Christ at the Center of Confidence: 1 John 4:13-21

Christ at the Center of Confidence: 1 John 4:13-21

Our faith does not depend upon our love for God, but upon the real-world demonstration through the cross of His love for us. Mere belief in this knowledge is our entrance into the world of perfect love, where God’s love outlasts, outshines, and outlives our imperfections. It is His love for us which is the cause which results in our love for Him and for others. This is a sermon from Bread and Wine Fellowship by pastor Jim McNeely, given on August 17, 2014. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us. 1 John 4:16-19 http://thereforenow.com/dumpy/sermons/sermon_20140817.m4a [http://thereforenow.com/dumpy/sermons/sermon_20140817.m4a] The post Christ at the Center of Confidence: 1 John 4:13-21 [https://thereforenow.com/2014/08/5175/] appeared first on Therefore Now Ministries [https://thereforenow.com].

podcast 3: The power of confession and grace in community (1John 1)

Relationship and intimate community is impossible without the blood of Jesus at the center. Either judgment and lying and pretense govern our relationships, or grace rules our relationships. Jesus’ blood makes confession and truth possible, and opens the door to true fellowship.
