Walking in the Light by Lighthouse Baptist Church | Williamsport, MD

No one has ever seen God. So how does an unseen God become known? This message from 1 John 4:7-21 traces the answer through the sacrifice of Christ and through the love believers show one another, a love that also drives out the fear of judgment. Part of the Walking in the Light series through 1 John, from First Reformed Church (EPC) in Edgerton, Minnesota.

This week's message in the "Walking in the Light" series through 1 John is "Listening to the Voice of Truth," from 1 John 4:1-6. John warns the church to test the spirits rather than believing every voice claiming spiritual authority, gives a simple test rooted in the confession of Christ come in the flesh, and assures believers that the one who is in them is greater than the one who is in the world.

What does it mean to truly live in partnership with God? In 1 John 1:5-10, guest speaker Crawford Loritts explores God's perfect standard of holiness, humanity's inadequate response to sin, and the life-changing invitation to repentance. Discover why walking in the light begins with honest confession and how God's grace leads to forgiveness, restoration, and deeper fellowship with Him.

Newer is usually better. Cameras, phones, and TVs have all improved dramatically over the decades. But there's one message John says was never in need of an upgrade: love one another. In this episode, we look at 1 John 3:11-24, where John contrasts the hatred of Cain with the sacrificial love shown at the cross, and shows how that love becomes evidence of a settled conscience before God.

Walking in the Light (Ephesians 5:3-14) Steve Arthur, Church Elder

If God is light and there's no darkness in him, what does that mean for the parts of our lives we keep carefully hidden? We start with John's insistence that Christian faith is grounded in the real, historical Jesus someone people heard, saw, and touched not a theory, not a vibe, and not something we can outsource to a more “spiritual” person.Then we lean into 1 John 1:7 and the surprising link John makes between walking in the light and real fellowship. When a community is fractured by spiritual elitism, arrogance, or image management, the fix isn't better religious performance. It's truth that reaches our motives, fears, habits, wounds, and failures. We talk about why genuine Christian community can't be built on carefully managed versions of ourselves, and how trust grows when people can say “I was wrong,” “you hurt me,” and “I forgive you,” then commit to the work of repair.We also draw a hard line between gospel grace and self help. Confession and honesty matter, but they don't cleanse us. John points us to the center: the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Walking in the light doesn't mean perfection; it means we stop hiding and bring our whole lives into the truth and grace of God.

Part of the "Walking in the Light" series through 1 John. This week's message asks what it looks like to truly belong to God's family — not proving it to get in, but living in light of it because you're already in. From confidence at Christ's appearing, to the wonder of being called children of God, to the practical evidence of a purified life, this passage shows how hope for the future reshapes obedience today.

What does it mean to hold fast to the truth when false teaching creeps in from within the church itself? This message works through 1 John 2:18-27, tracing John's warning about the "antichrists" of his day, his encouragement that believers already have what they need to stand firm, and his repeated call to abide in Christ.

What does it mean to love the world — and why does John say we must not? In this week's sermon from 1 John 2:15–17, Pastor Mark Groen works through John's three-part diagnosis of worldly desire: the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life. He names the sins we have made respectable — comfort, acquisition, comparison, self-sufficiency — and then turns to the positive vision of verse 17: whoever does the will of God abides forever. Part of the ongoing series "Walking in the Light" through 1 John at First Reformed Church in Edgerton, Minnesota.

Wisdom, folly, light and dark. There are some big themes in this next chunk of the letter, as we continue to apply all that we've been taught so far in Ephesians.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Walking in the Light (Ephesians 5: 8-14)Welcome back, friends. It's a joy to have you with me again as we continue our time together working through Paul's magnificent letter to the Ephesians. A letter that has been guiding us step by step through what it means to live out our calling in Christ.  We've already explored what it means to: Walk in unity,Walk in truth,Walk in honesty,Walk in kindness,Walk in forgiveness,And walk in love. And now, Paul takes us into one of the most beautiful and profound metaphors in the entire New Testament — the call to walk in the light. Light and darkness are among the Bible's most powerful images. From the opening words of Genesis, “Let there be light,” to the final chapters of Revelation where “the Lamb is its lamp”, Scripture uses light to describe God's presence, God's purity, God's truth, and God's transforming power. So today, we're going to explore what it means to be “light in the Lord.”How the light of Christ changes us, how we live as children of light, and how the light exposes, heals, and transforms everything it touches….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

In this week's sermon from 1 John 2:7–14, Pastor Mark Groen works through John's claim that the command to love is both ancient and new — fulfilled and illuminated by Christ. The passage moves from theological foundation to pointed conviction to surprising gospel comfort, as John reminds his readers that even in their failure to love, they are forgiven, known by the Father, and overcomers in Christ. A challenging and encouraging word for every believer.

