Sometimes the best way to start again is with a simple, honest conversation:“God, I’m ready to talk.”In this message, Pastor Bish opens 1 John and reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about pretending to be perfect—it’s about walking in the light.John’s letter to early believers starts with a powerful declaration: “That which we have heard, seen, and touched…” (1 John 1:1). It’s not hearsay—it’s a testimony of real encounter with Jesus. And the goal? True fellowship with God and one another.Walking in the light means being honest, not hiding. Grace doesn’t excuse sin; it transforms us. And the promise is clear: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us.” (1 John 1:9)This is not a God who condemns you. This is a God who forgives, restores, and calls you closer.Maybe today is your moment. No more hiding. No more pretending. Just say it: “God, I’m ready to talk.”------Decided to follow Jesus today?: https://www.rivervalleyvan.org/now-whatConnect with us: https://rivervalleyvan.churchcenter.c...Request Prayer: https://rivervalleyvan.churchcenter.c...Give Online: https://www.rivervalleyvan.org/giveFIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: / rivervalleyvan Facebook: / rivervalleyvan WEBSITE:https://rivervalleyvan.orgSTAY CONNECTED:Subscribe for more insightful sermons and share this message with your community.
