True Christianity is marked by discernment and testing the spirits. In a world filled with persuasive religious, cultural, and political voices, believers are called to test every message by the lordship of Jesus, the character of His love, and the truth of Scripture. Are you carefully examining the spirits around you—or simply trusting what sounds right?

Increasingly, young adults are delaying maturity, and yet the Scriptures call us to deep spiritual maturity. We need to be warned of the dangers, encouraged with God's work in us, and taught how to become mature. Learn these things as we look at Hebrews chapters 5 and 6 together.

Join us for a flyover of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation that reveals a consistent theme--God's heart for the nations and our call to join the mission of God.

Just as kids bear family resemblance to their parents, true Christians should look like our Father—by hating sin, practicing righteousness, and reflecting His mission for the world. Does your life bear fruit that resembles your heavenly Father?

One enduring test of true Christianity is a deep love for the Father. This affection is evidenced by not loving the world, by doing the will of the Father, and by abiding in Him.

What does a truly Christian life look like?

In this message from 1 John 2:1–14, we explore the second mark of true Christianity: a life marked by holiness. John shows us that while Christians are not sinless, they are no longer characterized by sin. True faith produces obedience, love for others, and a growing likeness to Christ.

At the same time, this passage offers deep hope. When we do sin, we are not left in despair—Jesus is our righteous Advocate and the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Through Him, both the penalty and power of sin are overcome.

Wrong priorities and bad excuses cost many of us a vibrant relationship with God. The story of the Israelites in Haggai 1 offers us an opportunity at the turn of the year to reflect and refocus, and to decide whether we will trust God fully and pursue him passionately.
