About this sermon

Stephen Davey is teaching through the Bible with a new lesson each weekday. Watch episode 1 here: https://youtu.be/v1yx-2eg5NQ?sub_confirmation=1 ... False teaching is all around us, and it is seductive and dangerous. In our passage for today, John reminds us how to recognize it. He then gives us some of the most definitive statements on God’s love that we will find anywhere.
