(1 John 2:7-11)
First John #5 - We pick up where we left off last week in the book of 1 John to hear about how God wants us to live in His light, not blinded to it.
Today we look at the command to love one another. It is an old command that can be found at the very beginning of the Bible. Yet, Jesus reshapes our understanding of this command and, in a way, makes it new.

First John #4 - What is the proper Christian attitude in the fight against sin? Sin is bad. We can try our best to obey God but no one is perfect. How do we balance trying not to sin with trusting God to forgive us when we do?

(1 John)
First John #1 - We are going to move slowly and study deeply the book of 1 John in this new sermon series.
(Matthew 28)
Happy Easter! Jesus is alive. The tomb is empty. Whether you believe that’s true or not, it requires a response. We see three responses in Matthew 28.
If you believe Jesus is alive, don’t be afraid.
If you don’t believe Jesus is alive, explain why the tomb is empty.
If you do believe that Jesus is alive, share the good news.
(Matthew 27:27-44)
Why does Jesus choose to endure suffering and death? This is the central question of this sermon.
In this last week of Lent, as we prepare to celebrate Easter, we see that Jesus was willing to endure humiliation and a painful death on the cross because of His great love. He wants to have a relationship with you. Jesus loves you.

(Matthew 26:47-56)
This is the fifth sermon in the series, 'Jesus the Messiah.' We have strong ideas about power, what it looks like and how to get it. People living in the time of Jesus also had ideas of what power looked like. Jesus does not match up to either of these ideas of power. In this passage, we see an example of Jesus’ power and how it subverts our idea of power.
During the season of Lent, as we prepare to celebrate Easter, we will see how Jesus fulfills God's promises to send a rescuer. This week, we see Jesus' overcoming, true power that leads to freedom.
