Covenant Podcast

The love that I have for my brother in Christ is an assurance of my salvation (1 John 2:7-11 - 3/3 sermon). If I am a child of God, love will manifest itself in action (1 John 3:11-18 - 5/26 sermon). We can’t generate Christ-like love through our efforts, we must daily connect to the source of all love - God himself. Because God is love (v. 9).

If we are children of God, abiding in Christ and waiting expectantly for his return, we will have no reason to be ashamed or shrink back from his presence when he returns. Instead, we will be filled with confidence and anticipation at his coming. 

John reminds his fellow believers that they must test the spirits that they are listening to and see if they come from God. If they deny the incarnation they are from the enemy. Although there is an enemy, we don’t need to be afraid because we have someone greater on our side: the Holy Spirit.

Our love for one another is a duty and a test. It’s a duty that we’re commanded as christians to practice love. It’a test in that our practice of love for one another demonstrates the reality of our Christian faith. John is telling us that the command to love one another isn’t an optional part of our walk with Christ 

John is reminding us that those adopted into the family of God will not be comfortable in this world. Children of God should be uncomfortable in this sinful world, and often reminded that sin is a serious affront to God and contrary to the life of a child of God.

Believers in Jesus Christ have no need to fear deception if we are relying on the Holy Spirit and the Word of God for our doctrine and practice.

Gambling and investing are two fundamentally different things, even if both involve an element of risk. Although there is no clear teaching that gambling is a sin, it can be sinful to participate in it. We must allow the Holy Spirit to guide our understanding of what it means to love our brother and to be good stewards of what He’s given us.

We have are given free will and are responsible before a holy God for our decision to sin. But, God in His great love reaches out to us, and offers us a chance to repent and believe and he chooses to save us.

We want to be a church that is addressing the challenges and issues that people within our church are facing. We are soliciting questions from the congregation that we will make an attempt to address from a Biblical perspective.
