1 John 3:19-24
Assurance doesn’t come from saying we love God but showing it. John points to Jesus’ self-giving love as the pattern for all who belong to Him. This message looks at how practical love for God’s people gives evidence of a changed heart.
1 John 3:11-18
It’s easy to claim faith in Christ while keeping His people at a distance. John teaches that true children of God stay connected to the family of God. This message looks at how love for the church confirms the reality of our relationship with God.

Genesis 1:26-31
