The First Letter of John - Week 9

In this sermon, Pastor Eric Laverentz reminds us of the bold faith and confidence the Apostle John had because he knew Jesus personally as both God and man. John’s unwavering belief gave him courage to stand up to powerful rulers, knowing that eternal life starts now for those who trust in Christ. Pastor Eric explains that living in God’s Kingdom today means we have intimacy with God, confidence that He hears our prayers, and a calling to pray for others to know His freedom. Ultimately, we’re invited to live as beloved disciples—carrying Christ’s light, loving sinners over condemning them, and showing the world who Jesus is until our final breath.
