  • Love and Faith: Hold on to Your Faith
    2025/10/26
    1 John 5:1-21. Like the last few words of wisdom you might give in a conversation with someone you care about, John closes his letter with essentially one main point: Hold on to your faith. John explains how Christians can know they have eternal life. He then reminds us we need to believe in Jesus as he is revealed by God in Scripture. And finally, John writes some things about holding on to our faith with a surprising ending.

    1 John 4:1-21. John is writing to Christians who have seen several fall away, believing in false doctrines, and he writes to urge them to remember the gospel they first heard, to be faithful to God, and to remember his great love. John gives us a litmus test for your spiritual condition. He says if you say you love God, the true test of that is if you love others. Loving others shows that God’s love has changed you.

    1 John 3:11-24.

  • Love and Faith: Remember Who You Are
    2025/09/28
    1 John 2:18-3:10. We've all seen the TV shows where the main character develops amnesia after some trauma to the head and they can't remember who they are, their family, or what they're supposed to be doing. While it's a far-fetched depiction of amnesia, it raises a question for Christians. Is it possible for Christians to develop spiritual amnesia? In our passage today, we see that John wrote to these Christians to urge them to remember who they were in Christ and abide in him, not being deceived by false teachers.

  • Love and Faith: Keep His Word
    2025/09/21
    1 John 2:1-17. Think about what you do for someone close to you to express your love for them. It could be any number of things. Do certain chores around the house, take them out to eat, buy them something special. What is it you like for others to do for you to show their love for you? In his gospel, John recorded these words of Jesus in Jn. 14:15, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Jesus says to his disciples this is how you show me you love me. John also wrote about that in our text for this morning.

  • Love and Faith: Stay in His Light
    2025/09/14
    1 John 1:1-10. Love and faith are two things that are very important to many people. In our last days and moments, what will matter most to us is the people we love and our faith in God. There are a whole lot of people who claim to be Christians but walk in darkness. They do what they want to do, talk like the world, and you can’t tell by looking at their life or their social media that they’ve ever heard of Jesus. In other words, John is saying, you can say you’re a Christian all you want, but if you walk in darkness you’re lying and are not in fellowship with Christ and his church. Here’s the good news, the other side of the coin. If we choose to stay walking in the light, then we remain in fellowship with Christ and his church. It’s our choice. We have continued access to forgiveness of sins.

In this stand-alone sermon, we look at a basic way to explain the gospel to someone and look at how people in the Bible responded to the good news of Jesus when they believed in him.
