1 John

The Lion King had the “Circle of Life,” but the True King invites you into the “Circle of Love.” What is this circle? Listen in to find out, and learn how it can radically change your life and relationships.

Our American culture LOVES to talk about love. But do we truly understand what true love is and what we are supposed to do with it?

In this sixth message in the 1 John series, Pastor Erin Bird walks us through one of the most famous passages from the book of 1 John, and helps us see not only God’s intense love for us, but what He wants us to do with that love.

Just as a dolphin is designed to swim and an eagle is designed to soar, all Jesus-followers are designed to do something. But the only way a Jesus-follower can do this one thing is to understand who they are as part of God’s family.

So if you are a Jesus-follower, listen in. And if you are NOT a Jesus-follower, listen in as well to know what it is God will expect of you if you do become a follower of Jesus.

The famed “bad guy” of the end times is supposed to be “the Antichrist.” But who is this “man of lawlessness”? And when will he show up – or has he already appeared?

In this week’s non-scary message from 1 John, Pastor Erin Bird walks us through the end of chapter two and beginning of chapter 4, looking at what the Antichrist values, and how Jesus-followers can be sure to not fall for anti-christ teaching.

To become an expert on a particular subject, you have to study it in detail. This type of study requires you to hear and read the same material repeatedly until you practically have the subject memorized. And when you have the subject memorized, it becomes a part of you, affecting the way you think and what you talk about, making you an expert.

If you are a follower of Jesus, what if the subject you knew in and out was the gospel? What kind of effect would that have on your life? More importantly, what kind of effect would that have on the lives of those around you?

Listen in to this third part in the 1 John series with Pastor Erin has he talks about how to fulfill the “New Old Commandment” in 1 John 2:3-17.

To be human means to be a hypocrite. And that’s a problem, because hypocrisy is a sin, and sin cannot be in the presence of a perfect holy God. So what is a human to do?
In this week’s message, we look at the challenging yet encouraging words written by the Apostle John so long ago that let us know we do not need to be trapped in the darkness of our sin and hypocrisy.

As humans, we long to be accepted by others. We want to connect with people through the things we enjoy, whether a favorite hobby, sports team, musician, movie, or something else.

Because we find meaningful connection through these things, we often make them the most important things in life. But what if God has something else for you that can lead to meaningful connection with humans AND with Him?
