We are often flooded with content, leaving us thirsty for genuine connection. If our faith is just a collection of facts without a changed heart, we’ve missed the point. God calls us to a life of surrender.

Pastors Kevin Wilson and Mark Watkins look at 1 John 4 to discuss the shift from just hearing the word to experiencing the Holy Spirit. They discuss why testing the truth always points back to Jesus and leads to a life that actually looks like Him.

-Sharing your faith for the first time or serving others ... these are moments that transform us far more than didactic information alone ever could.

-Biblical love is a verb that requires action; we truly know God not by what we can intellectually recite, but by how we forgive, encourage, and serve those around us.

-True freedom is found when we trade our "to-do" lists for the simple reality of the gospel: that we are completely forgiven, totally accepted, and deeply loved in Christ.
