The Epistle of 1 John – Chapters 3 & 4 – Audio
After a hiatus, we’re back teaching on the first epistle of John. Aimed at the heretical Gnostics and Docetics, the epistle is like a litmus test for Christians. It is also a deep look at the heart of God. Lord bless you!

This talk spends time comparing scriptures that talk about the New Covenant, with commentary on why it matters so much. May the Lord bless you!
