JANUARY 7 - You’ve Got Mail!
John sends this letter to inspire joy and confidence among the followers of Jesus Christ. Imagine how different our testimony for Christ could be if we grew in these two areas alone. Sunday’s sermon will explore this possibility.
1 John 1:1-4, 5:13
JANUARY 14 - Winning the Battle Within
Every believer struggles with something. Habitual or recurrent sin not only discourages the individual Christian, it often scandalizes an entire community. This message will provide encouragement for spiritual integrity and a strategy for victory over temptation.
1 John 1:5-2:11
JANUARY 21 - End Times, the Anti-Christ, and the Second Coming—What John Wants Us to Know
John’s original audience needed a reminder of their identity in Christ and the danger of false teachers who were infiltrating the church like a computer virus. After nearly 2000 years, not much has changed. We’ll examine John’s reference to the anti-christ and find encouragement to live faithful and confident lives.
1 John 2:18-23
JANUARY 28 - Does God Expect Me to Be Perfect, and What Happens When I’m Not?
Verses like 1 John 3:9 (“No one who is born of God practices sin”) can cause Christians to question their relationship with Christ. John said this under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit so we know it is true. But what does it mean? We’ll address that in the final sermon in this series.
1 John 2:29-3:24
Start the new year off right with this church-wide inductive Bible study on John’s Letters—How to Grow in Loving God. Pastor Frank will preach a series of sermons on Sunday mornings which correspond to the study guide members can use at home in their inductive Bible studies on Sunday nights.
