This morning we are in the fourth chapter of 1 John. John writes that the apostolic testimony concerning Jesus as “God in flesh” and “the Lamb who takes away our sins” is foundational to our faith. Any “prophet” or “teacher” who declares something other than that is not a vessel of God’s Spirit. On top of that, the true prophet will proclaim that GOD IS LOVE and that it is essential for Christians to love one another. God’s love is the fountainhead of our love for one another. We are brought into the love of God through because of the Son and by the Spirit. The Eternal God—Father, Son, Spirit—is the Eternal mystery of Trinitarian Love through whom we live our lives. Join us!

The only Old Testament story that John refers to in 1 John is the story of Cain and Abel. The story of the first family disfunction. The story of hatred that climaxes in murder. Family life can be difficult. John knew that first hand in the relationships between the early Jews and Christians. But John teaches us that the only way forward for the Christian is the way of LOVE. If Cainites are known for their hate, Christians are known for their love. And love can triumph over hate and bring the family back in order. Join us!

Do you realize *who* you are? Have you conception that you are a child of the King of kings? A child of God Almighty (3:1)! Do you know what you are destined for? A world of glory beyond our imagination awaits the child of God (3:2). We go from glory to glory. Christ has accomplished this through His sacrifice for sin (3:5) and defeat of Satan (3:8). Because this is true we are called to purify ourselves and walk in righteousness and love (3:3, 3:6). The seed of God will grow you into grace and holiness (3:9). You are more valuable and important than you’ve ever dared imagine! Join us as we journey through the first half of 1 John 3!

Join us as we begin our series on the book of 1 John! This morning we will be looking at Jesus’ choice of John the son of Zebedee to be one of the pillars of His church and main chroniclers of apostolic testimony. John has a thunderous personality and he passionately desires to see the church walk in truth and love. He calls us to see the fullness of life in Jesus Christ. John begins his first epistle by inviting us into the apostolic fellowship so that by extension we will enter into fellowship with the Father and Son with the result of possessing a fullness of joy!

This morning we will be looking at John’s account of the resurrection. Here we see very clearly that Jesus’ resurrection is not just about the construction of Christ’s renewed individual body, but also the construction of His mystical body—the church, YOU and ME. New life is first experienced at the garden tomb. It is there the resurrected Christ, mistaken as a Gardener, began building His Bride. And He has never stopped! Join us!

Join us as we look at what the bible has to say about SINGLENESS. Too often those who are unmarried within the church are viewed with suspicion. But Jesus and Paul show us a better way forward. They elevate those who are unmarried and speak highly of them, as they themselves were unmarried. The church collectively needs to view those who are single as people who are given an important gift in the church—whether a gift for a season or for a lifetime. We should not be afraid of embracing the single state and using it as a time to mature and be gifts in important ways to the world around us. God has His eye and approval on those who are single.
