Confess Your Mess - 1 John 1:8-10
There might not be anything more frightening in Christian practice. On the other hand, there might not be anything more helpful. Confession. Opening up to another person about our real struggles. Our real secrets. Our real sins.
Today we will look at how God wants us to step into one of our biggest fears, and the freedom we’ll find on the other side.

This Week's Sermon: "Need to Know"
Some people seem to know everything. Or at least a lot more than the average person knows. It’s baffling! Does the name Ken Jennings ring a bell? Does just asking that question cause you to think, “Should I have known that?” Just so you’re not left wondering who Ken Jennings is, he recently won the three-day GOAT (Greatest of All Time) Tournament on Jeopardy. The stuff Ken knows is beyond most of us. And maybe for good reason.
Not everything that comes our way is something we need to know. Some things are simply “could knows” or “don’t need to knows.” And there are even some things we know that we wish we didn’t know! But some things that come our way are things we really need to know. They’re that important! They might even have life-changing ramifications. This Sunday our final message in the book of 1 John focuses on five certainties that everyone needs to know. For sure.
