We all face times of doubt and uncertainty. It was no different for the believers in John’s day. John writes this passage to bring some encouragement and reassurance to them in times of doubt.

John describes how that as a Christ follower we can know love and know that we belong to Jesus. That’s what this podcast will discuss.

John gives us a very tough passage here where he states if we do not have the love of Jesus in us and showing through us we are murderers. Does this apply to you and me? How do we handle this passage? That’s what this podcast will discuss.

John is going to talk about where our heart lies, with God or being dominated by self. He will go back to the example of Cain and show how that our decisions are always a choice and matter of where our heart aligns: with God or self.

John is continuing with the distinguishing marks of a Christ follower by pointing to love and a lack of love. He is going to talk about envy as that lack of love. I believe that envy is an “under the radar” sin that more people struggle with than will admit. That’s what this podcast will discuss.

John will talk about the difference between a real believer and a religious believer. There should be characteristics in our life that shows we belong to Jesus, not religion. That’s what this podcast will discuss.

John has been showing how Satan uses deception. Now John will show what it means to be truly saved. But what does that mean? How do we know if we are truly saved? That’s what this podcast will discuss.

I continue in the passage from 1st John where he is warning them about the deception of the devil. This podcast will continue to look into how Satan is still using deception as his greatest tool against mankind.

John is going to share with the young believers the importance of not being deceived. The question comes to mind about our current state; are we deceived? This podcast will look at this question.

In this passage John will begin to discuss the tool of deception used by the enemy. One of the ways that the believers in John’s day, as well as us today, are deceived, is by sin. This podcast will discuss how the deception of misunderstanding sin is harming us.
