Our guest speaker Sam Helgerson spoke today about 1 John 5:11-13. This is one of the great “Assurance of Salvation” passages.

Christians are called to give generously, cheerfully, and for the Glory of God.

Christians are called to give generously, cheerfully, and for the Glory of God.

We serve a generous God who calls His people to follow His example by leading the way in spreading generosity.

"What does a person look like who has truly met God? He walks with a limp." This message will challenge believers to do a spiritual check-up, assessing how God has changed our lives.

Our past failures do not destroy God's promises.

God always keeps his promises, He knows our needs before we even ask, and He is determined to save sinners.

The beginning of Joseph's life teaches us that God gives us good gifts. We can use these gifts for self-service or sacrificial service to God and others. God will always provide us with a way to escape temptation. The life of Joseph ultimately points us to Jesus.

Sibling rivalry is a theme throughout Genesis. Ishmael persecuted Isaac, Jacob left home so Esau couldn't kill him, Joseph's brothers intended to kill him but decided to sell him as a slave, and Cain murdered his brother Abel. When sin entered the human race, it gave us dysfunctional and fractured families. Only God can put dysfunctional families back together.

Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
