Podcasts about walking in the light

Ben Green

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.

Brian Wilfong - Walking in the Light Pt. 5

Beloved children of God, walk in sacrificial love and the light of repentance.

1 John confronts one of the greatest dangers in the Christian life: claiming to know God while becoming comfortable with darkness. In 1 John 1:5–10, John reminds us that God is light — perfectly holy, perfectly pure — and that real fellowship with Him means walking honestly before Him.Darkness rarely enters dramatically. More often, it creeps in quietly through compromise, excuses, blame, defensiveness, or treating grace lightly. And before long, sin starts to feel less serious than it really is.But this passage is not written to crush us — it's written to call us into the light. Because the invitation of the gospel is not to hide better, but to confess honestly. God does not meet confession with rejection, but with cleansing grace through Jesus Christ.The way out of darkness is not pretending we're fine. It's stepping into the light.

God is light, John tells us. Christ declared that He is the light of the world. If we are to enjoy fellowship with God, we must be walking in the light, because Christ is the light. What does it mean practically to be those who walk in the light? We consider the attitude, priorities and conduct of those who are now walking in the light, having entered into a relationship with Christ Jesus.

Walking in the Light Together | 1 John 1:7 | Pastor Will Cover

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.

In this message from Ephesians 5:1–21, Pastor Jim calls believers to live in light of their identity in Christ. Rather than a “holier than thou” mindset, this passage is a call to holiness rooted in being dearly loved children of God. Because believers are now light in the Lord, they are invited to live as children of light for the glory of God and the good of the world.The message centers on three movements: who we are, how we walk, and what it produces. Christians are no longer in darkness but have been made new, with minds awakened to truth and identity grounded in God's love. From that identity flows a new way of living, marked by sacrificial love, purity, gratitude, and being led by the Spirit rather than by flesh or cultural patterns.Pastor Jim emphasizes that holiness is not restrictive but life-giving. As believers live differently, through their actions, words, and relationships, they become a light that exposes darkness and points others toward God. This is not behavior modification but grace-driven obedience that reflects new creation life at work.

This episode explores the call to “Walk In The Light,” drawing from 1 John, Ephesians 5, to reveal how believers are meant to live in daily fellowship with God. Emphasizing that “God is light” and that there is no darkness in Him, the discussion highlights the importance of spiritual authenticity, holiness, and truth in the Christian walk. Listeners will learn how walking in the light transforms conduct, exposes sin, and produces spiritual fruit such as righteousness, goodness, and truth. The episode also unpacks practical ways to reflect Christ's light in everyday life—through obedience, time in God's Word, and separation from darkness—challenging believers to live transparently, shine in a dark world, and experience the fullness of joy found in a close relationship with Jesus Christ.DISCLAIMER: The transcription for this podcast episode was summarized using an AI tool with the purpose of quickly referencing audio content.

How does a person go from walking in the darkness to walking in the light?

In this message, Pastor Marcus walks through 1 John 1:5–2:17, revealing how true fellowship with God is seen in a life of confession, obedience, and love. He contrasts the emptiness of relationships shaped by the world with the depth and connection found in Christ. Through Jesus, we're invited to leave darkness behind and step into a life marked by truth and real fellowship.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260129dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion The darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light. 1 John 2:8-10 Walking in the Light Anyone who has spent too long cooped up in one place knows what cabin fever feels like. At first, it’s comfortable, safe, familiar, and predictable. But slowly, irritation creeps in. Small things start to bother us. Our patience shortens. Our perspective narrows. The walls begin to feel closer. What once felt like shelter starts to feel like confinement. Spiritually, cabin fever can happen, too. When people remain inward-focused and demonstrate by their attitudes and actions that they love themselves more than others, darkness closes in. Our hearts become disconnected from loving relationships with God and with others. That is what the apostle John addresses in our Bible reading when he says, “Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.” The best way to overcome cabin fever is to step out of your place of confinement, breathe in the fresh air again, and, best of all, go where the sun is shining. John reminds us that the true light is already shining. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, continues to shine the light of God’s mercy and forgiveness into our darkened hearts. The good news that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead in victory, enlightens our hearts to believe that God's love for us will overcome the darkness of evil. In the end, spiritual cabin fever fades when we remember that life in Christ was never meant to be lived in isolation or fear. His love replaces our impatience with peace. His Word and promise of life with him forever, replaces our weariness with renewed purpose—to love one another as Christ loved us. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light. Where Christ-like love is practiced, the darkness lifts, the cabin fever fades, and life opens up again. Prayer: Gracious Savior, you are the true Light shining in the darkness. Drive hatred and bitterness from my heart. Fill me with your mercy so that my life reflects your love to others. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

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.

How we respond when we fail reveals a lot about our hearts and how well we are believing and applying the gospel to our lives. Listen in as Jesse shares about how God unexpectedly used a recent "failure" in Jesse's life to reveal pride and shame in his heart, and to open up some powerful communication in our family on how we should respond when we fail.
