Walking With Jesus, Our Advocate
May 01, 2016 | Josh McPherson
John writes to Christians as a loving Father who desires the best for his children, and longs for us to experience the assurance of knowing we are God's children. John gives us two unique tests to apply to our life that we might have this assurance, and in the sermon, Pastor Josh unpacks them both and explains how Jesus being our advocate frees us to walk in this assurance and explains how it changes how we live and love. Although the Christian will never be perfect, we can and will experience progress in the Christian life as we look to Jesus and walk with the Father away from our sin.

Don't Be A Spiritual Sucker
June 05, 2016 | Josh McPherson
With a Father's heart, Grandpa John writes to Christians urging them to exercise wisdom and discernment by testing the spirits of prophets who claim to be from God and speak for God. False teaching abounds and comes at us from every side, so the warning and command could not be more timely. However, this is not license to be mean and critical of brothers and sisters in Christ, lest we become false teachers ourselves. In this very practical sermon, Pastor Josh lays out very clear ways to identify false prophets, examples of abuses of this text, and rules of engagement to follow when dealing with a teacher that appears to be outside the scope of biblical doctrine.
