Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
6
If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[a] sin.
8
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
10
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

This Message is Huge Part 2
James Kaddis
Whether you’re a mechanic, plumber, electrician or in construction you have tools that you regularly use! It’s important to know what tools you need for the job and how to use them properly! Today on Light on the Hill we’ll open First John chapter one, where the apostle John encourages us to take advantage of the tools we’ve been given and use them. God has given us the tools we need to handle and solve really any problem we face in life.
Clean from Sin, Part 2
Stuart and Jill Briscoe
After we sin, we can feel a bit grimy. Our sin sticks to us like dirt, and we can have an itching desire to scrub ourselves clean.Some of us confess to a priest to be made clean – others talk directly to Jesus. But in either case, many of us were made to believe we must confess every sin – no matter how large or small – in order to receive Christ's forgiveness.In this message based on 1 John 1:5-10, Pete Briscoe shakes things up by asking whether John is talking to believers in this text, or to people pretending to be believers? Knowing which you are makes all the difference in understanding the forgiveness of your sins – past, present, and future.
This Message is Huge Part 1
James Kaddis
We live in a crazy world filled with distractions. The most damaging side effect of this problem centers around the fact that the most important messages to us are lost and even indiscernible! No matter what, this message that we read from some very astute people cannot be missed. Let’s talk about what that message is and means today on Light on the Hill.

That Your Joy May be Full Part 2b
James Kaddis
Depression has been on the rise in recent years, especially with the youth! And while many are running to the world for answers, and coming up short, we’ll discover today the answer is found in the Word. Today on Light on the Hill we continue our series, “That Your Joy May Be Full.” And as we go through First John with pastor James Kaddis we’re uncovering some wonderful tools that will help us defeat depression. Pastor James says many Christians aren’t aware of these tools, or simply don’t know how to use them.