Sin rightly deserves the wrath of God — so where does that wrath land? In this message on 1 John 2:1-6, we explore two essential words: advocate and propitiation. Jesus stands as our righteous advocate before the Father, and as the one who propitiated — turned aside — the wrath we deserved, bearing it himself. This is good news that fuels a daily call to holiness.

In this concluding episode, David Wollen examines what Jesus meant by those words and why walking closely with Him is essential for every believer seeking to walk by faith without stumbling.

What happens when a patient refuses to accept his doctor's diagnosis? In this week's message from 1 John 1:5–10, Pastor Mark Groen uses that image to open up what John teaches about sin, self-deception, and the grace of God. God is light — perfectly holy, with no darkness in him. That truth exposes us. But John doesn't leave us there. He points us to the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin, and to a God who is faithful and just to forgive everyone who confesses. A timely word for anyone tempted to minimize their sin or doubt God's willingness to forgive.

As we continue our study through the book of 1 John, Sunday's passage begins to unveil John's evidences written to give believers God-ordained grounds for assurance of eternal life. After false teachers left the church and caused some to doubt the sufficiency of the gospel, John writes to show his readers the evidence of genuine salvation. Throughout the book, John will circle around three categories of evidence: (broadly stated) right doctrine, obedience, and love. In 1 John 1:5–2:2, having just said that the message of life gives fellowship with the Father and the Son, John explains what this fellowship looks like and what it does not. He calls this "walking in the light" (v. 7), but explains that it is not about doing better or being good, but acknowledging and confessing sin and trusting in Jesus, who is cleansing us from all sin (v. 7; 9). Christians only walk in the light (as John says) because of the transforming work God does in those He saves through the gospel. The main point is that fellowship with God results in a life of growing holiness, requires honest acknowledgment of our sin, and is possible only through Jesus Christ our advocate and propitiation. I. Fellowship With God Results In A Life Growing In Holiness (v. 5-7) II. Fellowship With God Requires Acknowledging Our Sin (v. 8-10) III. Fellowship With God Only Come Through Our Savior (2:1-2)

What is Christianity actually about? In this opening message of our series on 1 John, Pastor Mark begins where John begins: with eyewitness testimony. John declares that he and the other apostles heard, saw, and touched the Word of Life — and that claim was not made in a corner. It was a public proclamation of a real Savior who entered history in an actual human body.Drawing on the historical context of early Gnosticism, which denied the goodness of the physical world and infiltrated the early church like a parasite, this sermon unpacks why the bodily reality of Jesus matters so much. Our deepest problem isn't a lack of enlightenment — it's sin before a holy God. And our only hope is the real, historical, bodily work of Jesus Christ, testified to by eyewitnesses and proclaimed so that our joy may be complete.

This weeks episode Pastor Alan, Pastor Ed Upton and Pastor Thomas Keys, III discuss 1 John 1:9n and unpack what confession really means, why hiding only keeps us stuck, and how the cross of Christ proves that God's mercy is real and His forgiveness is sure. So come out of the shadows, run to the light, and join us as we talk about the freedom, cleansing, and confidence we have in Jesus.

True joy is found when we stop hiding in the darkness and walk in the light of Jesus.

As we begin a study of John's letters, we consider a struggle for many Christians: can I really know I am saved? And how does 1 John 1 chapter 1 help us with that question?

What does it really mean to “walk in the light”? In 1 John 1, the apostle John invites us into a deeper, more honest kind of faith—one where we stop hiding and start bringing our lives fully into the light of God. This message explores: • Why Jesus is the foundation of true community • The difference between knowing truth and living it • What it means that “God is light” • Why hiding sin keeps us stuck • How confession leads to real freedom • The incredible promise that Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness The invitation of this passage is simple but powerful: Stop pretending. Stop hiding. Step into the light. Because in the light, there is forgiveness, healing, and a deeper kind of joy.

How does a person go from walking in the darkness to walking in the light? It has nothing to do with the sun.In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker digs deep into 1 John chapters 1 and 2 to uncover what the apostle John wrote about walking in the light.If you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your support?

The Apostle John is elderly and living in Ephesus. A new wave of false doctrine is slamming into the church. He writes this letter as eyewitness testimony, calling believers to walk in the light, and reminding them of the certainty of Christ.
