Scripture/Text: 1 John 5:16-21; The big idea of this week's sermon is that Jesus is the one true God, He is the only way to eternal life, and He is the reason that we know. The message began by emphasizing Jesus' divinity and the command for us to guard against idols. It then explored the two responses to sin: either confessing our sins to Jesus as the only source of cleansing or allowing sin to lead us to our death. The sermon concluded by explaining how the person of Christ instills confidence and assurance in our salvation.

Sermon Outline:
1. There Is One True God: As it is explicitly stated in verses 20-21, Jesus is the one true God.

2. There Are Two Ways to Live: Verses 16-17 teach that there are two ways to respond to our sin, and Jesus is the only way for us to cleanse us from all our unrighteousness.
