June 17 & 18, 2017 | Confident: Truth And The Lie

Dr. David Whitaker

1 John 2:18-27

Ever since the Church has existed—almost 2,000 years ago—there have been false teachers. There was never a time the Church existed without false teachers. But it does seem as though, in the modern Church, the term "false teacher" is just politically incorrect. It's almost like just about anything that simply includes Jesus or the Bible is good enough to be taught in the Church. Even though Scripture talks about heresy, talking about it now makes people uncomfortable. And yet it's so important for us to be acutely aware of it.

June 10 & 11, 2017 | Confident: Love the Father or the World—Your Choice

Dr. David Whitaker

1 John 2:15-17

Where is your love quotient with God? Where is your sense in your heart, soul, life of your love for God? Is it growing bigger? Or do you feel like it's shrinking? Maybe there was a time when you really did have this love thing going on with God and now you're not experiencing it so much. Or maybe you've never really experienced it at all. Perhaps the whole idea of having a love experience with God is completely outside of the context of your life. Well, if you're not loving God, you're loving something else.

1 John 2:12-14

Sometimes it's all just overwhelming. All this stuff we're supposed to be doing: career, family, church, community... all of it just gets to be too much. Do you ever just get tired? There's this Christian life, this Christian experience we're supposed to be having, truths we're supposed to be engaging in, steps we're supposed to be taking, love that we're supposed to be demonstrating—up until this point in 1 John, we've been reading about all these things we are supposed to be doing and we start to think: I don't know if I can keep this up. What then?
