We live in a day and age where it is sometimes hard to recognize the truth from error. With the 24/7 news cycle, the access to unlimited information on the internet, and the rise of AI, discerning what is true and what is false is becoming difficult. The Lord has called us not to be naive and believe everything. Instead, we are to be directed by His Word and the Holy Spirit. We have the ability to know what is from God and what is not. We will be in the amazing and practical section of 1 John 4:1-6 to see how to be guided instead of gullible. This Sunday is also Mother’s Day. It is a day designed to honor our mothers and show gratitude for all their sacrifice. Motherhood is a special and sacred calling. This day also elicits many emotions. We will be having a time to celebrate our mothers and also recognize the pain and hardships that this day brings about.

The center of our faith is love. 1 John tells us that “God is love.” We can know love as well. It is seen in the sacrifice of Christ and how He laid down His life for us (1 John 3:16). The love of God should not be some distant idea for followers of Christ, but should shape everything about their lives. We are not to love just by our intentions but by our actions. We are to love as God has loved us. Love has the ability to overcome and shape us into being the people the Lord designed us to be. This section of 1 John gives us clear evidence of how knowing the love of God should shape our lives. It also shows us how love is worked out in our daily lives and how to walk in love with our motives and actions.

The believer in Christ has been given a new nature that is in Christ. Yet that same believer still has the old sin nature that is completely self-focused—a virtual “me monster.” The differences between the two natures are stark: the new nature in Christ does not sin because it is born in Christ; the me monster does nothing but sin. The me monster cannot be reformed; it must be programmed to be dead (Romans 6:11). The key to destroying the me monster is to abide in Christ—to discover His will and then to do His will.

One of the greatest gifts, privileges, and blessings is being adopted into God’s family. The Lord gives us rights as children of God when we believe in Jesus (John 1:12). He takes us from the power of darkness and transfers to the power of light. Being a child of God comes with incredible promises and honor. It seems, though, that many times we lack that confidence. We doubt our salvation or our standing in God’s eyes. Does God really love me? Does God really want me? Do I belong to Him? In this section of 1 John, we are given great comfort and assurance. The Lord wants us to know that we are His children. When we know that, without a shadow of a doubt, it produces many things in our lives. We are going to look at knowing we are children of God and the evidence of that in our lives.

He is risen, He is risen indeed! Easter is the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. He is really alive and we will live through Him. What looked like defeat was part of God’s plan for victory. It was through Jesus’ death that death was defeated because Christ rose! Jesus’ victory becomes our victory when we believe in Him. This morning we are celebrating the cornerstone of Christianity, which is a historical fact. Everything hinges on the resurrection. Sometimes, we have our questions and doubts about what happened. One of Jesus’ closest disciples, Thomas, expressed great skepticism and doubt as well to Jesus rising from the dead. This Easter, we are going to see the truth, eternal significance, power and hope that the resurrection of Jesus produces. We are going to walk through John 20 and “doubting Thomas’” story to see how he moved from a hardened skeptic to one of the most influential followers of Christ.
