John urges us to love one another in the same way that Jesus loved us, the result of which will be assurance before God and the wonderful fruit of righteousness.

God has adopted us as His children who live confident in His love and who passionately pursue righteousness.

God gives us all we need to confidently embrace Jesus every day and resist the deception of other voices.

We are called to love God forever rather than pursue worldly desires, which are passing away.

Because of Christ’s sacrifice, love for one another defines authentic relationships in Christ’s Church. There was a very quick power outage around 12 minutes into this sermon.

The God of light calls you to walk in there light of His truth and His righteousness. Do you want to be truly known and fully cleansed?

John begins his first letter by testifying that God came in the flesh as Jesus Christ—which means you can enter into the joy of having fellowship with God.

In Christ, God offers us a hope so strong that our faith can endure the bitterest loss. NOTE: There were recording problems at the beginning of the message. Around 10 minutes into the sermon, the audio clears up considerably. We apologize for the inconvenience.
