My 7/12/15AM sermon, Law of Love from 1 John 2:7-11 is now online. The key to our being the loving people we’ve been commanded to be isn’t from digging deep, getting a positive vibe going or dialing in to the right mojo. The key is abiding in Jesus. This passage helps connect those who love with why they love: they know Jesus. I hope it helps you.
Keeping His Commandments
My 7/5/15AM sermon, Keeping His Commandments from 1 John 2:3-6, is now online. Whether it’s thinking that our good deeds can get us heaven or thinking that if we obey God will love us more, we’re in desperate need of what God thinks about obedience and a relationship with Him. I tease out these things in this sermon and hope it proves helpful to you.
An Advocate
My 6/28/15AM sermon, An Advocate from 1 John 2:1-2, is now online. I can’t think of better news in a day when sin doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal and then people in the church think the world’s sin is a bigger deal than their own than to point to our one and only Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, The Righteous. I hope this sermon encourages you as you walk in this world.
Weekend Recap – Admitting Sin
My 6/21/15AM sermon, Careful Confession from 1 John 1:8-10, is now online. This sermon is the third in our series on 1 John, teasing out some implications of what it means to be believers. I hope it helps you have assurance in your relationship with God.
Walking In The Light
My 6/14/15 sermon, Walking in the Light from 1 John 1:5-7, is now online. The sermon helped show what it means that God is Light and from there, pointed to how we respond, either with saying something more than is true or actually living accordingly. I’m hoping it serves you well. If you’d like Small Group Questions to go along with it, they are available too.
Meet Jesus
My 6/7/15AM Sermon, Meet Jesus from 1 John 1:1-4, is now online. On top of serving as an introduction to the series as a whole, this sermon helped move us to know that we have eternal life by showing how the message about Jesus leads to fellowship and joy. I hope you’ll listen and I hope it’s helpful.
