Your response to my request to break 100,000 downloads has been overwhelming (103,493 downloads and counting)! If this rate continues, we’ll average over 3000 listeners per month! That’s the equivalent of offering the in-person study 3 times every day. I am grateful and I hope you are enjoying the 11-week series on 1 John we started in February.
Podcasts
- Final talk in series: 14 2 Peter 3:10-18 The Second coming and what it means for today Peter concludes the letter by discussing the end of the age, the return of Christ and what that tells us about how we should live now.
- 01 1 John 1:1-4: The Word of Life In his preface, John argues the apostles are the only reliable source of information about the way to gain eternal life because they were intimate eye-witnesses to the life, ministry and teaching of Jesus.
- 02 1 John 1:5-10: God is Light John begins his summary of the true gospel by saying God is completely good (light). Therefore genuine believers: 1) will not pursue sin as a lifestyle; 2) will not deny their sinfulness; and 3) will not call sinful actions right.
- 03 1 John 2:1-11: Abide in Christ How should we handle theological disagreements among believers? What issues are so critically important that we should draw a line? And, on what issues should we agree to disagree? John gives us a place to draw the line.
