Description: At first look, Ephesus seems like a very “right on” church that is very busy for the Lord, but all is not as it seems! IV. REV 2:4 NEVERTHELESS I HAVE THIS AGAINST YOU, THAT YOU HAVE LEFT YOUR FIRST LOVE. It must have broken John’s old heart to know that even in his lifetime, people were forgetting the Jesus!
REVELATION 01 – JOHN AND HIS VISION
Revelation 01 - John and His Vision
Description: Revelation is probably the most neglected and controversial book in the entire Bible because of the different viewpoints. In other words, “Where you start depends on where you end up!” We will approach our study from a Prophetic, Premillennial interpretation.
03 JOHN – HOW’S YOUR HEALTH?
03 John - How's Your Health?
Description: If our physical heath was in the same condition as our spiritual health, what condition would we be in this morning? Would we be healthy and full of life? Would we have a slight cold? Would we have the flu or pneumonia? Would we be hospitalized right now? Or would they be calling all the family to come be at our bedside while we slipped from this world into the next?
02 JOHN – YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH
02 John - You Can't Handle the Truth
Description: John 18:37-38 (NKJV) — 37 Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” 38 Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.”
Can we rightly handle the truth? Is truth as subjective as the world would like us to believe?
01 JOHN 04 – LOVE AND LIES
01 John 04 - Love and Lies
Description: There are many telling us how to get to know God or at least “the God within us”. The Apostle John is going to give us a “check list” on how we can know whether a prophet is false or not. We ARE NOT supposed to believe every spirit and WE ARE to test them, because there are many false ones out there.
01 JOHN 03:14-25 – THIS IS WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE
01 John 03:14-24 - This Is What Love Looks Like
Description: 1JN 3:16-18 BY THIS WE KNOW LOVE, BECAUSE HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US. AND WE ALSO OUGHT TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR THE BRETHREN. 17 BUT WHOEVER HAS THIS WORLD’S GOODS, AND SEES HIS BROTHER IN NEED, AND SHUTS UP HIS HEART FROM HIM, HOW DOES THE LOVE OF GOD ABIDE IN HIM? 18 MY LITTLE CHILDREN, LET US NOT LOVE IN WORD OR IN TONGUE, BUT IN DEED AND IN TRUTH.
