One year ago this week we jumped into 1 John at verse one. We made it through chapter one and part of chapter two, then COVID hit and the rest is history. This morning we’re jumping back into 1 John with the first part of a two part recap.

1 John has a lot in common with Jesus’ final hours alone with the disciples in the Gospel of John 13-17. Why find many of those glorious themes revisited, like joy, truth, fellowship and abiding in Christ. 1 John is that message to the disciples applied to a local church. John had a personal, life-changing encounter with Jesus and he tells the church that they too can have fellowship with Jesus as well.
