Forever Faith (I John 2:18-28)
Sunday, September 30, 2018
Is the person of Christ in the Bible true? Is He really the Son of God? There are things and people, that push us to doubt what we have been taught. Some of these are even within the church. We need to hold on to Christ as we know Him. His uniqueness is a well-grounded truth in which we can have confidence. [Note: recording has some distortion.]

Lasting Love (I John 2:15-17)
Sunday, September 23, 2018
There is something out there that wants to steal our hearts from God. In this passage, it is called 'the world.' It includes of what stirs up the lust, greed, and pride within us. These things all relate to our inclination to self-centeredness and they keep us from the love of God. But these attractions will end - and they will end badly.

Help in the Struggle (I John 2:12-14)
Sunday, September 16, 2018
Every Christian has times when they struggle with what they believe. We must remember that we are forgiven, that we have a relationship with God, and that we have strength in Christ. Keeping these things in mind help us get through the doubts and discouragements we face. Let yourself be encouraged!

True spirituality (I John 2:3-11)
Sunday, September 9, 2018
Belief must match reality or you are living in a delusion. Many people think that they are really spiritual Christians, but if you think that, your life must match Jesus' reality. You need to lead an exemplary moral, righteous life and an undeniable love for all believers.

Three Challenges to the Contemporary Church
Sunday, September 2, 2018
This message, based on a message by John Stott, is a slight detour from I John. The church today is under many attacks. Three of the most important challenges to it are pluralism, materialism, and moral relativism. If we truly love Jesus, then we will reject these and instead obey Jesus.
