Welcome to Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute and Senior Pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago. Today we are going to be talking about the ultimate test in life. One where you don’t get a re-do or another shot. It’s about where you are going to spend eternity. If you are an authentic follower of Jesus there will be evidence in your life and in 1st John these are outlined... and Pastor Mark will help us understand how to have a rekindled love for Him and KNOW you are a child of God.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to Pastor Mark we’ll see that there are a lot of people out there who say they are a Christian, but in reality, they’re not. Maybe they were baptized as a baby, maybe somewhere on a document it says they are Protestant or Catholic. Maybe they were born into a Christian family... none of these things make you a Christian. We’re going to talk about that today and get you thinking about your life and if you really are a true believer... because if you are, there will be evidence to prove it. And John talks about that in 1st John chapter 5...let’s get started with today’s study.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s time for the weekly bible teaching program Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute and Senior Pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago.   It is our hope and prayer these many years, to help you take the next step in your walk with Jesus Christ.  How have we been doing that these last several weeks?  Well, our Contrast series is meant to help you live like Jesus Christ in a world that may not value that kind of lifestyle.  If you missed any part of this great series I encourage you to go to our website at moodpresents DOT o-r-g!.  For now we need to dig deeply into God’s word so that we can make sure that we stay away from false religions and false teachers, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us through His Word.  Let’s get started with our message where we pick up from last week.  Here’s Pastor Mark.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute and Senior Pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago. Have you noticed that everything that has value in life has a fake equivalent? Money, expensive jewelry, an ID... it’s the same in the spiritual realm as well.  Pastor Mark will share, right from scripture,  that we need to be on guard and develop a fine sense of discernment when it comes to identifying what is of the light and what comes from the darkness so we don’t get tripped up in our walk with God.  It involves testing, and you and I need to apply this truth to our lives.  Let’s get started now with, Testing the Spirit, part 1, a part of our Contrast series here on Moody Presents.  Here’s Pastor Mark.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute.  To help us finish part 2 of the Power of God’s Love message from our Contrast series we need to back up into last weeks message for some context on sin, our sinful practices, and the marvelous love of God to overcome that sin.  Let’s get started now as Pastor Mark helps us understand the sin nature.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. Well, there is nothing more transformative in a person’s life than when they realize and start living in the power of God’s Love.  We are deep into our Contrast series on how to live different from the world but to be ready and able to share the Love of Jesus Christ.  We are so thankful that you have joined us.  It is our prayer that this program is just one way in which you feast on God’s Word.  We are back in First John but now moving on to chapter 3 where the Apostle John speaks of love in a personal way in a way that should encourage us today to be ever growing and changing to be more like Jesus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to  Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute. Our teaching series called Contrast is meant for indepth study of the book of 1st John so that you and I know how to live differently than “the world.”  Today we tackle part 2 of our Anointed to Stand Firm message.  Let’s get started with a reminder from Pastor Mark that bad times will come into our life, but will we stand firm in Jesus Christ?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcoming you to another Moody Presents program and a "not so fun" question - remember those resolutions way back at the beginning of the year? Did you make any? Well, if you’ve eased off, you’re not the only one. According to statistics, on average, 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by the second week of February and here it is mid July! Good habits, especially ones drastically different from typical lifestyles are hard to get started and even harder to keep! Today, in our Contrast series, we’re  talking about standing firm today and not falling away... In our walk with God there are many who are inspired when they hear the Gospel and then make the commitment to follow God, but then persecution comes along and they fall away. 1st John addresses this... let’s get ready for the last days!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Living for things that matter.  Do you know what they are?  Well, I think we all need a refresher.  Welcome to Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute and Senior Pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago. Our series is called Contrast:  The light of Jesus Christ in a dark world.   If you feel that perhaps you’ve been sucked into the worlds “system” and losing a heart and love for God then I would like you to stay with us here for the entire program.  Let’s get right back to 1st John chapter 2, verses 12-15 for our study.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute and Senior Pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago. What a great set of messages so far, Pastor Mark has entitled this series Contrast.  It’s all about living in contrast to the World.  Do you need some “spiritual: tools to do that?  I know I do.  We need to go right to God’s Word to fill our tool belt with what is needed to live this kind of lifestyle, one that will lead others to Jesus Christ.  We are continuing in our study of 1st John and if you can have a Bible handy, I really encourage you to open it as Pastor Mark starts reading from 1st John 2:12-15.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute and Senior Pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago.  We’re thankful you joined us today for our continued series called Contrast.  According to Pastor Mark there should be a tangible difference in the way a follower of Christ acts toward others.  So we’ll pick up with part two of a message that began last week and then follow up with a test, a real test to see if you and I are walking in obedience to God.  Now don’t be discouraged, instead get ready to be encouraged!  Here’s Pastor Mark reading from 1st John Chapter 2 verse 1.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute and Founding Pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago. Today we continue in our Contrast series.  A study meant to help us live “in” the world,  but also “in sharp contrast” TO the world.  We are staying right in 1st John, Chapter 2 so that we can learn more about sin traps and testing.  By the end of this and next weeks message we’ll learn take three tests to see if we are really walking in fellowship with God.  Pastor Mark will also continue to help us understand that there is a difference between relationship and fellowship with God.  Let’s get started with today’s study here on Moody Presents.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 Today we pick up with part two of our brand new series called Contrast.  The reason for the title, you ask?  Because, to share Jesus Christ with a needy world, we need to live in sharp contrast to the way the “world” would have us live. Let’s back up into last weeks message to help drive home the importance of getting cleaned up for ministry.  One important aspect is fellowship, and according to Pastor Mark, that doesn’t just mean a potluck in the church basement.  Let’s move through first John Chapter 1 together!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Moody Presents with Pastor Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute.  Well, we have light... and dark. We have The Bears... and Packers. There are hotdogs with ketchup... and without.  Our world is full of contrasts.  You might find yourself in one of those categories you listed off, but someone else will be in a different category. The book of 1 John says that there are only two categories in the world. Those who walk in the light and those who walk in the dark. There is a big difference between them. We have the power to choose which of the two paths we are going to take.  A series to help us come clean!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
