Cornerstone Church of Eldridge, Iowa

This message is for anyone who knows what it feels like to hold the pieces of something that did not break clean. John writes into a church living with real division and real questions, and he shows them that the love of God can rebuild what human strength cannot. That same love is here for you today.

John reminds us that there will be teachings that try to lead us away from truth, but we have victory as we are led by His Spirit.

How can we be assured of our salvation? It is not in what we do, but in how we love.

It is easy to be distracted in our culture. We need to be cautious against false teachings that distract us from our identity as God's children. We are called to live differently.

Our identity in Christ defines who we are. In this text we learn about the different stages of our spiritual journey as we pursue Christ over the world.

God is light, and to live in fellowship with Him, we must walk in the light. In this passage from 1 John 1:5–2:11, we’re reminded that true relationship with God is revealed not just in words, but in the way we live. Walking in the light means living with honesty, confession, and love which reflects His truth in every part of our lives and allowing His presence to drive out the darkness within us.

John reminds us that there will be teachings that try to lead us away from truth, but we have victory as we are led by His Spirit.

John invites us into fellowship with God and one another, revealing how sharing the reality of Christ makes our joy complete.

Gratitude does not come naturally to us, we have to train for it. In Luke 17:11–19, we see the story of ten lepers who were healed, but only one returned to thank Jesus. This passage reminds us that thankfulness is more than a reaction; it’s a discipline we practice daily. True gratitude shapes our perspective, draws us closer to God, and transforms the way we live.
