how do I build confidence without ego?

the stuff actually works (1 John 3:11-4:6)

John replays the hits of challenge & comfort - along the way helping us examine if the guilt we sometimes feel comes from my condemning heart *or* God's convicting Spirit.

What's my place in God's family? (1 John 3:4-10)

my sin, my addictions, my phone and my place in God's family.

wonder (1 John 2:28-3:3)

Accumulate wonder at who you are because of Jesus.

antichrist & church (1 John 2:18-27)

worried about antichrist, end times, and not getting deceived about who's who? Stick with the good news, stick with church, & stick with Jesus by doing the first two.

Giving in (1 John 2:3-11, 15-17)

John puts believers through a legit examination - challenging us in the end to not give in.
