The Living Truth Fellowship

You are the only you God has. The most distinguishing feature about you is your FACE. Your eyes are “the window of your soul,” beholding the beauty of creation. Your nose enjoys delectable aromas, from frankincense to garlic. Your ears hear the music of life. Your mouth can speak words of love and life. It also tastes the joys of good food! People recognize you by your face. But what about God? Do...

This is what John Lynn shared at the first-ever face-to-face TLTF Elders gathering, and we thought that anyone interested should also have the opportunity to hear it. His exposition of Philippians 1:1-2:16 and 3:7-14 is jam-packed with meaty biblical truth as he elucidates many nuances of the Greek words behind the English we read. Paul’s epistle to the Philippians corrects the practical failure o...

As Christians, what exactly is our Job Description? Is it to do the work of the “Kingdom”? Is it to participate in a huge “End Times” revival? Is it to expect the wealth of the world to come into the hands of Christians? Is it to look for signs preceding the Lord’s coming for us? Is it to spend 20 hours a day on the Internet immersing ourselves in how Satan is at work on many fronts, such as the I...

How many suffering human beings have agonizingly cried out: “Why doesn’t God do something?” BILLIONS! Good news—He has! J-E-S-U-S. It is Jesus, the “image of God,” who vividly portrays the heart, nature, character, and love of the invisible God. One thing Jesus did for many people was end their sickness, suffering, and death, although, as with Lazarus, it was only temporary. One day there will be...

As the Head of the Body, the Lord Jesus Christ has a unique and very personal curriculum of spiritual growth designed just for YOU. The Son of God, our Brother, is most able to instruct us, given that he is the only human being who ever got “Straight A’s” in the School of Hard Knocks. Sad to say, the prevailing doctrine among Christians is that God tests us via sickness, tragedy, suffering, etc. G...

This teaching explores what is probably the biggest misconception about God in the world today, which is at the root of all human sin. There is much talk today about “the will of God,” and the prevailing theological ideas go something like the following: Everything that happens is God’s will. God is somehow in control. Nothing happens that He does not cause or allow, and of course He knows ahead o...

  John Lynn first did this teaching in 1990, and it was the most popular cassette tape in the bookstore for a long time. He is now reprising it as the June WWF and also making it part of the upcoming video, Jesus Christ: The Diameter of the Ages. Focusing on Peter’s relationship with Jesus, this teaching is both hilarious and heartwarming. Experiencing the LORDship of Jesus Christ is the key to ma...

  The subtitles for this teaching are Peace In Earth (that earth would be you) and Sleeping Through The Storm and “Oh, well…” or “Oh, hell!” You do not need to hear this teaching unless you are a human Christian living on the earth. If you do fall into this category, you can’t afford to miss it. John Lynn is doing this teaching primarily because he needs to hear it. This most practical exposition...

Please join us on this April Fool’s Day, a significant 28th anniversary for John Lynn, who will first share a few minutes about his life, which he never expected to be one of Christian service. The bulk of this dynamic teaching is about Christian leadership, both good and bad, and how it relates to you. Christianity is a “team sport.” If you are committed to the Lord Jesus and the cause of spreadi...

  The subtitle for this teaching is: Going, Going, Gone! It is appropriate that it takes place on the only day of the year that is a command: “MARCH FORTH!” The title comes from the record in Luke 17 when Jesus ministered to ten lepers, and “as they went, they were healed.” This teaching is about being DOERS of the Word and not hearers only. It is about acting on the Word—in football, running the...

We are still in the beginning of a new year, and such notable progressions of time should give us pause to “examine ourselves” as per 2 Corinthians 13:5. YOU are the ONLY YOU God has. Satan knows who you are IN CHRIST, and relentlessly tries to minimize your vision of your life. Conversely, the Lord Jesus has a personal curriculum of growth for you, and all he needs is for you to give him your who...

Biblically speaking, the overarching entity of TIME is chronos, while the moments that make it up are kairos (“the right measure and relation, especially concerning time and place”). 2015 will be The Time (kairos) of Your Life (chronos). Each kairos moment represents a “Photo Op!” that is, an opportunity for you to say or do something that will show up in The Book of Your Life when the Lord appear...

