This sermon on 3 John talks about the power of personal engagement and the fact that, in Scripture, if you’ve received one of Christ’s messengers, you’ve received the message as well.

This sermon shows us Jesus as the Second Adam and the Church as the New Eve. The first Eve was not properly guarded by Adam, the second Eve has a more attentive husband, the Lord Jesus Himself.

This sermon on 1 John 5:16-21 underscores the power of our prayers and helps us to understand that, according to John, we're life-givers in Christ, anointed with the Spirit. One of the primary ways that we give the Life that's been given to us is through prayer.

In this section of 1 John the confidence, assurance, and hope that John has tried to work into his readers since the beginning of the letter is applied specifically to prayer. The sermon seeks to explain how and why we can pray with confidence.

This sermon, provocatively entitled, is designed to underscore the basic truth of 1 John 5:6-12, that truth being that life and truth are found in Jesus and the Spirit. Sometimes conservative Christians act as if, or outright believe, that life and truth are bound up in the Scriptures. In fact, life and truth are found in the One to whom the Scriptures bear witness, not in the Scriptures themselves. This sermon makes that case and then applies its implications to our spiritual lives.

This sermon seeks to explain what John means when he says that God’s commands aren’t burdensome and that our faith overcomes the world. The commands to love our enemies, engage in self-denial, and overcome evil with good are actually incredibly burdensome to our natural inclination toward self-preservation, so what does John mean, and in what sense does our obedience overcome the world?

This sermon explains Judgment Day as, perhaps, the supreme revelation of God’s love for us in Christ as his perfect love casts out our fear of future judgment.

This sermon shows that we are the solution to God’s invisibility. His plans and purposes for the world are to be accomplished through our hands as we walk in love.

This sermon looks at the deceptive way(s) that love can be mishandled, misinterpreted, and misapplied when it is not governed and defined by the Spirit of Truth.

This sermon looks at the upside down ethic of the Christian movement in the first century and compares it to the world around them. John was teaching the early Christians how to live in a world that hated them. From the looks of it, we need to learn how to live in a world that loves us.
