1 John: Episode 16: Under the Porch Light: Sin

1 John: Episode 20: Love Me, love My Kids

How does loving others prove that I love God? In 1 John 5:1–5, John ties together everything he's been teaching about assurance. Faith in Christ, love for God's people, joyful obedience, and overcoming the world are not separate spiritual achievements—they are the natural fruit of being born of God. Join us as we discover why God's family resemblance reveals the reality of our faith and why those who belong to Christ can live as overcomers in a world full of competing voices.

1 John: Epidode 19: Love vs. Fear

What would your life look like if fear was no longer in control? What if you truly believed you were fully known, fully forgiven, and fully loved by God? In 1 John 4:17–21, John reveals that fear and love move in opposite directions—and that perfect love doesn’t just comfort fear… it casts it out. Join us on the Back Porch as we discover how the agape love of God brings assurance, security, and freedom through Jesus Christ.

1 John: Episode 18: Agape: 1 John 4:7-16

What if love is far more than emotion, attraction, or acceptance? In this episode of Back Porch Bible, we uncover the powerful meaning of biblical agape—the self-giving love of God that moved toward sinners through Jesus Christ and still transforms hearts today. Journey with us through First Epistle of John 4:7–16 as we confront modern distortions of love, discover why truth and love can never be separated, and learn how abiding in God produces a love strong enough to sacrifice, forgive, and endure. If you’ve ever wondered what real love actually looks like, this episode will challenge and encourage you deeply.

1 John: Episode 17: Test the Spirits

How do you recognize the voice of truth when so many spiritual voices sound convincing? In 1 John 4:1–6, John warns believers to test the spirits while reminding us that we do not stand alone—the Spirit of God within us is greater than the spirit of the world.
