Greg Laurie: A New Beginning

John’s Spiritual Checkup | Sunday Message (Pastor Jonathan Laurie)


Listen Later

There are some ways to tell if you’re really walking right with Jesus—John lays it out for each of us. But even if you aren’t, we’ll see how to handle that as well. Listen in and get your spiritual checkup now.

Notes:

Focus verse - 1 John 2
 
Read 1 John 2:1–6
 
#1 How’s Your Walk?
1 John 2:1–6
 
Sin is serious, but Jesus is our Advocate.
 
It’s not if you sin—it’s when.
The question is, “How will you respond?”
 
Read 1 John 2:3–4
 
Are you walking toward Jesus? Are you alongside Him?
Or are you name dropping as you walk the other way?
 
Propitiation: the means by which sins are forgiven.
 
Read 1 John 2:7–11
 
#2 How’s Your Heart?
1 John 2:7–11
 
Sometimes it’s easier to love a God you can’t see than it is to love the person next to you.
 
Anyone who claims to live in God’s light and hates a brother or sister is still in the dark.
1 John 2:9 (MSG)
 
Redemption means giving the love you never received, because God gave it to you first. 
 
The compassion Christ showed you is the same compassion you’re called to show them.
 
 
If your heart is constantly cold toward others, if your instinct is to isolate, criticize, or cut people off, or if you cling to your grudge like an emotional support animal, maybe it's not them—it's you. 
 
Read 1 John 2:12–17
 
#3 What’s Got Your Heart?
1 John 2:12–17
 
Your spiritual health is not a matter of perfection, but direction.
 
Jesus isn’t saying that having wealth is the problem.
He’s saying being owned by it is. 
 
There’s nothing wrong with having possessions, as long as your possessions do not possess you.
 
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
1 John 2:17 (NKJV)
