Imagine carrying around a winning lottery ticket and not knowing it — still stressed, still struggling, still living like you're losing. Pastor Justin Sturgeon says that's exactly how a lot of Christians live. In week nine of the "Proof of Life" series through 1 John, Pastor Justin opens up 1 John 5:1–12 to show why every person born of God has already been given everything needed to overcome the world. This message at First Christian Church of The Dalles walks through John's three marks of a child of God — love for the Father, love for His people, and obedience to His commands — and the three witnesses that confirm Jesus is the Christ. The win is already yours. The question is whether you're living in it. If you've ever felt defeated, weary, or convinced that the world is winning, this sermon will reframe what victory actually looks like for a follower of Jesus.
