About this sermon
In this Bible study, Pastor Donnie Swaggart explores the opening of John’s first epistle, emphasizing the apostle’s unique authority as an eyewitness to Christ’s ministry. Writing at nearly 90 years of age, John sought to refute Gnostic heresies by testifying that Jesus was both fully God and fully man—a physical reality John had personally heard, seen, and touched. Swaggart outlines the three vital roles of an "undershepherd": to love, feed, and guard the congregation against false doctrine. He explains that the "Word of Life" offers believers an abundant "Zoe" life, which must be evidenced through ethical conduct and the fruit of the Spirit in daily interactions. Ultimately, the study asserts that a believer's fullness of joy is inseparable from a disciplined, intimate fellowship with God through consistent prayer and scripture. Key Words: Undershepherd, Eyewitness, Gnosticism, Fellowship, Abundant Life, Doctrine, Joy, Relationship.
