Journey Community Church La Mesa, California

Message Summary: As human persons we experience many temptations. But there are at least three temptations of spirit: the temptations to pretend, despair and to judge our own value and worth by our performance. In 1 John 1 we see that life is all about connection with God who is light. So how do flawed, darkness-infected people experience connection with light? John goes on to tell us that the way to connect is through a practice called confession. Instead of pretending, we confess. Instead of judging ourselves, we trust God as the one who sacrificed Himself for our sin.
