After finishing our study through 1 John, we now move into the second of John’s short but powerful letters. This Wednesday night, Pastor Robert will begin walking us through the small book of 2 John in a message titled “Guarded Christianity.” Though only a few verses long, this letter carries an important warning and encouragement for believers. John calls the church to walk in truth and love, while also remaining guarded against false teaching that threatens the foundation of the gospel.

Join us as we continue exploring John’s letters together and learning how to faithfully guard the truth of Christ in our lives and in the church.

This Wednesday night we come to the final study in our journey through 1 John. Pastor Robert will be looking at 1 John 5:6–21, with a message titled: "The Certainties of the Christian Life" In a world filled with confusion, doubt, and instability, God has not left His children guessing. He has given us assurance. The apostle John closes his letter by reminding believers of what we can know with certainty. If you have ever wrestled with doubt, questioned your assurance, or needed renewed confidence in your faith, we encourage you to come as we conclude this series. 

In this message, the unconditional love of God is emphasized. Though Israel betrayed the Lord by worshiping other gods and acting wickedly in His sight, He promises redemption and restoration. Pastor Lloyd highlights the difficult road ahead for Israel because of their sin, as God gave them over to their consequences and allowed them to be captured by the Assyrians. Yet God never lets His love go. He remains faithful to an unfaithful people and promises to restore them.

This Wednesday night we begin the final chapter of 1 John, and Pastor Robert will look at 1 John 5:1-5 with a message titled “The Birthmarks of Authentic Christianity.” As we continue our study through this powerful letter, the apostle John brings us back to a simple but searching question: What does someone who is truly born of God look like? In a culture full of spiritual claims, 1 John 5:1-5 helps us see what authentic Christianity actually looks like. John shows us that authentic Christianity is not just something we claim, it is something that shows. Where there has been new birth, there will be evidence. It reassures true believers while helping us examine the reality of our faith.

In this inspiring message, Pastor Lloyd explores the depth of God’s mercy as revealed in Hosea 10. Despite the ways we wander and falter, God continually extends His gracious invitation to return, repent, and experience His restoration. It’s a powerful reminder that His patience and kindness meet us right where we are, offering hope, renewal, and the assurance that His love never fails.

Our culture talks a lot about love—but often defines it in man-centered ways, reshaping it to fit personal habits and sinful lifestyles. This week, Pastor Robert Baltodano will be in 1 John 4:7–21, and we’ll look at “When Love Starts with God,” where John takes us deeper—showing that true love isn’t something we invent or redefine, but something God reveals through Christ. Come be reminded of what love really is, where it comes from, and how it changes the way we live, relate, and even face fear.
