When people ask who Calvary Church is, we respond that we are and desire to be Christ's church in this place. The church is different than any other institution on earth. How? The church is the only institution that Christ Himself promised to build (Matthew 16:18). So the church is the mission of Christ, which means that He is doing somethng in us communally. Christ not only saves individual believers, but is forming a people for His own possession (1 Peter 2:9).

The first message in this series introduced the book of 1 John and said it was written so that we might know what all of us are being offered by God: The Word of life. In this message, we are going to start digging into 1 John by looking at the very first feature mentioned when you accept God’s offer of the Word of life. So whether you are new to Christianity, have been a Christian for a long time, or are still investigating whether or not you are ready to make this commitment, this is a helpful look at the forgiveness of sins, the first feature in God’s offer.
