Truth or Consequences
1 John 2:18-28 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

Parents everywhere have made the plea, “Just tell me the truth,” to their kids, but hearing the truth is not enough. Even when one hears the truth, the second issue is belief. This morning you must ask yourself, “Do I know the truth and do I believe it?” The answer to that question holds eternal consequences.

The Love God Hates
1 John 2:15-17 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

We all love something. Do we love what God hates? Is our love incompatible with loving God and walking in light? Today, we see that John is blunt in his imperative not to love the world nor the things in the world. Do you love the world? Could you be more in love with the things of this world than you realize?

A Delayed Commitment
Luke 22:31-34 & 24:1-12 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

Don’t you wish you had unflinching faith and unshakable commitment? Many claim they wish they could be like the men and women of the Bible in regards to commitment, but they too struggled. Many times, their commitment was also delayed. Today, perhaps the delay is over for you?

Done with Jesus?
Matthew 27:11-26 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

When we look around, there seems to be a lot of people who are just, “Done with Jesus.” This is nothing new and it takes on different forms, as we will see in scripture today, but what about you? Are you done with Him? If not, how do you engage those who want to be? In reality, one cannot “wash their hands” of Jesus.

The Chapters of Life
1 John 2:12-14 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

As we journey through life, it is marked by phases or chapters. We conclude one, then move on to the next. But as we move on, we can reflect upon what was. John tells us that we have chapters in our spiritual life as well. We must be mindful of where we have been, but also where we are going.

Knowing vs. Doubting, Part 2
1 John 2:1-6 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

All of us want to know. Doubting is the worst. We doubt when our mind is suspended between two or more contradictory propositions and we are unable to be certain of any of them. Doubt leaves us feeling hopeless, helpless, and paralyzed, which is not the life God has planned for us.
