John testifies to the reality of Jesus’ incarnation–God’s life-giving love to the world.
Members of our Bible Study meet with a guest speaker while hosting this years Seasoned Gators brunch.
Please join us this spring for a 7-week Bible study through the Epistle of 1 John.
We will be answering these questions and much more:
- When you find yourself falling again and again in a certain area, stuck in some habitual sin, what impact does it have on your life? How do you usually try to remedy the situation?
- Consistency — being steadfast and steady–whether it regards a diet, a friendship, or one’s walk with God, is a struggle for everyone. What makes it so difficult? What things get in the way as we seek to be people of integrity, consistency, and follow though?
- Think of the people who have most influenced you. How have they shaped you? Why were they able to be so influential?
- In calling us to a life of love, John first gives an example of hate that helps us understand love and calls us to self-examination. What does this passage tell us about hate? What are its object, its origin, and its provocation? How does it manifest itself, both overtly and subtly? What do the presence of hate and the absence of love indicate about a person?
Using John’s words in verses 16-18, how would you define love? Why is Christ’s death on the cross the supreme example? How can that example help you to love difficult people?
