In the latest sermon series at SPC, Rev. Jake Medcalf delved into the themes of 1 John 1:5-10 during the first week of the new four-week sermon series on the pastoral letter of 1 John. Jake encouraged the congregation to follow along using their smartphones, as this sermon took on a Bible study format, examining the passage line by line. He provided historical and scholarly context around the Apostle John and his community, emphasizing the real human struggles and divisions they faced. The sermon focused on the essence of walking in the light, acknowledging sin, and the importance of lived truth through confession. Congregants were encouraged to engage in a physical act of confession by writing down their sins and placing them in baskets as a symbolic gesture of purification and seeking God’s forgiveness.
