Easter Sunday 2025

Luke 9:23 "And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

1 John 2:15-17 "15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one’s possessions—is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does the will of Godremains forever."

1 John 2:12-14

A love for God should lead to a love for other people!

Isaiah 26:3-4

1 John 2:3-6

Did Jesus die for the entire world or only for those who believe in Him?

If grace covers me, does that give me license to sin?

And what does propitiation mean?! Find out all that and more on today’s episode of 5 minute church!

Does it matter how I walk through life if I’m saved? How do I respond when I sin? What happens when I confess my sin to God?

Let’s talk about this today in our journey through 1st John!

What is Gnosticism? Why is John so concerned about it? Was Jesus really a man?

This is the ground we’re covering today as we dig in to the letter of 1 John!

Starting today and over the next several weeks, you and I are going on a journey through the book of 1st John. In this letter, John tackles a few different topics that were important for the church of his day and I think the more we study this letter, you're going to see how much this letter (and the Bible as a whole) transcends time and speaks to all peoples in all walks of life.

Today, I'm going to just give you the background and 30,000 foot flyover of the letter and this will help us lay the foundation so that when we get into the thick of it next week, we will already have the correct lenses on and be able to see it in context.
