In these verses, John tells us that Jesus came to rescue us from our sinfulness and to destroy the work of the devil.

John gives us a spiritual paternity test to see if we are the children of God or the children of the devil. Do we live: My life for me or my life for others?

We all want to know where we belong, but whose family resemblance do our daily lives actually show? Today Pastor Alan and Ed Upton dive into 1 John 3 for a spiritual paternity test to see if we are living for ourselves like Cain, or laying down our lives for others like Christ.

In a world full of deception, John warns us to be careful, be Christ-centered, and be confident.

In these verses, we see that we can have hope in a broken world through the security of our status in Jesus and the certainty of His coming.

This weeks episode Pastor Alan, Pastor Ed Upton and Mark Herzlich discuss 1 John 2:18-27. In a world full of voices promising deeper truth, this week we explore how easily we can drift from what we once knew was true. Walking through 1 John 2, we uncover John’s warning, the weapon God has given every believer, and the simple way to stay anchored: abiding in the Word and the Spirit.
