Sat, 28 April 2007 John Honan - As we read 1 John 3:1-10 it mentions the family of God into which we born and adopted. We are doubly secure in Christ. Not only that but our sins are lifted off, taken from us and put far, far away. Now that makes us free. Freedom is now, not something I hope for. But how do I experience that freedom today? Earlier in 1 John we are called to confess each sin, then we must exercise our faith in the death of Jesus for each sin and see ourselves completely free from the sin confessed and exercise that freedom by choosing to love each other, not with words but in clear, practical acts of patience and kindness.Comments[0] |

Sun, 8 April 2007 Easter Sunday MessageHonan - On the basis of all the evidence for Christ's resurrection, and considering the fact that Jesus offers forgiveness of sin and an eternal relationship with God, who would be so foolhardy as to reject Him? Christ is alive! He is living today. You can trust God right now by faith through prayer. Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. If you have never trusted Christ, you can do so right now. The prayer I prayed is: "Lord
Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the
door of my life and trust You as my Savior. Thank You for forgiving my sins and
giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Thank You
that I can trust You." (From" Evidence that demands a verdict" by Josh McDowell Comments[0] |
Sun, 1 April 2007 ![]() Sunday Message April 1st John Honan Are you stuck in sin? Looking for a way out? First be willing to say that sin is sin and not make light of it. Agree with God that it needs to go. Confess it. Second, look at what God's basic commands are. 1 John 3:23 says "Believe in the name of Jesus Christ and love one another." Can you believe that Jesus will help you? You are commanded to believe that. Choose to believe in the power and ability of Jesus Christ to save you from sin now and forever. He has promised to provide a way of escape when you are tempted. 1 Corinthians 10. Ask God to show you the way of escape and take it. Third, choose to love the people God has put in your life. Your sin brings them down spiritually and in other ways you may not see right now. Repeat this process whenever you sin. Persevere in this and you will become a mature saint reflecting a conformity to Christ. Comments[0] |
Sun, 1 April 2007 Reflections in 1 Corinthians (A) The overriding principle of 1 Corinthians stands in this: Christ Jesus is Lord. Therefore, everyone who claims Jesus as Lord needs to live his/her life in keeping with what Christ wants. Jesus does not force his lordship, our submission is willingly given. But if we have chosen to give him lordship over our lives, then his call is that we live that way. The Lord Jesus calls men and women to live as Jesus himself lived: not for his own gain, but for the gain of others. So we love as he loved. posted by: Jon Paden Comments[1] |
