Being Like God

The Epistles of John 1 John 1:5-7 Being Like God We’re continuing to work our way through this book and the two small letters of 2nd and 3rd John that follow it. The last time we were to together we said that John in this book shows us how the Christian life expresses itself doctrinally, relationally, and morally. That is, how it expresses itself in the truth that we believe, in the love that we show for one another in the Christian church, the commitment that we show to our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ as well as to those who are neighbors outside of the body of Christ, in the way that we live in accordance with God's precepts and commands.

A Warning Against Schismatics and an Expression of Hope

Romans 16:17-20 A Warning Against Schismatics and an Expression of Hope If you have your Bibles, I would invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 16.

Colossians 2:8-15 “Lord, this is Your word and it was a word that You have given to us, not just to the Colossians, but to Your people of all ages and even to us this day. So You mean it for our edification, for our instruction, for our training in righteousness. So by Your word and by Your Spirit, reprove us, rebuke us, correct us and build us up in the Lord. We ask, O God, that You would give us seeing eyes and hearing ears and willing hearts to be obedient to Your word. Search us out by the Spirit to find if there is any unclean thing in us and speak to us by Your word, we…
