Listen "Serve and Obey: The Black-and-White Truth of 1 John"
Episode Synopsis
What does it really mean to know God? In this 1986 sermon on 1 John, Lee Shaw draws out the black-and-white clarity of the apostle John: light or darkness, truth or lies, obedience or disobedience. Through personal stories, Greek word studies, and sharp contrasts with Gnostic claims, this message calls believers to move beyond lip service into a life that actually walks like Jesus walked.In this episode, Landon Shaw revisits his father’s preaching with reflections on foundation, faith, and obedience — from milk to meat, from claiming to observing, from words to walk. Along the way, you’ll hear family stories, insights on Nathanael, and a moment where the shortest verse in Scripture, “Jesus wept,” becomes the heart of the call to serve and obey.Key themes include:The black-and-white contrasts of 1 JohnThe four key Greek words: ginosko, tereo, entole, peripateoSpiritual foundations and maturity (milk vs. meat)Observing, abiding, and walking in ChristIntegrity over intellectual claimsCompassion and obedience: Jesus weptAvailable on iTunes, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.#Faith #Sermons #1John #Obedience #ServeAndObey #ChristianPodcast
