What makes someone a real Christian? The apostle John wrote his first letter to a church that had been shaken, believers who watched trusted leaders walk away from the faith and were left wondering if they were truly saved. In this overview of 1 John, we trace the heart of the letter: the eternal Word of life who was heard, seen, and touched, the God who took on flesh, was crucified for sinners, and rose again.

We'll look at the false teaching John confronts, the three tests he gives for genuine faith (belief, love, and obedience), and why getting Jesus right is the most important question you'll ever answer. John wrote it all down for one reason: so that our joy may be complete.

Text: 1 John 1:1-4 (CSB)

In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul finishes his appeal to the Corinthians about giving—and he refuses to guilt them into it. Instead, he points them to a God who supplies the seed, multiplies the harvest, and delights in a cheerful giver. This is generosity that flows from grace, not pressure: we give freely because God has first given freely to us. And when we do, our giving doesn't just meet needs—it overflows in thanksgiving to God, ending where all of it begins, with his indescribable gift in Christ.

We're starting with who God is. In Romans 8:31-39, we'll see the God who holds nothing back, who gave His Son to redeem us, and whose radical generosity in redemption produces radical generosity in His people.

Discover how steadfast faith in Jesus transforms pain into perseverance and points us to the ultimate hope of the gospel, the crown of life promised to all who love Him.

"What do we do now?" That's the desperate question from a crowd who just realized they killed the Messiah. Peter's answer in Acts 2:38—"Repent and be baptized"—reveals something stunning about God's saving grace. Baptism isn't optional obedience you can delay indefinitely. It's not a solo act we passively observe. It's your public declaration that you've died to sin, been raised to new life in Christ, and united yourself to His people. There are no secret disciples in the kingdom of God.
