The Message from the Beginning | 1 John 3:11-24 | This Week’s Devotions
This week's devotions follow up on Sunday's message from 1 John 3:11-24, where John points believers back to the oldest command there is: love one another. Each day works through a different angle of that call, starting with Cain's warning, moving through what it means to have passed from death to life, and landing on the confidence that belongs to those who love in deed and truth rather than word alone. The readings pair 1 John with passages from across Scripture, Genesis, the Gospels, Romans, Hebrews, to help you see how deep this thread runs. If you missed Sunday's sermon or want to revisit it before diving into this week's devotions, you can watch it here.
Abide in Him | 1 John 2:18-27 | This Week’s Devotions
This week's devotional turns to a passage that names something believers have always had to reckon with: opposition to the truth does not only come from outside the church, it can rise up from within it. John's readers had already watched people walk away from the faith, and he doesn't soften what that departure revealed. But he doesn't leave them there either. He reminds them of what they already possess, the anointing of the Spirit and the truth they were taught from the beginning, and calls them to a single, steady response: abide.
Old Commandment Made New | 1 John 2:7-14 | The Week’s Devotions
In 1 John 2:7–14, the Apostle John delivers what sounds like a contradiction — the commandment he gives is both old and new. In this week's sermon, Old Commandment Made New, we explored how Christ remastered the ancient command to love one another, bringing it into full light, and how that same light exposes the darkness of hatred in our hearts while flooding us with gospel assurance. This week's devotions take you deeper into the passage, tracing the love command from Leviticus through the teaching of Jesus, examining what hatred does to the soul, and pointing you toward the community that love creates.
God is Light | 1 John 1:5-10 | This Week’s Devotions
This week's sermon from 1 John 1:5–10 confronts us with a truth we are tempted to soften: God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. That declaration is not background theology — it is the foundation of everything John says about sin, confession, and forgiveness. The five devotions below are designed to help you sit with that passage through the week, drawing on the broader witness of Scripture to deepen what you heard on Sunday. If you missed the sermon or want to revisit it before you begin, you can watch or listen here.
