Listening WELL to the KING

220403 Walking with Jesus 1 Jn 5.13-21 and Wrap Up

John ends up talking about eternal security, prayer and sin.  But you really hear John's heart in the last verse.  John begs his kids not to let anything take the place of a relationship with Jesus.  John loved the Lord and wanted his kids to walk with Jesus and experience joy.

220327 Walk With Jesus 1 John 5.1-12

God's children's act like God's children.  They have faith in right things, they love the father, they love their brothers and sisters and they overcome the world.  Sweet!  Pastor Rick taught this message at CrossPoint Church

220320 Walk With Jesus 1John 4

God loves us.  As we walk with Jesus, the Spirit enables believers to supernaturally and sacrificially love others like Jesus.  Since God’s love is no longer visible in the presence of the incarnate Christ here on earth, God is manifesting His love through His people.  What a privilege and a responsibility!

220313 Walk With Jesus 1 John 3:11-24

Love one another. Love others sacrificially like Jesus loved us.  If you weren't sacrifical, you didn't love.  If you don't love your brothers, it's like you have murdered them.  Wow, John's words are convicting and inspiring.  On the other hand, if we stay connected to Jesus and love like He loved... the church is going make quite the impact.

220306 Walk With Jesus 1 John 2:28-3:10

Pastor John reminds his flock about abiding with Jesus.  It makes all the difference during our lives now and for eternity.  Pastor Rick taught this message at CrossPoint Church.

220227 Walk With Jesus 1 John 2:18-27

Old Pastor John didn't want the church to be deceived by antichrists... folks who distorted who Jesus and God were.  John felt believers can battle well because they have the Spirit living in us who can illuminate the Word of God for us.  

220220 Walk With Jesus 1 John 2:7-17

It is critical for believers to walk with God so that we can love others like Jesus loved others.  We can love others like Jesus loved others because we have the same resources that Jesus had... that is the Holy Spirit and the Word.  A loving community is the shouts the Gospel.  Thank God for His grace in our lives.

220213 Walk With Jesus 1 John 2:3-6

If you walk with Jesus you will obey Him.  If you say you walk with Jesus but don't obey Him... you are a liar.  Pastor Rick talks about how obeying God means you love God well.  It is exciting to understand that Jesus modeled what a perfect relationship with the Father looks like and that we have the same resources as Jesus had 2,000 years ago.

220206 Walk With Jesus 1 John 2:1-2

Everyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God, has an Advocate and a Propitiation. Sin offends God and separates us from God. Christ's atoning sacrifice on the cross appeases God's wrath and enables all those in God's family to have a rich relationship with God. Pastor Rick teaches from 1 John 2:1-2.

220130 Walk with Jesus 1 John 1:5-10

You can't walk with God and NOT be in community.  If you walk with God, you will be in community.  Confessing our sin restores our relationships with God and with others.  Pastor Rick taught from 1 John 1:5-10
