9.1.2024 "The Growth of Love"
from Saints Peter and Paul Sermons · host Saints Peter and Paul
John says two incredible things in his final chapter of his first letter (1 John). He says: 1) The commandments of God are not burdensome. 2) He says that everyone who is "born of God" overcomes "the world."These two things should strike anyone (whether Christian or non-Christian). Are not the commandments of God an incredibly burdensome thing? Isn't Jesus' vision of morality impossible to live up to? How could anyone imagine them not to be burdensome?What is more - aren't the forces of evil too great to suggest that we could overcome them? Jesus? Sure, He could. But is it really possible for me to experience real, lasting freedom from the forces of evil that plague me?In this sermon, Pastor Kevin unpacks these two truths, and helps listeners to understand - and expect - the spiritual growth that comes for all who are "born again."
