1 John 4:7-14

June 10, 2020

1 John 4:7-12 is the "other" love chapter in the Bible (with the more famous one perhaps being 1 Corinthians 13). With 15 references to the word love (or beloved) in these verses, it paints one of the most artful portraits of love in the entire Bible. John's discussion of love focuses on how it can only be understood against the backdrop of the love God has already shown us in Christ. *Please note: The notes for this week's class will not be available until next week.

1 John 3:9-4:6

June 3, 2020

Hurt people hurt people. People who have been attacked, criticized and sinned against are continuing the cycle of sin by taking their frustration out on others. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to break the cycle by loving others and spreading the light of Christ in our world. "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters." 1 John 3:16

1 John 2:18-3:8

May 27, 2020

This section of 1 John is a great reminder of the importance of anchoring our lives in Jesus and his teachings.

1 John 2:7-17

May 20, 2020

John reminds us an old command that was made new by the example of Jesus: Love one another.

1 John 1:1-2:6

May 13, 2020

God is light. That simple statement has profound implications for our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ. The guilt of our sin leaves us in the dark, and without the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we would be never be allowed to enter into God's holy light. But because of the love of Jesus and his willingness to die on the cross, we can enter into God's perfect light with joy and confidence.
