Pastor Aaron Buer continues our Confident sermon series by exploring 1 John and how we can be confident in our salvation. In this message, we discover that God loved first, sending Jesus to rescue us. Basing our lives on God’s love for us transforms how we approach our fears and anxieties. We examine the choice between loving God and loving the world, recognizing that cultural pursuits for satisfaction will ultimately disappoint us. We learn that authentic faith shows itself through sacrificial love in action within our church community. We’re challenged to anchor our identity in God’s love, turn from worldly pursuits for fulfillment and demonstrate genuine love through tangible care for fellow believers.
