Certainty Through Experience
In “Assured,” Pastor J.D. looks at the book of 1 John and answers the question, “How can I know for sure that I’m saved?” God wants us to be confident in our salvation so we can stop worrying about where we stand with him and finally rest in him. When we find that rest, we’ll see that assurance leads to more lasting change than any uncertainty ever could.

The Skeptic
In “Can’t Believe,” Pastor J.D. looks at several characters from the book of John, people who might have wanted to believe, but—for whatever reason—felt like they just couldn't. The obstacles that kept people from believing 2,000 years ago are the same ones that prevent people from truly believing in Jesus Christ today. Our prayer is that those who don’t yet believe in Jesus would trust him for the first time, and that believers would re-learn what it means to believe in him.
