• Ep 168. 1 John 3: Behold, of what country....(Women's Bible Study)

  OK, chapter 3 is finally here. My sincere apologies again for being a week late. I'm determined to get us back on track. We see in this chapter that John is echoing the words of Jesus he heard spoken as a young follower. So when his audience asks "what gospel do we follow," John can point them back to the source, Jesus himself.  We revisit some familiar themes such as abiding, the old/new commandment, and the practice of righteousness. John also introduces a new theme of being called children of God, and as a child of God, we are marked with genetic markers of our Father. John says this is a lavish love that God has bestowed on us, and it's a love not of this earth. This unique and matchless love should fill us with confidence as we look forward the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and as we approach our Father in prayer.

• Ep. 167. Prepisode for 1 John 3: Women's Bible Study

  So we find ourselves crossing over the half way point of 1 John today as we begin chapter 3. We're actually reading from 1 John 2:28-29, then all of chapter 3, so don't miss those first two verses!! Do you have your colored pens and highlighters ready? Your text should be awash with color if you are doing this exercise of marking repeated words, phrases and ideas.  We can easily divide this weeks text into two main sections: 2:28-3:10, then 3:11 - 3:24. Can you identify the main theme from each section? Why would you choose this theme? Once again John uses the word "KNOW" extensively in this passage. We talked about his two uses of the word in the last episode. Pay attention this week to see which way he is using it again.   By now you should be able to identify John's three tests. (Well, can you???) As you read through this text, take note of which test John is writing about. Remember, John layers these teachings like a triple chocolate cake! Take note of John's use of contasts to make these tests (or assurances) real practical. Once you can identify them, John basically gives common sense examples as markers of believers and unbelivers. Finally, what word does John use in 2:28 and 3:21 to bookend this section. Is this a word you would readily use to describe your position with God? Look up the following verses:  Ephesians 5:27     Colossians 1;22 1 Thessalonians 5:23 How do these verses relate to John's word, and do they help you as you think about your position to the word?

• Ep 166. 1 John 2 - Three Tests of Faith: Doctrine, Obedience, & Love (Women's Bible Study)

  So this week, the apostle John very tenderly yet very earnestly writes to his audience with discussion on some heavy weight contenders for theological doctrines: our advocate in Jesus, tests of obedience and love, levels of spiritual growth, temptations from the world, and false teachers, whom John comes right out and calls antichrists.  I think as these "tests" begin to take shape, we also see how they are meant to be assurances to the faithful followers of Jesus. John isn't writing to scare people, he's writing to give them real assurance when their faith has been shaken.

• Ep 165. Prepisode for 1John Chapter 2: Women's Bible Study

  We are continuing out study of John's longer epistle this week as we read chapter 2. Your reading time is right around 4 1\2 minutes. Last week, we picked up a thread where John begins to indentify contrasts between people who walk in the light of Christ, and those who walk in darkness.  John will continue to blend this thread into the tapestry this week, as he points out more differences in these two groups.  Here are some things for you to think about and look for as you read: 1) Remember John's overall message in this epistle is 3 tests or assurances for people to apply to their lives in order to have assurance they have eternal life. Always try to keep that in the forefront of your mind as you read. 2) Look for and mark or highlight any repeated words, phrases or ideas. 3) Try to pick out those contrasts John lays down between the two groups of people.  4) How does John describe Jesus' ongoing role in a believer's life? What is Jesus doing for us today? 5) In the last episode, we talked about how Jesus said "eternal life was knowing the Father and the Son. How does John say this week, that "we know we have come to know him?" 7) What is the "old - new" commandment John is talking about in vs 7-11? 8) What does John have to say about the world? Can you think of examples in each category of   ** desires of the flesh  **  desires of the eyes  **  the pride of life  **? 9) How does John define antichrists in this chapter? Who are these antichrists specifically? Does this surprise you? 10) If the people are asking "What gospel do we follow?" What advice or assurance does John offer them in verse 24? Which test is this? That's enough to get you started!  Come back next week for the big discussion.

• Ep 164. 1st John chapter 1: Life and Light in God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ (Women's Bible Study)

  Well, my apologies for being a week late with this episode. You'll have to listen for my explanation, and I do hope you will forgive me, you know, in the spirit of fellowship. John opens his sermon this week with a basic fundamental teaching of Christian doctrine. This is one we don't have any wiggle room on: Jesus is fully God and fully man. Can we explain it perfectly? Nope. Do we understand it fully? Probably not. Is it essential that we believe it? Absolutely! The Eternal Life who was with God the Father, became flesh and brought his light into the darkness of the world. Life and Light.  John builds a framework for his audience to be assured of their salvation, and it begins with the belief that Jesus is fully God and fully man, and he came in the flesh to live a perfect life and stand in our place as a punishment for sin.
