Greater Is He – Finding Confidence When Fear, Insecurity, and Failure Speak Loudest (1 John 4:4)
(Not produced or reviewed by Lifeway.)
What do you do when your own heart condemns you? When insecurity whispers, lack feels overwhelming, loneliness weighs heavy, or past mistakes won’t stay buried?
This teaching walks through 1 John 3:20–4:4 and the powerful promise: “The
one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” It shows how this truth isn’t just theological—it’s deeply practical.
We explore what Scripture means by “spirits,” how ideas and cultural currents shape us more than we realize, and why believers are commanded to test the spirits rather than absorb them uncritically. From insecurity and fear to scarcity, loneliness, failure, and sin, this lesson repeatedly returns to the same hope: God is
greater.
You’ll see how:
God is greater than a condemning heart
God is greater than insecurity and fear
God is greater than lack and unmet needs
God is greater than loneliness and isolation
God is greater than your worst mistakes
God is greater than cultural ideologies shaping our world
Real-life stories, honest struggles, and Scripture-centered
encouragement make this an ideal teaching for Sunday School classes, small groups, and adult Bible studies. Designed to be discussion-based—pause the video at each question and let the group wrestle honestly with the text.
Because when everything else feels loud, this truth remains:
Greater is He who is in you.
