A Love for God That Lasts

August 16, 2020 • Zach Weihrauch • 1 John 5:3

1 John 5:3 delivers what seems like a simple message: "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome." Yet, living by this verse is far from simple. God asks us to show him love in one way: by obeying him. Really, that means trusting him. But how willing are you to give up control of your entire life, trusting God to direct all that you do? And even if you did, would it actually feel "not burdensome?" This week, Pastor Zach talks about what it means to truly love God, and why, as scary as it may seem at times, we know we can trust him.

What Kind of Love?!

August 23, 2020 • Joe Coffey • 1 John 3:1–3

We are all children of God, as 1 John 3:1-3 tells us, for all who have hope in Jesus have his purity transferred onto themselves, receiving God's blessings. It's great news, as it means we receive a love we could never earn purely by the grace of God and the actions of Jesus. So the question is: Are you living as a child of God? Are you finding yourself drawn towards following God and flourishing as the person he made you to be, or are you trying to earn his love or acting like you deserve his blessings? This week, Pastor Joe explains what it means to not only recognize a love that is freely given, but respond as it calls and transforms us.
