How do we know who is one of us and who isn't?

John unpacks a lot, and hopefully today's study will save you from some undeserved guilt and fear.

In this week's video we look at what an antichrist actually is and why it's probably not what you think.

John answers the question 'how do we know we're Christians?' 

We are forgiven before we sin through the cross. But we are still sinners. How does that play out in our real lives?

1 John reads like a sermon more than a letter. But why write it in the first place?

Author, audience, and purpose. You need to know these about anything you read, especially when you're reading Holy Scripture written 2000 years ago on the other side of the planet in a language you probably don't know.

There's no room for mooching in the church. Why would someone do that?

Paul asks for prayer from a bunch of new Christians? Why? And how does that give us the courage to overcome our anxiety?
