We have all had profoundly impactful experiences, good and bad. Experiences that change us, and shake us to the core. In ten seconds, a single experience can change our perspective on all of life. So, how important is our experience of God? What if we have never felt God's presence? Are we even Christians if we do not feel God's presence? Pastor Ivey answers all these questions and more this week.

Know Through Your Love For Others

May 21, 2023 • Ivey Rhodes • 1 John 4:7–21

Jesus tells his disciples that the two signs they are genuine believers is that they love God and love others. John continues that theme in his book. John gives us the reason why: God is love. This week Pastor Ivey shows us that when we experience the love of God we will become more loving people. There is no way we cannot.

Love the Father, Hate Darkness, Know You’re Saved

May 14, 2023 • Ivey Rhodes • 1 John 2:15–17

Knowing if we are a genuine believer is the most important question we can have the answer to. This week, Professor John gives us another test. He tells us we cannot love the world and love the Father at the same time. Because They are incompatible with each other. We will learn what John actually means by "love for the world." Then Pastor Ivey will give us three observations to discern if we love the world or the Father.
