Have you ever been scammed? Or do you know someone who has?

It doesn't feel good. And beyond that, in some cases it can lead to absolute financial ruin.
But even more devastating than being ruined financially is being duped by false teachers into
believing incorrect things about God, Jesus, or yourself.

False teaching can tear apart churches, destroy marriages... and wreak havoc on your spiritual
life. So how can you be on guard against being led astray?

The Apostle John recognizes the dangers of false teaching and calls these kinds of teachers
antichrists in the letter of 1 John.

See how abiding in Jesus helps give you discernment so you can be alert to what's false.

Inside this episode:
• Be warned of the danger that false teaching poses to the Christian's life
• Understand how John's warnings against "antichrists" are still relevant today
• See how the Holy Spirit can bring discernment to your life so you can evaluate truth
from error

Discover how you can be on guard against antichrists, so you can keep yourself and others
around you from being deceived

One of the simplest and most important instructions in the Bible...

...is also one of the hardest.

It's to LOVE.

How can you practice love in tangible ways—when sometimes, if you're honest, you find your heart more inclined toward irritation... and even hatred?

Listen in as David, Adam, Corina, and Rachel dive into 1 John 2:7-17, and discover...

• How love is to be a hallmark of your Christian life
• How you can love even though your flesh's tendency may be to hate
• What you are NOT to love

Dive in and see how love totally transforms everything about how you relate to other believers, and to the world.

What does it mean to walk in the light?

And what do we do with the reality of our sin?

In this first episode of Season 4, we begin our study of 1 John by exploring the contrast between light and darkness and the hope we have in Jesus.

David, Adam, Rachel, and Corina walk through 1 John 1:1–2:6 and explore:

• How John describes his firsthand experience with Jesus
• Why truth matters in the face of false teaching
• What Scripture teaches about light and darkness
• Why we cannot claim to be without sin
• How can you let the light of Christ change the way you respond to your own sin
• What it practically looks like to walk in the light

Walk in the light, where grace and truth meet.
