Jeff Hendrix on 1 John 3:11-24 . Series: 1 John—Life in God’s Love Jesus calls his disciples to live a life of love, and his death on the cross for us provides the highest example.

Conrad Henney on 1 John 3:4-10 . Series: 1 John—Life in God’s Love When we really have grasped the grace of God, it changes our lives.

As we make him our home, his transforming power makes us truly righteous. --- Tbilisi International Christian Fello...

Jeff Hendrix on 1 John 2:18-27 . Series: 1 John—Life in God’s Love In these last days, there are many antichrists in the world — everything outside and within our walls that distracts us from Christ.

Tony Hanmer on Genesis 2:15-3:24 . Series: Faith and Art Death. Rust. Decay. Entropy. Things are not as they should be in our world. And the longer we live, the more pain and frustration we will experience. As people of faith, we need to be honest about the suffering in our world—and look forward in hope to God’s deliverance of the whole creation into something unimaginably glorious. --- Tbilisi I...

Daniel Wilson on 1 John 2:12-17 . Series: 1 John—Life in God’s Love If only wordlinness was something ‘out there’ we could close the door and shut ourselves off from. But, according to the apostle John, worldliness is an attitude to which we’re all susceptible. It’s about our hearts and our cravings for pleasure, possession, and position. Worldliness offers everything we could dream of: except for...

Conrad Henney on 1 John 2:3-11 . Series: 1 John—Life in God’s Love According to an old tradition, when the elderly Apostle John was carried into the church of Ephesus, he would say nothing but, “Little children, love one another.” It bears repeating, because love is at the very centre of the Christian life. We’re all called to love God and each other with a persistent, devoted, open-hearted love....

Tony Hanmer on Genesis 1:1-2:3 . Series: Art and the Story of God Our world is an amazing place, and its beauty and wonder point us to God. He created everything, and in his delight declared it “very good”. As his image-bearers, we human beings have the privilege of being sub-creators. We take the stuff of creation and rework it to bring forth its latent possibilities. --- Tbilisi International Ch...

Eli Moyer on 1 John 1:5-2:2 . Series: 1 John—Life in God’s Love God wants all his children to live in the assurance of his love. But when we walk in the darkness and refuse to confess our sins, we’re cutting ourselves off from the life of God.

Jeff Hendrix on Exodus 14:1-14 . This second Sunday of Easter we find the Children of Israel trapped between mountains, the sea and the full force of Pharaoh’s army. There seems to be no way out and they take the only way out that they know: crying out to God and  blaming Moses. But what does it look like in the midst of hopelessness? What does it mean to remember that God is with us in the m...
