The Bible tells us that as followers of Jesus we have been adopted as God's children and made joint-heirs with Jesus to God's kingdom. If that is our identity in Christ, what does the Bible say about sin in our life? Pastor Jake digs into 1 John 3 to show us how children of the sinless king should live.

The problem is we don't have what it takes to fight the unseen battle within us and around us.  The solution is to gain a strength other than our own, God's strength through His Spirit.  We do this because everything is at stake and because the Devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour.  If we don't take this spiritual battle seriously we could be getting chewed up and not even know it. Listen to this sermon from guest speaker Johnny Houston as he teaches through Ephesians 3:14-16 and gives practical steps to walk in a strength other than our own.

In this sermon we see that when John talks about Jesus and his example, he can't help but to talk about Jesus' love for us and our love for one another.  Love and maturity go hand in hand with our Christian life. For more info check out Verse.Church

As we jump into 1 John Chapter 2 we learn how sin affects our lives as disciples of Jesus as well as how Jesus deals with our sin. 1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.  3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. For more info go to www.Verse.Church
