Sermon on5/3/2026 by Pastor Todd Sapp

Is it possible to live with abundant, overflowing joy regardless of your circumstances?

In this opening message of our new series through the Letters of John, we dive into 1 John 1:1-4 to discover the foundation of true happiness. The Apostle John didn’t write these letters just so we could "get through" life; he wrote them so that our joy may be complete.

Drawing from his firsthand experience as an eyewitness to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, John combats the lies of his day with a powerful truth: Joy is not a theory—it is found in a person.

In this video, you will learn:

• The Foundation of Joy: Why knowing Jesus as a physical, historical reality changes everything.
• The Role of a Witness: How experiencing the Gospel firsthand qualifies you to proclaim it.
• The Power of Fellowship: Why we were created for deep connection with God the Father, His Son, and the Church.
• The "Small Jesus" Trap: How we often shrink Jesus down to fit our comfort zones and how to see Him in His completeness.
• Walking with Jesus: How Jesus’ humanity allows Him to relate to your loneliness, celebrations, and even your moments of being misunderstood.
