Series: 1 John: That You May Know

Preacher: Pastor Mike Moore

In a world where it's hard to tell what's real, how can we discern what is from God? This message explores 1 John 4, revealing that the ultimate test of any spiritual teaching is its confession of Jesus Christ—fully God and fully man. We are commanded to test every spirit, not out of fear, but with the bold confidence that the Spirit in us is greater than the spirit of the world.

Key Points

  • Discernment isn’t optional.
  • Our enemy is real and seeks to deceive.
  • Know who Jesus truly is through Scripture.
  • Evaluate every influence.
  • Don’t be afraid—Jesus wins.

Reflect & Discuss

  1. In what areas of your life (media, teaching, etc.) do you need more spiritual discernment?
  2. Why is the confession that “Jesus Christ has come in the flesh” the critical test for what is from God?
  3. How does the truth, “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world,” empower you to face spiritual opposition without fear?
