In Lesson 17 of the We Know series, host Timothy Agee dives into 1 John 4:1–6 to explore Apostle John’s crucial exhortation to "test the spirits." Building on the end of chapter 3 regarding the indwelling Holy Spirit, Timothy explains how early Gnostic false teachings threatened the early church and details the two-directional test presented in the text: evaluating our own walk in the Spirit of truth versus identifying false prophets operating in the spirit of error. Drawing connections to Philippians 1, 2 Timothy 4, and Acts 2:38, this episode emphasizes the vital need for scriptural knowledge and discernment to recognize truth, resist worldly compromise, and rest in the assurance that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.

In Lesson 16 of the "We Know" series on First John, host Timothy Agee finishes our look at chapter 3 (verses 19–24) of this great letter. Timothy explores how believers can gain assurance and reassure their hearts before God by demonstrating active, sacrificial love (agape) through tangible deeds rather than mere words. The episode breaks down key biblical themes, including finding comfort in God's omniscience during seasons of guilt and self-doubt, understanding true belief as obedience rather than superficial agreement, and relying on the Holy Spirit as the seal and guarantee of a believer's walk with Christ.

In Lesson 10 of the We Know series on 1 John, host Timothy Agee continues with part 2 of our look at 1 John 2:18–29, focusing on the Apostle John’s urgent warning regarding antichrists and the "last hour." Exploring the historic and biblical context of false teachers—particularly early Gnosticism—this episode clarifies that "antichrist" refers to a plurality of deceivers who deny that Jesus is the Christ, rather than a single, future figure. Through scripture comparisons in Matthew, 1 Timothy, and 2 Thessalonians, Timothy breaks down how these deceivers abandoned the true fellowship to lead others astray, offering timeless insights on holding fast to gospel truth against modern deception.

In Lesson 9 of the We Know series, host Timothy Agee dives into 1 John 2:18–29 to examine John’s warnings concerning "antichrists" within the early church. The episode explores what John meant by writing that it is the "last hour," clearing up common misunderstandings about the imminency of Christ's return by connecting John’s words to Jesus’s teachings in Matthew 23–25. Students will learn how these warnings challenge gnostic false doctrines, why John urges believers to "confess the Son" and "abide in Him," and what it truly means to live in the final era of God's redemptive plan.
