.....and in the name of the Holy Spirit! John thinks we need to be more scrutinizing in the spiritual realm.

When someone presents us with a picture of Jesus that seems "off" or distorted, that should raise a red flag! We need to look more closely and ask more questions. There are a lot of spiritual fakes out there.

It is not unloving or ungracious to exercise spiritual caution. There are more forces at work than the Holy Spirit, and the realm of evil is invested in distorting Jesus.

What was the unworkable picture of Jesus being pedaled in John's day? How do we "test" what we hear?

That's the topic for this video, so...
