Are you struggling to sleep at night because of a guilty conscience, or perhaps you feel like you're just "faking it" spiritually? When you stumble into sin, do you feel like God is a harsh judge waiting to strike, or do you know the One who stands in the courtroom as your defense?
In this study, Pastor Ron Hindt continues our series through the book of 1 John titled Get Real. Moving verse-by-verse through 1 John 2:1-14, we examine how Jesus Christ serves as our heavenly Advocate and what "fruit" actually proves that a person has been genuinely transformed by the Gospel.
A Right Advocate: Discover the legal reality of "Propitiation" and how Jesus doesn't just argue your case—He has already paid your legal debt in full to satisfy the Father’s justice.
A Right Evidence: Learn why "knowing" God is more than just intellectual data; it is a practical, lifestyle obedience that mirrors the walk of Jesus Christ Himself.
A Right Embrace: Unpack the "New Commandment" that is actually ancient—the call to radical, sacrificial love that serves as the ultimate "thermometer" of our spiritual health.
A Right Encouragement: Explore John’s message to the three stages of spiritual growth—little children, young men, and fathers—and find where you stand in your journey of overcoming the wicked one.
