Here Is Love is back this Sunday.

How was the memorizing of 1 John 1 been going?  I hope you made good use of the extra week you had to memorize it.

This week we will be continuing to look at the preface (first 4 verses) of 1 John 1.  We saw last time that John was introducing and reminding us of the key aspects of what it means to be a Christian.

We should remember the audience that John is writing to as he explains these aspects of Christianity.  The first century was only beginning to nail down their doctrine in regard to Jesus and Christianity.

So far, some aspects that we have seen are:
(1.)  God (Jesus), has always existed.  Therefore , Christianity, has always existed.  (v. 1)
(2.)  Jesus was also a man. (v. 1-2)
(3.)  Jesus is the only way for life and salvation. (v. 1, 2)

This Sunday, April 11, we will study the other aspects of Christianity in the preface of 1 John.  We will talk a lot about what it means to have fellowship with God and with each other.  We will talk about what it means to really be a community of believers in the city of Rock Hill and what it means to be a community within our church.  Hopefully we will be challenged to truly start loving each other and our neighbors.

Please pray that God will open your heart and eyes to hear from Him this Sunday.  Get plenty of sleep on Saturday night and come ready to worship together as a church family.
