1 John 4:7-16

Listen to 1 John 4:7-16
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born[a] of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein* is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

A Dream for the Church
A Dream for the Church
Stuart and Jill Briscoe

There’s a lot of debate about what the church is supposed to focus on. Some say it should be primarily concerned with bringing people to Christ, while others believe the focus should be on maturing existing believers. So, how do we know if we’re “doing church” right? Can we be certain that we’re making an impact in ways that matter most? In this message, Pete Briscoe takes you to 1 John to outline God’s dream for the church. You’ll discover a lesson that goes beyond the debate of men and becomes an entirely new and fulfilling way of life!
