The First Epistle of John 1 John 3 SCRIPTURE TEXT: 1 John 3:1-24 ​The Apostle John was present during the famous “Last Supper” to hear Jesus declare: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.” No wonder love forms such a centerpiece of John’s theology. Assoc. Pastor Henjie Pimenta takes us through 1 John 3, in which John articulates this essential community command to Love One Another in great detail, for “this is the message you heard from the beginning” (1 John 3:11). John expresses this message actively as rejecting sin, exhibiting love, and persevering with confident faith. Preacher: Assoc.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 1 John 2: 1-29 Christ Our Advocate 2 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. The New Commandment 7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. 8 At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because[a] the darkness is passing away

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 1 John 1:1-10 With this message, we begin a new sermon series studying together the first epistle of John to the Early Church, progressing through one chapter per week. This inspired letter gives lessons on how to LIVE IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S LOVE. John wrote to believers living through a time of persecution, confusion, and growing division even among Christians about the essentials of the faith and the falsities of heresy. This series offers sermon outlines prepared by Pastor Court and presented by various associate pastors of PCF-LA. Pastora Venida Antonio leads our examination of the first chapter of 1 John and its admonition to Walk in the Light according to God’s Word of life, light of love, & clear truth within, a pathway for partnership in the Body, fellowship in the Spirit, & perseverance in the faith. *For those participating online: prepare your supplies to join us in Communion.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Psalm 41:1-17 In this concluding message of our “PSALMS OF PERSEVERANCE” sermon series, Pastor Court looks at Psalm 41 and one of the most challenging experiences of life: major illness. In this psalm of David, the situation includes the further aggravation of enemies who malign and, even worse, a friend who betrays. Yet through it all, the overarching assurance of the psalmist is once again that God’s faithfulness invites & undergirds our perseverance, confident that the Lord will sustain His own people from everlasting to everlasting.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Psalm 40:1-17 Psalm 40, yet another Psalm of David in our “PSALMS OF PERSEVERANCE” sermon series, affirms the Father’s faithfulness to His people to see them through times of trouble & trial. Here the psalmist affirms, “I waited patiently for the LORD &... He heard my cry” (v1). The psalmist notably describes real praise for their delivering God as including effusive worship, effective witness, and earnest walking in obedience to God’s ways. In times in which we may feel “mired in the mud” (v2), an effective response is to praise the Lord who always hears our cry & will answer our need in His righteousness.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Psalm 32:1-11 As we continue our series on PSALMS OF PERSEVERANCE, we come to Psalm 32, a psalm of David that confronts the problem of silence about sin. But the alternative (making a clean breast of things through clear confession) brings both the comfort of Christ and the clarity of God’s holy counsel into our lives. Through our confession, God thus equips us all the more to persevere in purity even as He delivers us out of the folly of stubbornly sustaining our sin. *For those participating online: prepare your supplies to join us in Communion.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Psalm 4:1-8 ​We begin our new sermon series on “PSALMS OF PERSEVERANCE” with an examination of Psalm 4 and its prayer of trust in God at all times. This psalm of David carries the king’s character of persevering in prayer through all times of trial & troubles, offering assurance that the Lord hears our cries to Him. As we pray this poem of trust, we’re reminded that God alone brings true peace to His people.

Si Eliseo at ang Sunamita 8 Minsan, si Eliseo'y pumunta sa Sunem. May isang mayamang babae roon at siya'y inanyayahang kumain sa kanila. Mula noon, doon siya kumakain tuwing pupunta sa lugar na iyon. 9 Sinabi ng babae sa kanyang asawa, “Natitiyak kong isang banal na lingkod ng Diyos ang taong ito. 10 Bakit di natin siya ipagpagawa ng isang silid para matuluyan niya tuwing pupunta rito? Bigyan natin siya ng higaan, mesa, upuan at ilawan.” 11 Isang araw, bumalik nga roon si Eliseo at doon siya nagpahinga sa silid na inihanda para sa kanya. 12 Tinawag niya ang katulong niyang si Gehazi at sinabi, “Tawagin mo ang babaing Sunamita.” Tinawag nga nito ang babae at di nagtagal ay dumating ang babae. 13 Sinabi niya sa kanyang katulong, “Sabihin mong pinasasalamatan natin ang pagpapagawa niya ng tuluyan nating ito. Itanong mo kung ano ang maitutulong natin sa kanya bilang ganti sa kaabalahan niya sa atin. Baka may gusto siyang ipasabi sa hari o sa pinuno ng hukbo.” “Wala kayong dapat alalahanin. Nasisiyahan n

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:1-17 In Part Three of our series on II Timothy, we hear the Apostle Paul's warning that "everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Tim 3:12). In order in order to Persevere Like Paul, we will need to "Withstand the Wicked" while we hold tightly to the truth of God.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 2 Timothy 1:1-18 Beginning our sermon series on the book of Second Timothy, we find the Apostle Paul imprisoned in Rome and advising his protégé Timothy, now pastoring the church in Ephesus founded by Paul, how to hold strong to the faith & continue to proclaim the gospel truth despite the growing influence of heretical teachers threatening to take root in the church. In what is likely Paul's final Biblical letter prior to his martyrdom, he provides an effective treatise on how we as believers facing challenging times in the "latter days" can also Persevere Like Paul, holding firm to God's word & relying on God's Spirit as we face any obstacles to our faith, in order to overcome in Christ.

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Luke 1:76-79; Matthew 28:1-8; Hebrews 7:15-25 Every Easter we celebrate again Jesus' Resurrection from the grave by "the power of an indestructible life" (Hebrews 7:16). In our Resurrection Sunday message for 2023 & the Year of Perservance, Pastor Court concludes his Passion Week Sermon Series on "Passionate Perseverance" with a focus on the persevering power of resurrection. The 1964 song "Feeling Good" famously includes a chorus proclaiming, "It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life, and I'm feeling good." Though not written with this focus, few words could more succintly describe our joy on Easter morning, when "the light of the Dayspring from on high [shines] on those living in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace" (Luke 1:79) -- for our Jesus "is able to save forever those who come to...Him, because He lives forever to intercede for them" (Hebrews 7:25).
