On Easter Sunday we go through the first 17 verses of John 20 and try to relive the grief and the joy felt by John, Peter, and Mary on that first glorious Easter morning!

As we look at the death of Christ we see the omniscience, sovereignty and love of God. We also see the obedience, glory, and love of Christ. Both should make us rejoice greatly!

In John 18:33-37 we see Pilate's trial and questioning of Jesus. Jesus' answers to Pilate's question tell us a lot of things that help us to understand Him and His mission here on earth.

Before we received the Lord's Supper together we looked at 1 John 4:7-21 to see John showing us several amazing thing's about God's amazing love!

In 1 John 4:1-6 John calls us to "test the spirits" as he reminds us that many false prophets and teachers are led by "the spirit of the antichrist" rather than the Holy Spirit.

In 1 John 3:19-24 John gives us another test of true Christianity and helps us apply this to times when we doubt whether God could love or accept us.

in 1 John 3:11-18 John once again calls us to love one another, but this time gives us examples of what this looks like, and what it doesn't. He also makes clear to us where this love comes from. Hint: It isn't from us mustering it up inside of us!

IN 1 John 2:18-27 John warns the recipients of his letter about "many antichrists that have come." He tells us who they are, why we should be aware of them, and how we can protect ourselves against their teachings.

As we continue working our way through 1 John we look at chapter 2::12-17 to see where our identity lies, and why this is another reminder of why we should abstain from loving the things of this world.

As John continues to use the main theme of "God is light" he now gives us three distinct ways to know whether or not we are Christians. Are you walking in these ways?
