We wereContinue reading “1John 5: 13-21….Final Advice from an aged saint!”
1 John 5: 6-12….Would you call God ‘a liar’ to His face?
This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

1 John 5: 1-5 etc….How do I overcome the world and ‘stand out’ for Jesus?
Introduction: “Standing out” can sound a bit self seeking of glory. It could, but it can mean something else!

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
