As we close out 2025, Pastor Paul Watson invites us to pause, reflect, and honestly examine our spiritual growth. While many areas of life have clear ways to measure progress, spiritual growth can feel harder to assess. In this message, we walk slowly through the opening chapters of 1 John to discover practical, biblical markers of a genuine and growing faith.

John doesn’t write to shame believers, but to help them know whether their faith is real—and to call them to respond if it isn’t. Living in the light means integrity between belief and behavior, confession instead of hiding, forgiveness instead of bitterness, and choosing Jesus as our highest priority. This message challenges us to finish the year with clarity, humility, and renewed commitment to follow Christ fully.
