The apostle John reminds us of the two things that we've been given, that if they will abide in us, will ensure that we abide in Christ.

**Due to technical difficulties (JB didn't change the battery) the teaching this week was cut short half-way through.**

To fight for real love and fellowship with God's people and with the Father and the Son (1 John 1:3) John points us to our doctrinal core; the incarnation. Anything opposed to this belief is a lie. So who is the liar and what is the lie?

With JB Van Hoogen.

This week's teaching is a little different. Our leaders attended a summit of church leaders last week and wanted to share some of what they took away from their time. Sydney shares briefly about the beauty of serving children, while JB and Leif spend time on the topic of friendship.

The Christian life is no walk in the park, and when you face discouragement, remember the foundations laid for you, and don't be allured by the world and its facades.

With JB Van Hoogen.

Guest teacher, Jeff Patterson, asks: What do we do when life turns out differently than we expected? Because if we are in Christ, it is guaranteed that life will turn out better than we could imagine.

Why and how is brotherly love so central to true Christian life?

With JB Van Hoogen.

How can we put our claim of fellowship with God to the test. John says that assurance of knowing God and abiding in Christ is found in obedience and imitation.

With JB Van Hoogen.

To "walk in the light" doesn't mean sinlessness. It means living in such a way that nothing is hidden. It is a call to live exposed before God and one another.

With JB Van Hoogen.

The Apostle John is out to correct some bad ideas and he starts by calling Christians back to the fundamentals of our faith. You can't skip these and have eternal life.

With JB Van Hoogen.

We cannot become like Christ, love like Christ, intercede like Christ, and reconcile like Christ, without the Spirit of Christ's presence and power.
