https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading takes us to 1 John 2, where John reminds believers that the goal of grace is holiness. When we sin, we do not look to our innocence—we look to our Advocate, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is our propitiation, the sacrifice who fully satisfied God's righteous judgment against sin. You cannot out-sin the cross.1 John 2 reminds us that if we know Him, we should walk like Him; if we walk in the light, we should love His people; and if we have heard the gospel, we must let it remain in us. The Spirit will never lead us beyond biblical truth—He leads us deeper into it. So today, read 1 John 2 and abide until you see Him: love the Word, recognize the lie, reject the world, and walk in the light.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! Today we journey through Jeremiah 21, 24, and 27, Psalm 118, and 1 John 2. Jeremiah speaks to people facing exile, upheaval, and the collapse of the world they once knew. Psalm 118 calls us to take refuge in the steadfast love of God, while 1 John warns against becoming consumed by the cravings of the world. Today's devotion considers how the endless pursuit of pleasure, possessions, recognition, and achievement leaves us empty. Christ offers another way, a life that moves beyond the self and finds lasting meaning through humble love, service, generosity, and communion with God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Cravings. We all have them. The world stirs up cravings for physical pleasure, possessions, pride, recognition, and achievement. But cravings are never satisfied for long. They always demand more. When we build our lives around them, we become stuck in an endless cycle. We crave, consume, experience a moment of satisfaction, and then find ourselves empty again. The more we crave, the more hollow life can become. John points us toward another way, one made possible by the presence of Christ within us. Because Christ lives in you, you are not trapped inside a life centered entirely on yourself. You can participate in a life that moves beyond self-indulgence toward love, service, generosity, joy, and meaning. The life of Christ breaks the cycle of craving, emptiness, shame, and despair. And Christ's life in us is not always expressed through dramatic or spectacular accomplishments. More often, it appears through ordinary acts of love. Being kind. Sharing with someone in need. Listening carefully. Encouraging another person's gifts. Offering your own gifts without needing recognition. Choosing humility over pride. These small and common expressions of love are signs of the life of Christ working within us. This is where true satisfaction is found, not in feeding every desire, but in participating in the self-giving life of Jesus. The cravings of the world may be strong, but something far stronger is available to you. Christ in you, your hope and your glory. May you find your satisfaction in him today. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Many times, when we see someone making poor choices or walking down the wrong path, we hesitate to say anything. We worry that we'll come across as harsh or judgmental. But before we speak, we should examine our hearts and ask ourselves: Am I speaking from pride, or from genuine love and concern for them? Today, Pastor Mark reminds you that lovingly speaking the truth is not the same as condemning someone. Real love doesn't enable destructive behavior; it points people toward Jesus and the truth of God's Word. When correction comes from the heart, it isn't self-righteous judgment… It's biblical discernment spoken in love.

When you have kids, you know that as they grow, it's not just physically, but mentally too. When they're just toddlers, they don't have a lot of responsibilities, but as they grow, they need to learn how to function and become responsible. That's how it is when people become Christians, too. They need to learn to grow up. In today's message, Pastor Mark encourages you to develop good spiritual habits by reading and following the Word of God. When you come to Christ, you don't come as an adult but as a baby in a new world. That's why you need the Word of God, not just for guidance, but for the spiritual growth of all who desire to follow Jesus.

When we fall into sin, we think we're the only ones who can get us out. But the reality is that God doesn't want us to only rely on ourselves, but to seek Him through all of our lives. The Bible tells us to lean not on our own understanding but to trust in the Lord with all of our heart. This is the first step to being free from the world. In today's message, Pastor Mark encourages us to seek Jesus not only in our trials but through every season of life. With Jesus, we can be free from all things. He gives us the strength to move forward, to keep our eyes on Him, and to change the desires of our hearts. Seeking Jesus is the first step to the rest of your life.

We live in a world where we can't always control what happens to us. Some days are filled with joy, while others bring pain, disappointment, and hardship. And when we allow those experiences to shape our outlook on life, they can also affect our walk with God and the way we treat others within the body of Christ. In today's message, Pastor Mark encourages us to forgive those who have wronged us and place our pain in God's hands. Forgiveness isn't always easy, especially when the wounds run deep, but that's why we need Jesus more than ever. Through prayer and growing closer to Him, God can heal our hearts and help us move forward. 

