Prove It: The Book of 1 John

This seven-week sermon series asks believers if they truly know God, and if so, to Prove It, since a Christian’s life should be living proof of their connection to the Father.

Essentially, our sacrificial love for others is a testament of our sacrificial love for God. The apostle John talks about living a Christian life in the first epistle.

Do you know God? You can prove it because the evidence is in your obedience.

Do you truly love your neighbor? You can prove it because the evidence is in your sacrifice.

We don’t earn God’s forgiveness with our good deeds, but a transformed life should look just like that—transformed.

Each entry in this series examines different claims made within the church, and asks for the evidence to prove that it’s true. It deals with themes like sin, the identity of Christ, and obedience.

Prove it is a great way for your people to evaluate what areas of their life they need to change to be more obedient to Christ. You can say it with your mouth, but the evidence is in your actions.

Using This Series Guide

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 7 weeks of content.

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
