  • Have No Fear—Perfect, Fearless Love Is Here | 1 John 4:17-19

    Have No Fear—Perfect, Fearless Love Is Here | 1 John 4:17-19
    Sep 28 2025

    Lord's Day: September 28, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: First John Topic: Love Scripture: 1 John 4:14–19; Ecclesiastes 12:13; Hebrews 4:14–16; 1 Corinthians 2:16; Philippians 2:5–11; Romans 11:22; Ephesians 2:3–9; 1:4–6; Romans 5:6–11; 2 Peter 3:16; 1 John 2:1–2; Titus 3:4–7; Romans 8:29–30

    I. We have more departed brothers who, being united to Christ, are now confident and without fear in the next world

    • Death of Voddie Baucham, please pray for his wife and large family, 9 kids, personal inspiration for us to live up to
    • Llisten to his preaching, teaching, and read his books
    • God has not abandoned us, nor His church. He will continue to raise up godly men for such a time as this, who may not be as famous, but nevertheless faithful, uncompromising brothers, and God’s people can still continue to be edified by the contributions of the faithful men that have recently departed

    II. There is no fear in love…

    • Fear as in “afraid of” or fear as in “awe, reverence, worship”? φόβος phobos
    • God reassures us by telling us not only that perfect love has no fear, but that “perfect love casts out fear”—expels fear

    III. How then does perfect love cast out fear? What is this perfect love?

    • Our perfect love ultimately refers to—and points back to—God’s own perfect, redemptive love for us—the gospel
    • God’s love gives us confidence to live without fear, to have the same mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16) that the Song of Christ (Carmen Christi) reveals to us
    • God is always good, always, without fail and without exception, both in His kindness and in His severity, holiness, justice, judgment (Rom. 11:22)

    IV. All of this and more is why the God-breathed apostle continues to reveal to us in verse 19…

    • We ourselves love God and our fellow man, because He Himself first loved us

    V. This is one of the most emphatic doctrines in all of Scripture—the gospel of what God’s love has done for us.

    • One of the most obvious examples that “are so clearly set forth and explained in one place of Scripture or another” (2LBCF 1:7), of why we no longer have a fearful expectation of God’s judgment, of why we have a perfect love that casts out all fear, is because of God’s own perfect, omnipotent, sovereign, sufficient, sacrificial love for us, His Redemptive, Restorative, Regenerative, Reformative Love
    • Do you see this? Do you believe this? Do you have this perfect, mature, fearless love, that does not fear God’s judgment, but instead looks forward to it? Eagerly anticipates it?

    What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
    leaning on the everlasting arms?
    I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
    leaning on the everlasting arms.
    safe and secure from all alarms

  • Confident in the Day of Judgment | 1 John 4:17-18

    Confident in the Day of Judgment | 1 John 4:17-18
    Sep 21 2025
    Lord's Day: September 21, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: First John Topic: End Times Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:7; Psalm 86:15; James 1:19–21; Matthew 20:16; Acts 20:27; Matthew 28:20; 5:13–16; Ephesians 5:11; 1 John 4:17–18; 1 Corinthians 2:16; 1 John 3:1–3 17By this, love has been perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because as He is, so also are we in this world. 18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. 1 John 4:17–18 Some Christians and pastors started complaining that if your pastor does not address Charlie Kirk’s assassination, you should leave the church I. There is wisdom in taking time, to reflect and pray and mourn in silence, especially before making drastic public statements or decisions We are called to a higher standard, to the upside-down kingdom, where the first will be last, and the last will be first (Matt. 20:16), where our weakness is perfected in God’s strength, to the theology of the cross, the cross-oriented lifeIt is important for elders and pastors to address issues like these in a timely and responsible manner, but there are more biblical reasons for considering when to leave a churchMany churches are reluctant to speak out on current and political issues, even the ones that affect Christians and the churchThat is one of the reasons why we are a free, unincorporated church, because the church needs to be a prophetic voice, like John the Baptist was, in the culture and in society, we are called to be salt and light (Matt. 5:13-16) II. Confident in the Day of Judgment 1 John 4:17 is a long chain of clauses, refers to the doctrines of Assurance, Sanctification, Glorification and our final state, Day of Judgment III. By this, love has been perfected with us… By virtue of the sanctifying, mutually abiding, loving fellowship of God and His beloved, by which our minds are married to God’s mind, in a marriage of minds, so that we have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16)—“By this,” God’s love has been perfected [τετελείωται teteleiōtai] with us [toward us] already1 John 3:1–3 IV. Without fear of what? A good grasp of the law and gospel distinction corrects imbalanced zeal and legalistic imbalances, and strengthens our assurance and peace of mindBaptist Larger Catechism, Q.82: What shall believers receive at the Day of Judgment?A: At the Day of Judgment, believers will be caught up with Christ in the clouds1 and placed on His right hand, where they will be publicly acknowledged and acquitted.2 They will join Christ in the judgment of reprobate angels and men,3 and be received into heaven.4 There they will be completely and forever freed from all sin and misery,5 filled with unimaginable joy,6 and made perfectly holy and happy both in body and soul, in the vast company of each other and the holy angels.7 They will be particularly blessed in the visual presence and enjoyment of God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, forever.8 1. 1 Thessalonians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 15:42-43 2. Matthew 25:33; Matthew 10:32 3. 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 4. Matthew 25:34-46 5. Ephesians 5:27; Revelation 14:13 6. Psalm 16:11 7. Hebrews 12:22-23 8. 1 John 3:2; Romans 8:29; 1 Corinthians 13:12; 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18Know Your Enemy: The Devil’s End | Revelation 20 The night is dark but I am not forsaken / For by my side, the Saviour He will stayI labour on in weakness and rejoicing / For in my need, His power is displayed To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me / Through the deepest valley He will leadOh the night has been won, and I shall overcome / Yet not I, but through Christ in me No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven / The future sure, the price it has been paidFor Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon / And He was raised to overthrow the grave Join us on Sundays for worship at 10:00am: ThornCrown Covenant Baptist Church4712 Montana AveEl Paso, Texas 79903 Contact us at: web: ThornCrownCovenant.Churchcall/text: (915) 843-8088email: ThornCrownCovenantBChurch@gmail.com Scripture quotations taken from the (LSB®) Legacy Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2021 by The Lockman Foundation.

