HEARING AND LIVING THE TRUTH // 1 John 2:24-25

What does it mean to live according to truth and not feelings? What kind of truth is our faith based upon and how should that inform our lifestyle. Buky Olomolaiye shares.

THE ANOINTING // 1 John 2:20-23

What is the anointing and why does John believe it is of such importance to believers,

THE LAST HOUR // 1 John 2:18-19

Peter Rayner continues our study of 1 John as he preaches from chapter 2 verses 18 and 19. These two verses address the end times, the coming of the antichrist and of false teaching. How are we as Christians to respond to the witness of these verses?

LUTHER & THE GOSPEL // Reformation Sunday

This Sunday we celebrate the 503rd anniversary of the reformation. We ask the question; what relevance does the reformation have for us as Christians today? Graham Phillips focusses in on Romans 1:16-17 in order to answer this question.

DISORDERED LOVES // 1 John 2:15-17

We apologise for the poor audio in this recording. The original recording was lost so this audio was taken from the live stream. We hope you are still blessed by this fantastic word from Buky Olomolaiye as he expounds on these verses from the second chapter of John's first epistle.

GIVING // Do we have to tithe?

The Bible addresses the subject of giving on numerous occasions both in the old and new testaments. So what does new testament giving look like? Is tithing for today?

CHILDREN, YOUNG MEN, FATHERS // 1 John 2:12-14

What significance is there in the way the Apostle divides the church into these categories? What encouragement is there here for us as a church in the 21st Century? Dean Wild continues our study of John's first epistle.

A NEW OLD COMMANDMENT // 1 John 2:7-11

At first glance this passage seems to contradict itself. Is it an old commandment or a new commandment, John?! How can a commandment be both old and new at the same time? What does it mean to love one's brother?

LIVING CORAM DEO // 1 John 2:3-6

How can we know that we truly know Christ? Is it enough to know that at one point in our life we did have faith? We believe as the apostles believed that one can have assurance of their faith. True faith bears fruit. What is the evidence of true faith? Obedience to Christ's commandments.

LITTLE CHILDREN // 1 John 2:1-2

We have a mediator, an advocate with our Father in heaven. Buky walks us through what this means to us as followers of Jesus. He also discusses the extent of the atonement, does 1 John 2:2 suggest universal atonement?
