Living for Jesus and caring for others starts with prayer.  Prayer changes us and our heart for other people while God works in the lives of the people we pray for.  How, then, do we pray for others?

We can come to the throne of grace with confidence that God hears our prayers.

Do you want to know that you have eternal life? That's exactly why John wrote this letter and we'll find out how we can know in chapter 5.

God is Love, therefore, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.  Racism is, fundamentally, hating someone because of the color of their skin.  So, racism and Christian love cannot coexist.  We are all one in Christ.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us and we should be willing to do the same for others. How we love others is how we know if we belong to the truth.

They will know we are Christians by our love and that we are walking in agreement with God. We should practice righteous which means that we agree with God what sin is.

In this message we look at the great love that God has for His children.

The second chapter in John's first letter is a gracious reminder to those who have questioned their faith.  Are you walking in obedience, loving your neighbor, gathering with other believers, trusting in Jesus and continuing in the faith?  If all five of these things are not evident at some level in your life, then it's time to trust in Jesus.

To kick off the new series through the letters of the New Testament we're starting with 1st John. In the first chapter John reminds us that he is an eye witness of Jesus and encourages us to walk in the light.

What will the new Heaven and Earth be like and who will be there?
