A great start to our study of 1 John!

This past Sunday evening at 5pm we began our study of the letter of 1 John.  We began by observing that it is a letter written by the Apostle John who also wrote the Gospel of John as well as 2 John, 3 John, and the book of Revelation.  We then looked at the original recipients of the letter and noticed that they had a variety of views about who Jesus really was and we discovered that John is therefore writing this letter to ensure that people will know for sure that Jesus really is fully God and fully Man.  In our discussion groups we then looked specifically at the first 4 verses of the letter which form a powerful introduction.  To make our study a little more interesting we have prepared actual scrolls to help us picture how the original text was likely passed around and read.  Each week we will add the next portion to our scrolls!  Plan to join us!  If you have questions of comments about the study we would love to interact with you on this blog.  Many blessings to you...
