No Doubt About It: Confidence that Lasts Forever
To conclude our message series through 1 John, Troy reminds us of the fact that John wrote down what he did so that we who believe in Jesus can know we have eternal life. We have been born again and just as there is evidence of a physical birth, there is also evidence of a spiritual birth.

    Loving God through Simple Obedience
    For this week's message from our 1 John series, Bud discusses the fact that our love for people is demonstrated by our love for God and our obedience to His commands. Sometimes we're even convicted by Scripture to do something we really don't want to do, but God always blesses us when we decide to follow Him no matter what.

    To Love God is to Love People
    In this week's message from our 1 John series, Troy's shares John's focus in chapter 4, that we who are loved by God are to go and love others. Since we are so loved by God, we can share that love with other people. Specifically, we are to demonstrate an active goodwill, in which we make the decision to serve others and to work for their good, no matter what.

    Speaking for God Who Became Like Us
    In this week's message from our 1 John series, Troy reminds us that we are ambassadors and everything we say and do is important because of the King we represent, and that’s Jesus. Our lives need to demonstrate an authentic faith; when people look at us, they should say, “That life is different from the rest, and if that's what Christianity is, I want that!”

    Love is Life that Never Ends
    In this week's message from our 1 John series, Troy discusses what ultimately demonstrates that we belong to Jesus: We love God and we love people. Followers of Jesus are clearly identified not by their size, or shape, or color, but by the practice of genuine love. In some cases, this may involve “dying” for our brothers and sisters; more often, it’s probably “living” for them through serving.

    The Mirror of God: Coming into Focus
    Continuing in our series through 1 John, Troy explains how we “come into focus” the more we look into God's Word, and we see what needs to be fixed or changed in our lives. We also have the hope that we will be like Jesus when He returns. And when we’re motivated by that hope, we will work toward the purity that we see in Jesus Himself.

    Real Love is Meaning What You Say
    Continuing in our 1 John series, Troy shares what the Bible tells us, that if we say we know Jesus, but do not obey Him, we are liars and the truth is not in us. On the other hand, when we do obey Jesus, we can be sure that we know Him, and have fellowship with Him. It's not that the more we obey, the more God loves us; however, our love for God and our willingness to do what He asks of us go hand-in-hand.

    Proof of Light in the Darkness
    To kick off our new series through 1 John, Troy reminds us that we need to love other people who follow Jesus, but we also need to know that our love for one another is our best witness to people in the world. Troy also reassures us that there was proof that Jesus really became a man, because John and others experienced Him with their senses, including their sight, hearing, and touch. In addition, John shows us that God is light, not the light, or a light, but light itself.
