When John says, "Test the spirits," what does he mean? In this message, pastor Thomas exposits 1 John 4:1-6, and teaches that John actually gives us two tests to see if the Origen of the message that a person presents to us is from God's spirit or from the spirit of the antichrist. The test, is twofold. First it is confessional/doctrinal - the person professing Christ must confess the right things about him - things in accord with what the apostles passed on and, second, the person speaking this message must be born of God and display his fruits. At the end of the message, T. S. Myers gives an illustration that he has used a number of times that he heard from Paul Washer many years ago. It is about someone who claims to have been hit by a logging truck but doesn't look like it. The point is, you can't come into contact with something as big as a logging truck and not show it. Likewise, if we truly come into contact with the God of the universe, we will show it, and if we don't, it proves we haven't known him. So, if we are born again, it will show in how we live and what group who we listen to. Consequently, we have a criterion for testing the spirits, one must believe the right things, what the apostles have passed on to us, and one must be born of God which will show in our fruits and who we listen to.

When we live like God wants, focused on the gospel and consequently, doing good to others, we can have even greater confidence that God will answer our prayers. But how can this be? Listen along as T. S. Myers exposits a difficult passage, 1 John 3:19-24. Here we find that because God's Spirit lives within us, we will live a certain way and we can be persuaded that God hears us. But, if we harbor evil in our hearts and are not willing to lay our lives down for our brothers and sisters in Christ, then we will be found to have a hearts that condemns us. Come step on the scale of God's Word today as we evaluate the where God wants each of us to go.

Jesus calls us to love all people. But the mark of a Christian is supposed to be love for one another (that is, other believers). There is supposed to be something different about the believing community. In this sermon, T. S. Myers preaches through 1 John 3:11-18 explaining what Christian love is supposed to look like. He explains what it means for true believers to love one another - that this love is not limited to a few believers. In fact there is no room for unrepentant hatred in the believing community. Finally, he shows that true love always demonstrates itself in action.

Does what you do determine who you are or does who you are influence what you do? Join us as T. S. Myers works through this question by exploring 1 John. Here he explains that Christians who truly ARE God's children because they are in the Son, will start to look like the Son. He covers three conclusions from the passage he is expositing: 1) Because believers live in the sinless one (Christ the Son) they are Children of God and won’t continue to sin; 2) Living in sin (as in making a continual practice of sin) means that one is a child of the devil and they will continue to sin; and, 3) You can know you are Children of God because you do not look like the devil.

What you look to changes you. This is true whether you like it or not. And in the gospel of God, the first thing God does to change us is, reveal himself and his love in Jesus Christ. In this message, T. S. Myers exposits 1 John 3:1-3. Here, he teaches us that when we look to God's goodness and really understand it, we will be willing to let go of everything else. 1 John 3:1 talks about how those who have hope in Jesus purify themselves now. But this is not because they have to, but because they have taken hold of something better than anything this world can offer.

Can you lose your salvation? Does the Bible have anything to say on this topic? If you can't, then how do we make sense of those passages that require us to persevere to the end? Join us as T. S. Myers preaches through 1 John 2:18-29. Here we find that John is dealing with a group of people who left the church to start their own movement. John reveals that those who left did not really belong to Christ and his community in the first place.

Do you have trouble letting go of the world? Perhaps you're looking at it wrong. When we get a genuine glimpse of heaven, letting go of the world becomes easier. In this sermon, T. S. Myers goes over 1 John 2:15-17 explaining that people who truly hold onto the Father will let go of the world. So, what do you treasure? That will show in your actions.

Do you know who you will be in 30 years? It is pretty hard to see that far ahead, but those who are true followers of Christ will still be His followers. Following Jesus for such a long time is hard, and along the way we will face temptation to compromise or give in to the world. Know this, if we do not have strong boundaries set from the beginning, we will be susceptible to fall. In this message, T. S. Myers teaches through 1 John 2:12-14, a passage were the apostle John gives many reasons for writing that can serve as mental boundaries for believers. You will discover that John is writing so that believers will be encouraged to stay in the faith and abide in their wonderful position in Christ's salvation.

Do you know for sure that you know God? Well we can know that if we believe the gospel and are born again. But there are certain signs that accompany that salvation. Or, to uses Jesus' terminology in Matthew 7, there will be fruit that accompanies a genuine follower of Christ. In this message T. S. Myers goes over 1 John 2:1-11 and talks about three fruits of fellowship. First of all, fellowship with God Leads us away from sin and deals with our sin justly; second, fellowship with God means our obedience; and third, fellowship with God proves itself in love.

Did you know that fellowship with God has implications? This is because God is light. To be close to Him—to know Him—is to walk in His light. That means those who claim to walk with God but actually walk in darkness are  lying. This is the language of 1 John. Join us as T. S. Myers continues his series through this convicting book.
