Emmanuel Baptist Church Sermons

1 John 2:12-14

The first part is verses 12-14, which focus on gospel truths about our identity in Christ.

The second part verses 15-17, focuses on our obedience to living out our identity in Christ.

This passage is structured around 3 statements that begin with “Whoever says..”

Verse 4: Whoever says I know Him

Verse 6: Whoever says I abide in Him

Verse 9: Whoever says I am in the light

These are all synonyms for what it means to be a Christian. A Christian knows Christ, abides in Christ and walks in the light of Christ.

If you claim these three descriptions as a believer in Jesus, then there must be some concrete evidence or fruit to support your claim.

What is propitiation? Does God have an intense hatred of our sin? How did He solve the problem?

Pastor Sean preaches 1 John 1:5-10. Here is the main idea of this passage: True believers cannot remain in habitual, unrepentant sin.

Pastor Sean begins 1 John, which addresses our assurance of salvation. How do you know you have life in Christ? John gives three tests: (1) Do you have the correct doctrine? (2) Do you have a holy lifestyle? (3) Do you have a sacrificial love for others?

Emmanuel Baptist Church celebrated its 70th anniversary. In this sermon from Exodus 33 and 34, Pastor Sean reminds us of how the LORD put Moses in the cleft of the rock and passed by, showing His glory. What is the steadfast love or "hesed" of the LORD? What should our response be to His faithfulness? Listen and find out.

In Chapter 18 of the 1689 London Baptist Confession, the opening sentence states, "Temporary believers and other unregenerate people may deceive themselves in vain with false hopes and fleshly presumptions that they have God’s favor and salvation, but their hope will perish."

What are "temporary believers?" Does the Bible teach a category of a person who professes faith for a time, but falls away because they never possessed genuine saving faith in the first place?

Dr. Sean Cole teaches the parable of the soils from Luke 8 to explain what the Confession and the Bible mean by "temporary believers."

How do you grow intentionally? Dr. Sean Cole preaches 2 Peter 1:3-8 which gives 7 qualities of a growing Christian. This is the second part of the sermon series on the Discipleship Pathway process at Emmanuel Baptist Church. A follower of Jesus grows intentionally and serves generously. How do you serve generously? A follower of Jesus uses his or her spiritual gifts to serve others. A disciple is also equipped and excited to share the gospel with courage and clarity.
