1 John 5:1-12 There’s a lot of talk nowadays about ‘people of faith’, as if it doesn’t really matter what you believe. But this passage makes clear that our faith must be in Jesus Christ. Such faith is transformational, rational, and essential.
1 John 4:7-21 What does our world need most? Surely, love would be up there on
anyone’s wish list. But how’s that going to happen? Where’s that going to come from?
The Bible claims that Christianity has the answer.
Acts 13:44–14:7 How can Christians cope in opposition? It’s only by the theological conviction that leads to proclamation.
Acts 13:13–43 What makes Jesus worth following? He is the best saviour we could possibly have!
Acts 12:25 – 13:12Paul and Barnabas are sent to proclaim the word of God, and that word is better than syncretism.
Acts 12:1-25 The world opposes the God who rescues, judges, and whose word cannot be stopped.
1 John 4:1-6 There is growing interest in all kinds of spirituality – astrology, reincarnation, psychics, the healing power of crystals. What do you make of all this? Is it encouraging that at least people believe there is something beyond the material world? This passage tells us to beware – we need to test the spirits because not all are from God.
1 John 3:11-24 Do you have assurance that you know God and are saved? If so, why? Is your assurance built on a firm foundation? Some have false assurance, whereas others lack the assurance they should be enjoying. This passage tells us the right basis for assurance.
Acts 11:19–30 The Lord will build his church through the preaching and teaching of Christians, and the church is to be outward looking.
1 John 2:28-3:10 If you’re a Christian, does it matter how you live? If we’re saved by grace, not by our works, does that mean we can just live as we want? Do we have diplomatic immunity when it comes to sin and prosecution? This passage makes very clear that isn’t the case. If we don’t practice righteousness, we’re not part of God’s family.
