A message from the series “Walking Through The Storm – 1 John.” Often we are surprised in life by particular situations when in fact, we really shouldn’t be surprised at all. In some areas of life, it may not make a difference. However, when it comes to following Christ, God’s Word is very clear that we should not be surprised when we are hated by the world. So how are we required to respond? How should we, as the body of Christ, show others the love of Christ? As we continue in our current sermon series with the book of 1 John, God teaches us how we are to respond when the world around us hates us for following Christ. Our response may not look like the world expects and it may not be popular but our obedience to Christ is what matters and is what will put God’s love on display for others to see.

A message from the series “Walking Through The Storm – 1 John.” Has there ever been a time in your life when you thought something was going to go one away and then it took a turn in a another direction? Or maybe you thought you were going to have one conversation with someone and it turned into a different conversation altogether? This happens in life with practical situations but it also happens in the life of a believer when it comes to sin. We don’t want to face it or be confronted with it but we must as followers of Christ. This week, in our 1 John Series, there are two important areas that must be addressed when it comes to sin in our own lives and sin in the lives of those around us.

A message from the series “Walking Through The Storm – 1 John.” “You are what you eat.” We’ve often heard that as a reminder that what we consume determines who we are and how we interact with the world around us. How we fuel ourselves, determines the challenges we are able to face. In our Christian journey, challenges abound. We’re often pushed up against circumstances that push us to our breaking point. In those moments, what is inside of us will determine how we handle these moments. John reminds us that as Christ followers, we must abide in Christ. However, today we’ll consider God’s promise that as we abide in Him, He abides in us. And as He does, we are able to rise to the challenges around us.

A message from the series “Walking Through The Storm – 1 John.” There seems to be two camps of people in this world — rule followers and rule breakers. Some want to walk the line to a tee while others might tend to see how far they can bend that line. As followers of Christ, we are aware that there are commands to be followed in God’s Word. Also as followers of Christ, we know there are times when we break those commands and don’t always “follow the rules”. So how does God handle this with us? How do we approach Him when we have failed to follow his commands and sinned against Him? In the book of 1 John, God clearly speaks to us and instructs us in how we are to approach Him when it comes to the sin in our lives. We all break the rules, but we have a Father who makes a way for us to be forgiven and shows us how to walk out a life confidently in Him.

A message from the series “Walking Through The Storm – 1 John.” In the book of 1 John, John is clearly communicating important information to the believers. In this week’s sermon, God’s Word shows us two crucial points when it comes to eternal life. These points matter in our walk as believers and steer us in the direction of how to walk out our daily Christian lives with those around us.

After you have listened to this week’s sermon, continue the conversation by discussing the following questions with fellow believers:

What would the life of a person who knows they have eternal life look like?
Is there any place in your life you need to change to live more like that?
