This sermon confronts the tension between loving God and loving the world, unpacking 1 John 2:15–17 alongside John 3:16 to clarify what Scripture truly calls us to. It exposes three subtle traps, lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, showing how they pull us into moral compromise, comparison, and the need for validation. By redefining “glory” as what we give the most weight to, this message challenges us to identify modern idols and realign our hearts, choosing eternal purpose over temporary desires.

In this episode, we continue through 1 John and explore what it truly means to live as a child of God. Scripture makes it clear that our identity is not something we earn, it is something we receive through the finished work of Jesus.

We unpack the difference between justification, sanctification, and glorification, and why so many people confuse them. While salvation is a one-time act, growth is an ongoing process, and obedience becomes evidence of a transformed life.

This message also challenges us with a clear test. If we claim to walk in the light, it should show up in how we live and especially in how we forgive others.

This message from 1 John 2 focuses on identity, the finished work of Christ, and how believers live in response. While justification is a one-time act that secures our identity, sanctification is an ongoing process of growth. True faith is revealed not by perfection, but by obedience, transformation, and a willingness to forgive others.

In this episode, we continue through 1 John and wrestle with a tension every believer faces. If we claim to follow Jesus, what do we do with ongoing sin in our lives? Scripture is clear that denying sin is self-deception, but living in it without confession breaks fellowship with God.

We unpack the danger of self-righteousness, the necessity of confession, and the ongoing battle between the flesh and the Spirit. This conversation brings clarity to how believers live in the light, not by pretending to be perfect, but by walking in honesty, repentance, and dependence on Jesus.

This message from 1 John 1:8–10 explores how believers deal with sin after coming to faith. Scripture warns against self-righteousness and calls us to walk in honesty through confession. While the struggle with sin remains, God is faithful to forgive and cleanse, allowing us to live in ongoing fellowship with Him.

In this episode, we continue through 1 John and take a deeper look at what it means to have fellowship with God. Scripture says that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. That means His standard is perfection, and every one of us falls short.

There is a real gap between who we are and who God is, and no amount of human effort can close it. We unpack the reality of sin, why comparison fails, and how the truth of Jesus and His sacrifice is the only way that gap is bridged and true fellowship with God is restored.

This message from 1 John 1:5–7 explores what it truly means to have fellowship with God. Because God is perfectly holy and without darkness, real relationship with Him requires walking in the light and living in the truth. Through Jesus, our sin is cleansed and true fellowship is made possible.

In this episode, we kick off a new series in 1 John by talking about identity, truth, and the kind of joy only Christ can give. John writes to confront false teaching, but also to anchor believers in what is real, who Jesus truly is, and what it means to abide in Him. This conversation explores why joy is not found in circumstances, success, or self definition, but in a relationship with Jesus, obedience to His Word, and fellowship with His people.

This message launches a new series in 1 John by exploring the difference between temporary happiness and lasting joy. John points believers back to the real Christ, the truth of their identity in Him, and the fellowship that sustains faith. True joy is not found in circumstances, but in abiding in Jesus.

In this episode, we walk through the “Royal Theater” of Palm Sunday and the powerful contrast between two kingdoms. As Jesus enters Jerusalem as a humble King, the crowds cheer, but many misunderstand His mission. From political expectations to spiritual blindness, we explore what it means to truly recognize Jesus for who He is and how easily we can miss Him when He does not meet our expectations.
