In part 3 of our 1 John series, Pastor Michael uses a hilarious middle-of-the-night crash to illustrate a powerful spiritual truth: when we walk in darkness, we stumble. Through 1 John's teaching about light and darkness, we discover what it really means to walk with Jesus and why claiming faith without living it is spiritual dishonesty.

- God is light with no darkness in Him - He is pure, holy, and true

- Walking in darkness means claiming to follow Christ while living in contradiction to His teachings

- Following Jesus means following all of Him, not cherry-picking what's convenient

- Walking in the light brings fellowship with God, fellowship with others, and ongoing cleansing through Christ's sacrifice

You don't have to be foolish or careless to stumble - you just have to be walking in the dark. Walking with Jesus means letting His truth guide us, His love shape us, and His Spirit pick us up when we fall.

- "In the darkness we stumble, in The Light we are stable."

- "There is no such thing as believing it but refusing to live it."

- "Walking in the Light doesn't mean you'll never stumble. It means you're walking in the right direction."

- "Our confidence is not in our performance, but in Christ's Blood."

- "If we try to live apart from Jesus, we are walking in the dark. It's not a matter of IF we will stumble, but WHEN."

Are you walking in the dark or walking in the light? Are there corners of your life that have gotten shadowy?

Tune in to hear Pastor Michael's entertaining story about crashing into baskets at 4:45 AM and how it connects to one of the most important spiritual truths in the Christian life.
