Jesus is My Advocate

Many Christians wrestle with feelings of unworthiness and insecurity when it comes to their relationship with God. In this episode, Wes McAdams addresses that struggle. He explores the profound truth of 1 John 1–2, encouraging listeners to ask: How do I know that I know Jesus? Wes challenges listeners to move beyond shame and into confidence—not because of their perfection, but because of their Advocate, Jesus Christ.The sermon unpacks the concept of fellowship with God—a deep, intimate partnership—and how it’s not built on our performance but on walking in the light. Walking in the light doesn’t mean being sinlessly perfect; it means being honest, confessing sin, and trusting in God's mercy. Wes emphasizes that Jesus is not just a distant Savior, but an active Advocate who continually intercedes for his people. And because we are represented by Jesus in heaven, we must represent Him on earth—especially through our love for others, including our enemies.This lesson was preached at the 2025 Red River Family Encampment in the beautiful mountains of Red River, New Mexico.Links and Resources:* Red River Family Encampment* Logos Bible Software (Extended Free Trial) This is a public episode.
