Introduction to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John: You may know that you have eternal life.

Rev. Warren Woerth, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Arnold, MO joins Rev. Brady Finnern to start off our study of John’s three epistles.

John writes these epistles that you “believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life (I John 5:13).” He writes these epistles toward the end of his life and is ardent with the desire for people not to believe the false messages going around the church. The Word written by John are vital as people continuously ask questions of Jesus, we are able to boldly confess He is Love, Light, & Forgiveness by His cross. “Lord Jesus Christ, in You there is no darkness at all. As You are the light of the city of God, shine in my heart to walk as a child of the Light. Amen”

Thy Strong Word reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Thy Strong Word is hosted by Rev. Brady Finnern, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Sartell, MN, and graciously underwritten by the Lutheran Heritage Foundation.
