  • Authentic Christianity #5: If Anyone Loves the World

    This sermon explores the question of what we are truly devoted to, arguing that people are shaped by what they love most. Using 1 John 2:15–17, the message contrasts loving the temporary things of the world with loving God, emphasizing that worldly pursuits like pleasure, fame, and pride can never fully satisfy because they are finite and passing away. The sermon ultimately points to Jesus Christ as the only source of lasting fulfillment, teaching that true rest and purpose are found in devotion to the eternal God rather than the temporary things of this world.

  • Authentic Christianity #4: Knowing Christ

    In this message from 1 John 2:3–8, we explore how authentic Christianity is never meant to become dull or routine. Though God’s truth is ancient and unchanging, it becomes fresh and alive as we obey Christ and apply His love in everyday life. This sermon challenges us to rediscover the wonder of knowing Jesus, walking in obedience, and becoming more like Him through lives marked by love and selflessness.

  • Authentic Christianity #3: Self Deceived

    True freedom from guilt comes through confession and repentance, made possible by Jesus Christ, who paid the price for sin. God remains both just and merciful because Jesus took on the punishment we deserve. When we admit our guilt, Christ advocates for us and applies His atonement to our lives.

    The call to action is clear: stop hiding, start confessing, and trust that God will faithfully forgive and transform.

  • Authentic Christianity #1: Touching Eternity

    This sermon launches a series on authentic Christianity rooted in 1 John. The central question is: What does it mean to be a true, authentic Christian?

    The message confronts false ideas about Jesus, specifically the ancient Gnostic belief that denied Christ’s physical reality and used that distortion to excuse sinful living. In response, the Apostle John establishes a firsthand, eyewitness account of Jesus, someone who was seen, heard, and touched, not imagined or symbolic.

  • Are You Listening: #4 Quick to Listen

    James calls believers to be “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,” emphasizing that merely hearing God’s Word is not enough. Real spiritual growth happens when the Word becomes “implanted” in us through obedience and practice. Hearing without doing leads to self-deception and forgetfulness, like looking in a mirror and immediately forgetting what you saw. But those who listen carefully and put God’s truth into action experience freedom, transformation, and blessing.
