In Bro Tommy’s sermon, he introduces a new series on First John titled “IYKYK” (If You Know, You Know), emphasizing the importance of understanding the assurance of salvation. He discusses the relevance of the apostle John, who wrote the epistles, as a key biblical figure known for his close relationship with Jesus. Bro Tommy highlights John’s intention in his writings, which is to provide believers with confidence in their faith and emphasize that they can truly know they have eternal life, as reiterated multiple times throughout the epistle.Bro Tommy outlines four central themes of First John: the assurance of salvation, the protection against deception, the prevention of sin, and the fullness of joy in Christ. He articulates that John wrote to affirm that he had indeed encountered the real Jesus—historically, experientially, and relationally—encouraging believers to develop a deep, personal relationship with Christ. This relationship brings joy, a theme underscored in the discussion of fellowship with God and other believers. Bro Tommy leaves the congregation with the call to actively pursue their faith, engage with scripture, and seek a fulfilling relationship with God.
