Envy is to our souls what mold is to a house. It spreads unnoticed until it has consumed every facet of our lives.
A Learner's Permit for Life
God doesn't measure our spiritual success by how much we know. He measures it by what we do with what we know.
Created to Worship ... Prone to Wander
Human beings were made to worship. The object of that worship will either be the one true and living God ... or it will be an idol. A "god" is whatever we choose to serve, rely on, find refuge in, and love. And the more we worship that false "god", the more we come to resemble it. Here, Pastor Davey expounds upon the Apostle John's warning for believers to guard themselves from idols. Jesus Christ is the only God both worthy of worshipping and worth becoming more like. Anything else is a shallow, temporary substitute.
Forever in the Grip of God
Do you ever doubt your heavenly assurance, worried that you might transgress one too many times for the Lord to accept you into His forever Kingdom? In this teaching on 1 John, Pastor Davey clarifies what the Apostle wants all of us to know with absolute certainty: we are forgiven and saved once and for always through Jesus Christ our Lord. Thankfully, our security is not dependent upon how firmly we grasp Christ. It is found in His grip on us. And God will never lose His grip.

Eternal Life ... Guaranteed! , Part 2
Often, our problem as Christians isn't that we don't have faith; it's that we don't have assurance. It's not that we don't have hope; it's that we don't have confidence. But the Apostle John delivers a message that could change all that.

Let the Record Show
Scripture tells what Jesus accomplished in the past, what He is accomplishing in the present, and what He will one day accomplish in the future. Where would we be without this incredible record? Who is Jesus? What did He say? What did He do? Why was He crucified? Where is He now? What does He expect from His disciples? Thankfully it's all written in the record.
