1 John 3:1-10

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Ron Arbaugh • 1 John 3:1–10

God’s great love is so extravagant that John describes it as other-worldly. It is beyond our capacity to understand…

1 John 2:18-29

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Ron Arbaugh • 1 John 2:18–29

v.29 'If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.' --  This is how we can know (another test) that we are abiding in Him: because we know He is righteous, we who claim to belong to Him do what is right!  Isn’t that simple?  How do you know if you are really a Christian?  You do what is right because you are abiding in Him and He is abiding in you…

1 John 2:12-17

April 14, 2024 • Pastor Ron Arbaugh • 1 John 2:1–6

No one sins when walking in the light. It’s when we start straddling the line between light and darkness that we find sin. Lots of sin would never happen if we were not where we are not supposed to be doing things we ought not to do…

1 John 1:6-10

April 7, 2024 • Pastor Ron Arbaugh • 1 John 1:6–10

... if we claim to be Christians, we have to agree with God about what sin is!  We have no right to negotiate with God or to try and alter His point of view regarding sin…

1 John 1: 2-7

March 17, 2024 • Pastor Ron Arbaugh • 1 John 1:2–7

When God wanted to reveal Himself to the world, when He wanted to show the depth of His love, how did He do it? By becoming one of us!