  • Consider the Kindness & Severity of God | Ecc. 3:1-8, Rom. 11:22

    Consider the Kindness & Severity of God | Ecc. 3:1-8, Rom. 11:22
    Sep 14 2025
    Lord's Day: September 14, 2025 Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: Current Issues Topic: Law & Gospel Distinction Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1–8; Romans 11:22; 1 John 5:19; Psalm 12:8; 1 John 4:17; Psalm 86:15; Romans 4:6–8; Numbers 14:18; Romans 12:17–21; Isaiah 5:20–23; Romans 1:28–32; 8:28; Matthew 27:46; Luke 23:46; Philippians 2:8–9; Ephesians 5:15–17 Charlie Kirk was murdered while doing what he did best, reaching out to the youth in college campuses He could have been our future president, yet many were celebrating and mocking his murder on social media Iryna Zarutska was viciously murdered on a train by a violent repeat offenderA 16-year-old fired several rounds and almost killed two of his fellow students at Evergreen High School in Colorado, before fatally shooting himselfAll of these victims were very young—This is a time for weeping and mourning Our prayers go out to the friends and families of the victims: May God give them comfort and solace, and draw nigh to them with the light of His salvation May He bring healing, and restore justice, repentance, and revival to our land May He bring the wicked to justice And may He also convict them of their sin and grant them repentance I. This is a sample of the evil being done all over this world, this wicked world that lies under the power of the evil one Even as “the wicked strut about on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men” (Psalm 12:8 LSB)—God is still sovereign, God is still in control, and God’s will is still being donePart of the reason there is much evil in the world is because God is longsuffering, God suffers long, God is patientHis divine patience is revealed in His enduring mercy and love for sinners, and in His delay in exacting judgment, in part to enable wretched sinners like us to repent and be saved. II. Behold both the kindness and severity of God: Our great God and merciful Savior is also a just Judge God alone has a monopoly on vengeance (Rom. 12:17-21)God gives many sobering, dire warnings to the wicked, not just to the ones who murder, but also to the ones who celebrate wickedness (Isa. 5:20-23) III. Wickedness and violence is neither random nor senseless Know Your Enemy: The Devil | 1 John 2:14-17God ultimately designed and decreed a good purpose for us in everything that happens, no matter how bad (Rom. 8:28)We should seek justice, God’s justice, not our own; God’s way, not our own; and by God’s means rather than our own Matt Trewhella's The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate The Theology of the Cross (lowliness, suffering, humility) teaches us that God is often most present where He seems most absent.Ephesians 5:15–17: “Therefore look carefully how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. On account of this, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Join us on Sundays for worship at 10:00am: ThornCrown Covenant Baptist Church4712 Montana AveEl Paso, Texas 79903 Contact us at: web: ThornCrownCovenant.Churchcall/text: (915) 843-8088email: ThornCrownCovenantBChurch@gmail.com Scripture quotations taken from the (LSB®) Legacy Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2021 by The Lockman Foundation.
