Saved From Sin - 1 John 2:1-2
We have God’s Word on it: the day is coming when there will be no more sin. Now that’s something to look forward to and to live in light of. When that days comes, suffering, tears, tragedy, grief, and death—all the things that sin brings into this world—will be a thing of the past.
If only that was our experience right now. But it’s not. We battle with sin every day. We continue to suffer from its deadly consequences. But even in this fallen world, God’s will for us is to have victory over sin. Before God creates the new heavens and the new earth, He wants us to experience more and more of His Kingdom on earth now. Today we’ll see how.

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.
