1 John 1:5-2:2

Disciples Joyfully Walk In The Light

What does it really mean to “walk in the light”? In this sermon from 1 John 1:5–2:2, we see that the Christian life isn’t about pretending we have it all together or denying our sin—it’s about living honestly before God, confessing our need, and resting in Jesus Christ, our advocate. John shows us two dangerous errors: walking in darkness while claiming fellowship with God, and denying our sin altogether. But he also shows us the good news: when we bring our sin into the light, we find cleansing, fellowship, and a joy-filled life rooted not in our performance, but in Christ’s finished work.

1 John 1:1-4

Disciples Joyfully Make Jesus Known

What does a joy-filled life actually look like? In 1 John 1:1–4, we see that Christian joy is not something we chase—it’s something we receive as we walk in fellowship with God. John grounds our faith in what was seen, heard, and touched: the real, incarnate Jesus Christ. Because the gospel is rooted in eyewitness testimony, it creates confidence, fellowship, and lasting joy. Discipleship is more than information—it’s apprenticeship. As we see how God has acted through Christ and how he continues to work among his people, we are called not only to believe, but to testify. Following Jesus leads to deeper fellowship with God and one another, and ultimately to a joy that is made complete as it is shared with others.

Luke 15:11-24

The Prodigal Story

The week after Christmas can be surprisingly quiet—and painfully honest. The decorations come down, the travel ends, and for many of us, the longing to belong remains. In this sermon from Luke 15:11–24, Jesus tells a familiar story in a surprising way—not as a lesson about a wayward son, but as a revelation of a loving Father. A Father who waits, runs, restores, and celebrates when His children come home. No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or how far you feel from God, the invitation still stands: come home. In Christ, you don’t just find forgiveness—you find a family. You don’t just receive mercy—you discover a place to belong.
