In this inspiring sermon titled “Getting Your House in Order,” Pastor Tyler and Crystal Tullos take us on a journey through the book of 1 John. Drawing on their own experiences of returning from an eight-week absence and the realities of setting their physical and spiritual houses back in order, they challenge us to align our lives with God’s standards. They highlight the crucial aspects of Christian living—from avoiding sin and embracing fellowship with Jesus to resisting worldly distractions and genuinely loving one another.
Join us as we explore these vital lessons and get our spiritual houses in order. Let this sermon ignite a transformation in your heart and guide you in living a life that honors God.
