The epistles of John are rich letters that blend deep spiritual insight with a practical call to live out our faith. In them, we find clear guidance on what it means to walk in the light, to love in truth, and to remain steadfast in our hope. This series explores John’s timeless teaching with an emphasis on how these ancient words can transform our daily discipleship. Each class draws out the simple yet profound principles that help us grow closer to God, strengthen our relationships in the body of Christ, and hold fast to the promise of eternal life.
We Can Change
This opening class reminds us that transformation is not only possible but expected in the life of a believer. Drawing on John’s assurance of God’s love and forgiveness, we are encouraged to move forward in faith, leaving behind old habits and embracing the new life we have been called to live.
God is Light, We Can Shine Too
Here John’s imagery of light becomes a call to action. Just as God’s light exposes truth and banishes darkness, so we are invited to reflect that light in our own lives—through honesty, integrity, and a commitment to walking in God’s ways.
God is Love, We Can Love Too
Building on the truth that God is the source of all love, this class challenges us to let that same love flow through our actions. John’s words remind us that love is not a sentiment alone but a deliberate choice to care for others as God has cared for us.
The Love to Avoid
Not all love is Godly love. This class examines the attachments and desires that can pull us away from the Father. By learning to recognize and reject these false loves, we keep our hearts clear for the love that leads to life.
God is Life, Our Life is at Stake
John’s message is urgent—our connection to God is a matter of life and death. This study looks at how our faith, obedience, and fellowship with God determine our spiritual health now and our eternal future.
Practice John’s Teaching
Hearing God’s word is only the beginning; living it out is the true measure of discipleship. This class encourages practical steps to apply John’s lessons—steps that strengthen faith, deepen relationships, and keep us aligned with God’s will.
Brilliant Basics
Sometimes the path to spiritual strength lies not in complexity but in mastering the fundamentals. This evening program reminds us to be “brilliant at the basics” of our walk in the truth: daily prayer, Bible study, love for one another, and steady perseverance.
Who is My Mother, Brother, Sister?
Using Jesus’ own words, this exhortation reflects on the bonds that define God’s family. Spiritual relationships, grounded in doing the will of the Father, surpass even earthly ties, giving us a community united in hope and love.
