That Was Easy!
Everyone has burdens. Keeping God's commands should not be one of them. But for too many people living for Christ is a heavy burden. The life God wants us to live in Christ is full of love, joy, peace and so much more - an abundant life in Christ. Jesus wants to carry your burdens so that you can - with joy! - follow His Word and be guided by His Spirit. Listen to this message from 1 John 5:1-5 entitled That Was Easy!

The Spirit of Truth
How do you know when someone is telling the truth and when they are trying to deceive people? The world is filled with false prophets declaring their version of the truth.

In this message, The Spirit of Truth, from 1 John 4:1-6, you will learn the key to knowing the difference between truth and deception, and you will see the eternal consequences of truth and lies.