In this life, many people focus on certain parts of the Bible while ignoring the passages that challenge them. Unfortunately, this has led many believers to adopt worldly views rather than allowing God's Word to shape them. But that's not the message John gave to the early church, nor is it the message God has for us today. In today's message, Pastor Mark reminds us that when we give our lives to Jesus Christ, we are called to submit ourselves to the whole counsel of God's Word. We don't get to pick and choose which truths are convenient. Instead, we are called to trust God completely and allow His Word to shape our way of thinking.

Amy Wolff continues into 1John and talks about who sways our faith.

Many times in life, we ask ourselves questions like, "What is the meaning of life? What is our purpose? Why are we here?” But what do any of those answers mean if we spend our lives apart from God? What good is chasing purpose while remaining separated from the One who created us for a relationship with Him? In today's message, Pastor Mark wants you to know that if you are breathing right now, God is giving you an opportunity to come to Him. The Bible tells us that God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him would not perish but have everlasting life. Choose Jesus Christ today.

Isn't it amazing to know that we serve a God who truly cares for us? A God who wants what is best for our lives and desires a deep, personal relationship with us? God did not create us to be mindless beings simply going through the motions. He created us with the ability to know Him, love Him, and choose Him, as He first chose us. In today's message, Pastor Mark reminds us that when the enemy attacks, we don't have to listen to his lies. Our identity is found in the Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him, we are redeemed, forgiven, and being sanctified day by day. Not because of anything we have done, but because of what Jesus already accomplished for us.

“The Family Resemblance” 1 John 2:28-3:10Pastor Gary Morello

As we continue our journey through 1 John, this Sunday we arrive at a passage many consider among the most unsettling verses in the New Testament. John writes because some had left the fellowship while still claiming the name of Christ, chasing a different gospel and a different view of Jesus. He wants true believers to know that they possess eternal life and perfect acceptance with God through Jesus' death and resurrection alone. To that end, he repeatedly calls his readers to recognize the evidences of their salvation. In 1 John 2:28-3:10, John presents the clear marks that distinguish the children of God from those who belong to the devil. But as we enter this passage, we must carry forward the point of last week's passage, 1 John 2:18-27. There, John called his readers to abide in Jesus, and we examined what he meant: abiding means remaining, or resting, in the “word you heard from the beginning” and in “the anointing you received.” Now, 1 John 2:28-3:10 shows that abiding, or holding to our faith in the gospel, produces both a settled identity as God's children and a life that increasingly resembles our Father. This matters because John says things like, “No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God” (1 John 3:9). The only commands in this passage are to “abide in Him” (v. 28) and to “let no one deceive you” (3:7). Everything else John presents is evidence, not a checklist of works we must do in order to abide in Him. The heart of the message is this: our confidence at Christ's return rests on God's gospel love, which has already made us God's children, and the evidence of that settled fact is the transformed life the gospel inevitably produces. Therefore, if we do not see the “family resemblance” of God's children in our lives, the solution is not simply to try harder not to sin; the solution is to trust in Jesus, that is, to abide in Him. As you prepare for Sunday, re-read 1 John 2:18-27 alongside 2:28-3:10. Read the passage repeatedly and become familiar with John's exact wording, because I will need to move quickly to work through the whole passage in one sitting. Verses 2:28-29 function as a thesis statement. John says two things: abide in Him and you will have confidence at His coming, and everyone who practices righteousness has been born of God. Then, in 3:1-3, John proves the first point: as God's children, we have confidence at Christ's coming. In 3:4-10, he proves the second point: everyone who practices righteousness has been born of God. So we will examine John's arguments first (3:1-10), then end with his declaration (2:28-29). I. Our Confidence If We Abide In Him: Transformed Identity (3:1-3) II. Our Evidence Of Abiding In Him: The Transformed Life (3:4-10) III. Our Calling: Abide In Him (2:28-29)

For God's people, loving one another is both a very ancient command, and a new law which takes on greater prominence because of the Gospel. The Gospel truly does change everything. A Sermon preached by Brother Rylan at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN

How do you remain faithful to Jesus in a world filled with deception, distraction, and doubt? In 1 John 2:26–29, we discover that God has not left us to navigate the Christian life on our own. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, every believer is able to remain in Christ with confidence. As we explore four truths about the Spirit, we'll see that our security rests not in our own strength, but in God's faithful work within us.

