So many Christians are reluctant to cooperate with God's willingness. Many times we want our own way, which runs in the opposite direction of God's way. We turn back to First John on this broadcast and examine the words of chapter three, and verses ten through twenty-four.

Starting in September, we’ll be changing our midweek services into something we call Calvary Life. Calvary Life is PURPOSELY designed to be a midweek gathering to help try and connect people to the life of Calvary Old Bridge. Through September, we’ll have staff pastors teaching on Community and what it means to be connected with each other.

Our hope is that this new midweek service will help each of us, particularly younger and newer believers find the community God wants for each of us. We talk a lot about "Christian Community" however little is done to foster it – we want to see it take place and are willing to work at making it happen!

Our focus continues to be First John chapter three, and today we'll look together at verses one through ten. Is it possible for a Christian to be unchanged when compared to his or her days before Christ?

Today on Bridging the Gap, we'll learn that if a person has no fruit, then he or she had better check their root. Because the Bible says that no one who abides in Christ sins; and no one who sins has seen Him or knows him. Now before you think that this means a Christian is sinless, stick around for some clarification as Pastor Lloyd Pulley returns to his study of First John.

John Rosemond is the nation’s leading parenting expert and provides common-sense advice for raising your children. John is a nationally syndicated columnist and author of many books, including Parenting by the Book.
A family psychologist by license, John points out to all his audiences that "psychology has caused more problems than it has solved for American parents." John's mission is to be a counter-weight to the psychological parenting paradigm that was sold to America in the late 1960s/early 1970s, restore commonsense to the raising of children, and give parents the guidance needed to raise happy, well-mannered children who will, as adults, contribute value to culture and society.

Today we continue Pastor Lloyd's series in First John. John wrote this letter, because he sought to share his wonderful experience and joy in knowing Jesus Christ as Savior. Today we’re going to also learn that there’s more to being a believer than just saying we’re one. Fellowship with obedience and love. That’s what Pastor Lloyd will emphasize today.
