God With Us
By Cody Anderson The birth of Jesus Christ stands as one of the most profound and transformative events in all of history. The impact it has on the believing and nonbelieving is unquantifiable. The Messiah’s arrival was used to create a universal labeling for our years with AD 1 which is Latin for “In the … Continue reading God With Us
A Promise Kept
By Cody Anderson Christmas is most often seen as a time of joy and family gatherings. For Christians however, it represents something much deeper. It is a celebration of a promise kept. Long before the advent of the Messiah, prophets spoke of a coming Savior. The birth of Jesus specifically was prophesied hundreds of years … Continue reading A Promise Kept
The Why of Christmas

By Sarah Wootten “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ.

No disobedience is small enough to escape God’s wrath. However, John wrote, “If anyone sees his brother committing a sin … Continue reading Praying for Sinful Brothers (1 John, Part 35)
The Three Witnesses (1 John, Part 34)
By Sarah Wootten Two weeks ago, we discussed how Jesus is the promised Messiah from the Old Testament. He fulfills every Old Testament prophecy required of the Savior. Many people from the first century were eyewitnesses to this, and their accounts are written down in the New Testament. However, John tells us in 1 John … Continue reading The Three Witnesses (1 John, Part 34)
His Commands Are Not Burdensome (1 John, Part 33)
By Sarah Wootten We had a rule in my childhood home – wash your hands before dinner. It’s a simple rule, one that most of you probably were told before suppertime too. And yet, I despised it. I’m not kidding. I would lie and say I washed my hands when I didn’t. I would hide … Continue reading His Commands Are Not Burdensome (1 John, Part 33)
Jesus is the Promised Christ (1 John, part 32)
By Sarah Wootten “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God,” (1 John 5:1, ESV). This is the fifth time in the letter of 1 John that Jesus has been referred to as the Christ. We have seen that the Christ is our righteous advocate (2:1), that believers have fellowship … Continue reading Jesus is the Promised Christ (1 John, part 32)
