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.

It is our prayer that this program is just one way in which you feast on God’s Word.

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!

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.
