Whether you are a lifelong member or a newcomer, when you come through the doors of Good Shepherd Church our prayer is that you are made to feel like family. As forgiven people, living in the grace of God, we want more and more people to experience the joy and freedom that can only be found in Jesus Christ. We hope to see you this Sunday!
John tells us that the last hour is upon us (1 John 2:18). There are many forces working against the Gospel that would entice Christians away from the faith: the love of the world and false teaching. John calls Christians to hold fast to Christ and stay true to the Word. But this does not come of our own strength or will, it is simply by abiding in Christ, as Christ holds us fast and enables us to stay true!
This Sunday, as we get into the 2nd chapter of 1 John, we begin to look at what happens once our sins are forgiven through Christ. At that point, once we have been cleansed of all our unrighteousness, is it up to us and our power to keep ourselves clean? Or, is there another, greater power available to us? Are the rest of the words in 1 John meant to make us question our faith, or give us assurance? Come hear what John has to say to us, the Beloved.
This Sunday we begin a new series in the book of 1 John. Throughout this letter, we will see that John is correcting heretical teaching that has worked its way into the Church. In the first chapter, we will see him address a wrong view of who Jesus is and a wrong view of who we are. And we will see that his teaching is just as applicable for us as it was in the day he wrote it. Come hear about both the life and light of Christ.
