Tough Love
1 John 3:11-18 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

Why do you think as believers we are repeatedly told to love one another? Why does it seem so tough to abide by that command? The problem is, many times we are unloving and, as a result, unlovable. God’s word is unchanging. By the eternal life residing in us, we are to show each other love in actions and in truth, even when that love is tough.  

The Tale of Three Paths
Proverbs 2:1-21 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

It’s the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.  A time to leave things behind and begin a new journey.  The question is, “What path will you take?”  This is a very important question, because both the journey and your condition upon arrival are at stake in the next stage of life.  So, choose wisely.  

Will the Real You Stand Up?
1 John 3:1-10 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

There is consistency in the Christian life. Who you are and where you are going cannot be in conflict with what you are doing. John continues to challenge us in our understanding of our faith. Is your faith a salvific faith? If so, then the pattern of your life will testify to that reality.  

When the Journey Gets Tough
1 John 2:28 – 3:3 – Dr. Paul Lyle
Worship Leader – Mark Hudson

There are no flawless, easy, or simple journeys. If there are, then the destination is not worth it. When walking with Christ, there will be times one will question, doubt, and ponder if it is worth the trouble. John is aware of this, and he gives us the incentive and the motivation to keep moving forward.  

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

Pastor Paul continues his sermon from last week. Hearing the truth is not enough. You must also decide if you believe. Do you know the truth, and do you believe it? The answer to that question holds eternal consequences.  

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.
