John writes to Christians as a loving Father who desires the best for his children, and longs for us to experience the assurance of knowing we are God's children. John gives us two unique tests to apply to our life that we might have this assurance, and in the sermon, Pastor Josh unpacks them both and explains how Jesus being our advocate frees us to walk in this assurance and explains how it changes how we live and love. Although the Christian will never be perfect, we can and will experience progress in the Christian life as we look to Jesus and walk with the Father away from our sin. Download

But if there's no mechanism in the marriage to deal with the hurt and pain this causes, the marriage will not grow strong. Betrayal, broken trust, harsh words, broken agreements, disrespect, emotional abandonment, infidelity, jealousy, unmet expectations... the list is long of how we can wound our spouse. So what do we do when we've been hurt the deepest by the one we vowed to love the most? We engage in the most powerful act a marriage can experience... forgive. But when the pain is deep, this can feel impossible. Download

In this sermon, Pastor Josh explains the two simple yet foundational laws of marriage and their universal application to any marriage. Download
