This is Life - 1 John 1:1-4
There are a lot of areas in life where it’s ok to lack certainty. However, when it comes to our relationship with God and our eternal destiny, we should want to know for certain where we stand.
Thankfully, the book of 1 John is all about certainty, and the basis of that certainty. It also addresses and answers other important assurance-related questions, such as: How can I know that what I believe is true? How can I be assured of God’s love and control in my life? And how can I maintain certainty in the midst of disappointment and opposition?
If you’ve ever asked any of these questions, you’re not alone. Our hope and prayer is that God will use the new message series that we’re starting today to help you to become more certain than ever of your eternal future.

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.
