×Catch the message Proof Of Life: False Prophets by Pastor Ben Stapley. Some lies and theological errors are hard to spot. But the ultimate litmus test of the true gospel is the incarnation—that God became human in the person of Jesus. The Eternal Son becoming human, dying, and rising from the dead is essential to an accurate understating of the gospel. We’re called to be discerning around this theme and hold to the truth of the gospel so that we overcome evil and lead others to find life.…
Catch the message Proof Of Life: More Than A Feeling by Pastor Luke Mihail We’re asked for our PIN to verify our identity. As followers of Jesus, we’ve been given a common PIN: L-O-V-E. It’s how we show proof of life. In this passage, we see a clear contrast between the envy, jealousy, and hatred that consumed Cain and the love that moved Jesus to die on the cross. We’re called to love our brothers and sisters like that, not just with words but with actions. As we live lives of love, the Holy Spirit will testify to our hearts of our status as sons and daughters of God.…
Catch the message Proof Of Life: Sons & Daughters by Pastor Scott Jones. John never stopped being amazed at the depth of God’s love that made us children of God. We are children of God, recipients of an over-abundant, never-ending, unquenchable, irreversible, eternal, divine love! Not only that, but we have a destiny beyond our wildest imagination! This motivates us to pursue purity and obedience to Christ with even greater passion and devotion. We are meant to live in light and love, not simply to please God, but ultimately because this is our deepest and truest identity.…
Catch the message Proof Of Life: In Denial by Pastor Scott Jones. John doesn’t mince words when he talks about those who spread false teachings. He calls them antichrists because they deny the unchanging truth of Jesus Christ. In John’s day, there was a growing threat called Gnosticism which, among other things, taught that Jesus was not both fully human and fully divine. What is critical for us today is to be deeply and firmly grounded in our understanding and belief in the truth of Jesus Christ—his incarnation, life, death, and resurrection. As we are steadfast and firm in our confidence in Jesus, we will be equipped to spot a fraud and stand our ground against those who may try to lead us astray.…
Catch the message Proof Of Life: Love & Hate by Pastor Scott Jones. John returns to again and again is simply obedience to Christ. To live obediently to Jesus, (live in the light), we’ll need to know that a central aspect of that obedience will be to live in love towards others. Hatred and unresolved conflict will rob us of life. Further, John shows us that it is expected, normative even, that we will grow and make progress as followers of Christ. Finally, we show proof of life by guarding our hearts from being shaped by the culture around us which encompasses materialism, pride, lust, and anything else that threatens our intimacy with Jesus.…
Catch the message Proof Of Life: Handling The Truth by Pastor Scott Jones. John introduces himself as an eyewitness of the Word of Life (Jesus) and proclaims what he knows to be true about Him. False teachings about the true nature of Jesus had crept into the church. John makes crystal clear the true nature of God and those who belong to him is light, not darkness; truth, not falsehood. We cannot claim to be vitally connected with God and, at the same time, ignore or trivialize our sin. And so we must deal with sin by acknowledging it (truth) and receiving the grace and forgiveness of Jesus so that we can remain in close fellowship with him (walking in the light) and others in God’s family.…
Catch the message The Ultimate Question by Pastor Scott Jones. We are answering the question what do I have to do to be saved.
Catch the message Holy Habits: Steadfastness by Pastor Scott Jones. There are few things in life we can control. One is our choice and determination to be faithful. Too many people give up too early and fail to persevere because of hardship or trials. This will be a reminder that the reward from God is not dependent on our accomplishments but on our obedience over the course of our lives.…
Catch the message Holy Habits: Sorrow by Pastor Scott Jones. When we sin, we often withdraw from God in shame. We try to hide like Adam. Unhealthy guilt leads to separation and death, but godly sorrow leads to repentance and life. We will examine the difference and find how confession can keep us connected to God and strengthen our intimacy with him.…
Catch the message Holy Habits: Solitude by Pastor Scott Jones. We live in such a fast-paced world that we can easily let it crowd out our time with God. In the absence of solitude, we’re often driven by expectations and demands that damage our relationship with God and others. This will be an invitation to follow Jesus in his ongoing habit of withdrawing to find rest and be recharged to fulfill the calling of God on his life.…
Catch the message Holy Habits: Simplicity by Pastor Scott Jones. We all want more. It’s part of the human condition to think more will satisfy us and make us happy. But learning to be content is the biblical path to joy. This will be a call to learn that we have enough in Jesus and find the freedom that comes from an intentional pursuit of less.…
Catch the message Holy Habits: Self-Examination by Pastor Scott Jones. When we lie, the person we often lie to the most is ourselves. The Psalmist asked God to search his heart because he knew that he needed the help of God to be honest about what was there. This will be a challenge to keep our hearts open to God so we are not guilty of self-deception that harms us and others around us.…
Catch the message New Year, Same God by Pastor Luke Mihail. Discover how to make 2025 your best year yet by building a strong foundation of faith and discipline, as we explore the timeless truth that God remains faithful through every season. Take on a journey that will equip you with practical steps to deepen your relationship with God and embrace the ultimate prize of Jesus.…
