1 John 5:13-21

Feb 1, 2026    William Moore

What does it mean to truly know God — and how do we stay connected to Him when faith feels pressured, culture is confusing, and spiritual drift is real?


In this message from 1 John 5:13–21, we explore how the apostle John wrote to a struggling church facing false teaching, broken relationships, and growing confusion about Jesus. John reminds believers that prayer keeps us connected to God’s heart, repentance keeps us spiritually alive, and remaining rooted in Christ protects us from spiritual collapse.


Using the imagery of rock climbing and a safety rope, this message helps us understand the difference between stumbling in weakness and walking away from faith, while pointing us back to the steady grip of Christ who protects, restores, and gives eternal life.


Whether you are feeling strong in your faith or sensing spiritual drift, this message invites you to stay connected, stay repentant, and keep trusting the One True God.
