1 John 4:1-6 Who Are the False Prophets & False Teachers

Palm Sunday 2022 Luke 19:29-44
Palm Sunday. Why is this day important in the Redemptive History of God? Today we consider that question, and why it is important for every believer in Jesus as the Messiah of Israel.
1 John 3:19-24 God Is Greater Than Your Heart

Philippians 3:4-11 Paul (Saul) Throws It All Away

1 John 3:4-10 To Sin Or Not To Sin
Taken out of context this passage has been the source of squabbling among both scholars and “lay” persons for centuries. How are we to understand John’s statements in this passage? While the Greek grammar helps, the context helps more.
Philippians 3:1-3 Repetition is Beneficial
It cannot be stressed too much to be on guard against false teachers. In Paul’s day as in ours there are false teachers “on every street corner.” Repetition in sound teaching is necessary and beneficial for the saints.
