1 John
First John pulls no punches. Written to a community wrestling with false teaching, self-deception, and the daily cost of love, it lays out what it actually looks like to walk with God. Over ten sermons, we move from honest confession of sin and the advocacy of Christ, through the battle between loving God and loving the world, to the purifying hope of seeing Jesus face to face. Along the way we wrestle with what genuine love for one another demands in practice, why discernment is essential rather than optional, and how the Spirit, the water, and the blood together ground our assurance. By the end, the question is not whether you know about faith but whether the marks of it are visible in your life.
True fellowship with God demands honesty about our sin. Jesus, the righteous advocate, took our place so we can walk in the light and experience real transformation.
True faith shows itself in love for fellow believers. As God's light seeps into our hearts, it transforms how we treat one another and testifies to the world that the gospel is real.
God's family includes people at every stage of faith. Each has a vital role: the mature share wisdom, the strong take responsibility, and all find peace in knowing the Father's heart.
Your heart cannot love both God and the world. Scripture draws a sharp line: those anointed by the Holy Spirit are marked for freedom and must guard their hearts against the desires that enslave.
One day believers will see Jesus face to face. This glorious hope purifies hearts now, motivating lives shaped by love and holiness rather than sin.
Love is not just a feeling or nice words. KJ unpacks 1 John 3 to show how genuine Christian love for one another looks in action, grounded in the self-giving love of Jesus.
Spiritual discernment is not optional but essential for every believer. Testing what we hear against the truth of who Jesus is protects us from error and grounds our faith in reality.
God does not love us because we are lovable. He loves us because He is love. This truth transforms cold hearts and empowers genuine love for others.
How do you know you are saved? KJ explores five fundamental marks of Christian faith from 1 John 5: new birth, belief in Jesus, love for God's people, obedience that flows from the heart, and victory through faith.
What does it mean to have confidence in God? James explores how prayer, understanding, and trust work together to anchor us in the truth of who God is and what He has done for us in Christ.
