Doing What is Right (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1 John 3:4–10, Pastor Matt looks at the gravity of sin and the call to do what is right. While Christians still struggle with sin, we are called to repent, turn our hearts back to God, and keep coming back to Christ. Jesus appeared to take away our sins and to destroy the works of the devil, freeing us from the dominion of sin as we trust in His grace.
Children of God (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1 John 3:1–3, Pastor Matt reflects on the great love God has lavished on us in calling us His children.

Knowing Jesus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it truly mean to know Jesus? In 1 John 2:1–11, we see three marks of a life connected to Christ: forgiveness, obedience, and love. Our salvation rests not on our feelings, experiences, or performance, but on Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice for our sins. As we grow in our relationship with Him, that faith begins to bear fruit as we learn to walk in obedience and love one another.