How do you know you have eternal life? Sermon 20:57

“They went out from us, but they were not of us.” (v. 19). 1 John presents the God-given evidence of salvation to the readers. But this is not simply a theological or academic exercise. John is writing to hurting, worried Christians who had watched people they knew and loved walk away from the church (and the gospel) while still claiming to follow Jesus – the “real” Jesus. Understandably, the Christians were asking: Am I missing something? Is there a higher level of spirituality I haven't reached? Have these friends who I have looked up to found a key that will finally give me the strength and peace I'm looking for? John's answer is that believers already have everything they need in the simple gospel of Jesus Christ, and 1 John 2:18-27 explains this in depth. In this passage, John moves back and forth between describing those he calls antichrists and describing true believers. But keep v. 19 in mind as you read about these antichrists. They were not opponents of Christ who had risen outside the church. They had come from inside the church. John will remind us that opposition to Christ from within the visible church was foretold and shouldn't surprise us (v. 18), and he will explain how we can recognize these “anti-christs.” Finally, he calls us to rest secure in the gospel and the Holy Spirit's anointing rather than chasing something new. In Christ, you are not missing anything. The restlessness we feel isn't evidence God is withholding something further from us—it's often evidence we've grown weary and cold toward the gospel we already possess. John's charge to us is to abide in what we've already received rather than searching for what we think is missing. I. Recognize That Opposition Is Expected (v. 18) II. Recognize Those Who Are Anti-Christ (v. 19; 22-23) a. They Separate From the Body (v. 19) b. They Deny the Truth About Jesus (vv. 22-23) III. Rest In What You Have Received (vv. 20-27) a. The Holy Spirit's Anointing (vv. 20-21) b. The Word of the Gospel (vv. 24-25) c. Abide in Him (vv. 26-27)

1 John 2:7-11Series: 1 John Preacher: Zac SkillingCongregational MeetingDate: 19th July 2026Passage: 1 John 2:7-11

The sermon examines the believer's need for confidence when standing before the judgment seat of Christ, distinguishing between salvation acceptance and behavioral approval. It emphasizes that true discipleship requires stewardship of time, talent, and treasure, warning that lazy faith results in lost rewards despite eternal security. The speaker connects eschatological hope with present moral purity, arguing that the imminent return of Jesus should motivate holy living and resistance to cultural pressures. By contrasting the parable of the talents with modern apathy, the message urges believers to actively pursue righteousness rather than remaining spiritually stagnant. Ultimately, the central theme asserts that a life aligned with Christ's character ensures confidence at His coming, while compromise leads to shame.

This sermon warns believers against the seductive allure of a satanically controlled world system that opposes God. It defines this system through its characteristics, such as materialism, relativism, and narcissism, illustrating how these traits manifest in modern culture and even within the church. The speaker contrasts the temporary emptiness of worldly pursuits with the eternal satisfaction found in obedience to God's will. Using biblical typology from Genesis and Hebrews, the message encourages Christians to live as pilgrims focused on their heavenly homeland rather than settling for the comforts of this passing age. Ultimately, it calls for self-examination regarding one's true affections and a decisive choice to love God above all else.

This sermon warns believers about the pervasive threat of false teachers and the resulting spiritual apostasy in the last days. It identifies the core strategy of these antichrists as infiltrating churches to deny the person and work of Jesus Christ, thereby severing believers' fellowship with God. The preacher emphasizes that Christians are vulnerable when they harbor unconfessed sin or 'skeletons in the closet,' which demons exploit to lure them into error. To counter this danger, the message asserts the absolute sufficiency of Scripture and the illuminating ministry of the Holy Spirit for spiritual maturity. Believers are urged to rely solely on biblical truth rather than seeking secret knowledge or special anointings from human sources.

This sermon examines the test of obedience as a primary indicator of spiritual maturity and genuine fellowship with God. The preacher argues that true knowledge of Christ is demonstrated through keeping His commandments, which flows from a heart of love rather than mere factual awareness. Disobedience reveals a lack of authentic relationship and allows lies to hinder the transformative power of Scripture in a believer's life. The message emphasizes that God's love is perfected when believers extend sacrificial love to others, particularly by overcoming hatred and bitterness toward fellow Christians. Ultimately, believers are encouraged to stand firm in their positional victory in Christ, using this assurance to pursue obedience and supernatural love.
