Epistles of John : 1 John - Walking in the Light (Wk 2)| 1 John 1:5-10 | Emanuel Istrate | May 31

In this message from 1 John 1:5-10, we consider the powerful truth that “God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.” In a culture that softens sin and blurs the lines of truth, this sermon calls us back to the unchanging gospel: we are sinners in need of a Savior, and Jesus Christ alone is our Advocate and atoning sacrifice. We explore the seriousness of sin, the gift of honest confession, and the promise of full forgiveness and cleansing for all who come to God through Christ. Part of our “Walking in the Light” series in the Epistles of John, this sermon from Emanuel Istrate at Oxford Bible Fellowship in Oxford, Ohio, is for anyone longing to live openly before God and walk in the light of Christ.

Epistles of John : 1 John - Walking in the Light (Wk 1)| 1 John 1:1-4 | Emanuel Istrate | May 24

This week we begin a summer series through the Epistles of John, starting with 1 John 1:1-4. The apostle John, an eyewitness who walked with Jesus, invites us to behold the certainty and beauty of Christ, the "Word of Life". John opens his letter by testifying to both the humanity and divinity of Jesus—reminding weary believers that our faith is rooted in something real and unshakable. In a world filled with uncertainty and empty promises, John calls us back to the simple, life-giving truth of the gospel and into deeper fellowship with God and one another. This fellowship through Christ is what brings complete joy to our lives. Join Emanuel Istrate and Oxford Bible Fellowship in Oxford, Ohio as we explore these rich letters.
