Series: 1 John: That You May Know
Preacher: Pastor Anson McMahon
Pastor Anson begins a deep dive into 1 John 2:7-11, focusing on God's radical definition of love and its profound importance for believers. He emphasizes that our primary identity is being "beloved" by God and explores how Jesus perfectly exemplifies and commands us to show this love to one another, even when it's difficult or inconvenient.
Key Points:
Reflect & Discuss: How does the truth of being "beloved" by God impact your identity? In what specific ways can you love others more like Jesus, even when it's inconvenient or they disappoint you? How does loving other believers reflect the light of Christ to the world?
Scripture: 1 John 2:7-11, Leviticus 19:18, John 13:34-35, Ephesians 5:1, 1 John 4:19, Luke 9:51-56.
