This message from pastor Micah walks you through what Scripture says about recognizing the Spirit of Truth and exposing the spirit of error. It shows how the world responds to truth, how believers test the spirits, and why our confidence must stay anchored in the Word of God. It invites viewers to think clearly about what voices they trust and how they can stay grounded in Christ in a confused culture.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES 1 John 4:1 to 6, 1 John 4:20, 1 John 4:5, 1 John 4:4, 1 John 4:2 to 3, 1 John 1:6, 2 John 1 to 4, 3 John 1 to 8, 2 Timothy 3:16 to 17, 2 Timothy 2:15, John 15:18 to 20, Psalm 138:2, Proverbs 16:18, Matthew 5:27 to 28, 2 Corinthians 11:13 to 15, 1 Thessalonians 5:19 to 22, Ephesians 4:14 to 15Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Send us a textWhat if love didn't start with your effort but with God's presence moving toward you? This guided, unhurried reading of 1 John 4:7–21 explores a radical claim—God is love—and shows how that truth can steady anxious hearts, transform relationships, and make faith visible in everyday life.We walk through the text line by line, hearing how the sending of Jesus redefines love as concrete and self-giving. Together we consider why living in love means living in God, how the Spirit anchors our assurance, and what it looks like to “live like Jesus” in the world. The passage dismantles the fear of punishment, replacing it with confidence rooted in perfect love that drives out fear. Then it turns the spotlight on practice: if we say we love God, we must love the people we can see—especially the difficult ones. That challenge is not a burden to earn approval but an overflow of being loved first.Along the way, we pause for reflection. What is your picture of God? How does that picture shape your capacity to receive love and extend it to others? With a simple invitation to open your hands and welcome a fresh touch of grace, this episode blends scripture, stillness, and honest questions that lead to action. If you've been craving a faith that feels less like striving and more like abiding, these words offer both clarity and comfort.Listen and share with someone who needs courage today. If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review to help others find it, and tell us: where do you want perfect love to quiet fear in your life?Support the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Support the show: Your Donation Matters Leave a review and rate the podcast: WRITE A REVIEW Make a tax-deductible donation through Heartlift International Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

1 John 4 pt8 - Knowing God's Love.mp3 by Ray Jensen

We want to do Christmas Together. We want to draw close to God and also to each other. We would love for you to join us!

All of us feel the pressure to perform — to create the perfect moment, the perfect gift, the perfect memory. But in 1 John 4, we see a better story. Love doesn't start with us; Love Moves because God moved toward us first. Love costs because Jesus paid the ultimate price. And love frees because perfect love casts out fear. If you've ever wondered what God's love really does in an everyday life like yours, this message is for you. Let's slow down, breathe deep, and remember the love that changes everything. ✝️ Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona. We desire to engage culture, uphold truth and love people. In a world where life can be heavy and confusing, we want to cover the hard truths - with grace. This is difficulty and messy - and so are we - but the love of Jesus meets us in our mess. Our rhythm is to gather to worship on Sunday and then scatter during the week to love, live and lead together. We are imperfect people moved by the perfect love of Jesus. Come as you are. Experience His love.

1 John 4 pt2 - Test The Spirits by Ray Jensen

Today is the first of December… how does that make you feel?  

Pastor Craig Hall teaches from the Bible this Sunday morning service from Calvary Chapel Fortuna.

This week, Caleb Cox unpacks 1 John 4 through four key themes: God's nature as love, the non-negotiable call to love one another, how Jesus makes the invisible God visible, and how the cross frees us from fear while deepening our reverence.

Welcome to Day 2739 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2739– A Confident Life – The Supremacy of Love – 1 John 4:7-21 Putnam Church Message – 10/19/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “The Supremacy of Love "   Last week, we continued through the letter of 1 John and explored how to have “A Discerning Life: Distinguishing Truth from Error.” This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will explore how to have “A Confident Life: The Supremacy of Love” from 1 John 4:7-21 from the NIV, which is found on page 1902 of your Pew Bibles. Love One Another  7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. Opening Prayer If I were to say, “Turn to the ‘love chapter' in the New Testament,” most people would probably flip straight to 1 Corinthians 13. That “ode to love” has earned the honorific title “Love Chapter” for a reason. Its thirteen verses mention agapē eight times. And its poetic description of selfless love is fit for framing: 4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

He breaks down the Requirements to Love, the Reason to Love, and the Revelation of Love as shown in this passage, and why love isn't what we do but who we are.Finally, He talks about the importance of examining what we believe about Jesus, and how our pattern of love should match the pattern of our Savior.

John continues in his letter warning believers against false prophets, saying that those who do not confess Christ, and that he has come in the flesh, are not from God. Simply put, John says that those who oppose the teaching of the apostles are of the world and should not be believed. Rather, the apostles teaching should be believed, and those who believe it are from God. This may sound self-aggrandizing, but John is one of the twelve apostles appointed by Jesus, one who walked with him, learned from him broke bread with him, who witnessed his miracles, and who saw his resurrected body. John goes on to encourage the church to love one another with the kind of love that comes from the Father, by the Spirit, through the Son. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Welcome to Day 2731 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2731– A Discerning Life – Distinguishing Truth from Error – 1 John 4:1-6 Putnam Church Message – 10/12/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “Distinguishing Truth from Error "   Last week, we continued through the letter of 1 John and explored how to have “A Discerning Life: Not Like Cain, But Like Christ!" This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will explore how to have “Distinguishing Truth from Error” from 1 John 4:1-6 from the NIV, which is found on page 1902 of your Pew Bibles. Discerning False Prophets 4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ>has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth and the spirit of falsehood. Opening Prayer Some statements of Scripture haunt us. If we were to dwell on them too long, meditate on them too deeply, or obsess over them too frequently, they would keep us awake at night. It is much like most news sources and social media posts. We must determine truth from error. They warn of impending trouble for believers and alarming developments for the church. The following passages together paint a pretty bleak picture of the deteriorating world around us: “You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.” ( 24:9) “And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people.” ( 24:11) “Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold.” ( 24:12) “For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones.” ( 24:24) “The time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.” (John 16:2) “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” (John...
