Rooted – 1 John – Week 2
There is a Christian maxim, origin unknown, “Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.” Take sin seriously! Sin ruins. However, do not carry your sin (or others) as a burden; we have an advocate. “[Jesus] is the propitiation for our sins,” meaning He has turned God’s wrath into favor through His love (1 John 2:1-2).

Rooted – 1 John – Week 1
Navigating in darkness has its dangers. The light offers clarity and direction. The apostle John’s first letter invites us in to God’s light; a light of truth, wisdom and cleansing.

So, set our mind on…

Storyline – Fall
Why isn’t the world the way it should be? Well, the answer is sin. It all began at the fall. This event from Genesis has an impact to this day, globally, relationally and personally. Until sin is bitter Christ will not be sweat.