You may never have heard “the Christmas story” set forth like John will do it in this exciting exposition of the birth of Christ, one of The Top Five events thus far in His-story. Do you have a child? If so, you can certainly remember when you found out you were going to be a dad. Then you had nine months of anticipation and preparation. The closer the time came, the more excited you were. Finally...

From the title of this teaching, you no doubt recognized those three words as the “motto,” if you will, of the only human being who ever walked with God in perfect obedience—in thought, word, and deed. Jesus said it about 30 times. Why was he a fanatic about “every jot and tittle” in the Word of God? Because he knew that the second we deviate from using the words God uses the way He uses them, we...

Don’t miss this very practical presentation, which could be sub-titled, Daily Opportunities to Shine or Not-so-Secret Agents for the Lord. In it John exposits many scintillating scriptures. Jesus said that his followers were to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” He said that the key to manifesting his life in the world is to “abide in him.” As the means by which he is diversi...

Does the Bible say that women should keep silent in the Church? Ha! Ha! Ha! Are you serious? Have you ever tried to keep a woman quiet? Don’t you think God knows that is impossible? Just kidding, ladies. The truth is that Jesus Christ was the greatest emancipator of women who has ever lived, and that the apostle Paul followed in his footsteps. Both of them had to buck the cultural system that had...

“Thank GOD!” Perhaps you have exulted that oft-used exclamation in a moment of ecstasy about something that happened to you—or didn’t happen. When you did, weren’t you rather consumed by a good feeling? And at that moment you were not thinking about whatever problems are in your life, were you? Giving thanks to God and the Lord Jesus focuses you on them: their greatness, goodness, what they’ve alr...

Does the Bible say that God has “absolute” foreknowledge? Is the future fixed? Is everything going to happen just as God already sees it, or do we actually have freedom to choose for ourselves what we will think, say, and do, and thus play a vital role in determining the future? Can we as human beings limit God Almighty, or is He in control? How does speaking in tongues perfectly illustrate the re...

  What??? If that title seems self-contradictory, join us Wednesday evening and find out what it means. If we as Christians are to best serve others, we must first “take heed unto ourselves,” that is, honestly take stock of our own spirituality. As the Head of the Body, our Lord Jesus has a very personal learning curriculum for each member in particular. He is constantly trying to draw us closer t...

Subtitle: The Magnitude of Being IN CHRIST The relationship between God Almighty and His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, is absolutely vital to understand, and that is why for 2K years Satan has made it his #1 doctrinal target to distort and obscure. The Devil knows that if we correctly understand who God is and who His Son is, and how they love one another and relate to one another, it will enha...

Statement of Mankind's Biggest Problem: DEATH. Solution: LIFE. Life begins with BIRTH. Birth begins with SEED. Jesus Christ is the Promised Seed. He is The Friend who came to deliver us from our mortal Enemy, DEATH. By his free will choice to trust His Father all the way to the Cross, Jesus made it possible for God to raise him from the dead. Thus he became the first (and last—so far—there will be...

The sub-title for this powerful and practical teaching is, "Whoa is Me!" If you plan to hear it, fasten your seat belt, because it may be a rough ride. We'll be going into the blackened hills of the human heart, which, in its old nature, is "deceitful above all things." Not to worry, however, because our Guide and Trail Boss is none other than the Savior from sin, Jesus Christ. Statement of proble...

The title of this teaching is probably decoupaged or needlepointed on the wall of many homes, and for good reason. It is what our Lord Jesus Christ showed us by his sterling example of self-sacrifice. This teaching could be sub-titled The Power of Love, because godly love is the greatest force there is to bring to pass the will of God on earth. We focus on the Greek word agape and center this teac...

Paul’s priceless epistles to Christians in the ancient world were often born out of his having visited their city and spent time pouring out his life to them. As such, there is a rich connection between the historical account of his previous visit and the letter he wrote by revelation. Such is the case with the Acts 16 record of his first visit to Philippi and the epistle he later wrote to them. I...

The One True God is the God of PROMISE, and His Word is filled with "exceeding great and precious promises." Jesus Christ is God's greatest promise, and he alone would determine whether any of God's other promises to Israel would come true. The future fulfillment of all those promises of God in the Hebrew Scriptures was riding upon the Son of Man's free will obedience to the blueprint for his life...
