1 John 4:7-16

Listen to 1 John 4:7-16
7 Dear friends, let us love one another; for love has its origin in God, and every one who loves has become a child of God and is beginning to know God.
8 He who is destitute of love has never had any knowledge of God; because God is love.
9 God's love for us has been manifested in that He has sent His only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him.
10 This is love indeed--we did not love God, but He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Dear friends, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has ever yet seen God. If we love one another, God continues in union with us, and His love in all its perfection is in our hearts.
13 We can know that we are continuing in union with Him and that He is continuing in union with us, by the fact that He has given us a portion of His Spirit.
14 And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God--God continues in union with him, and he continues in union with God.
16 And, as for us, we know the love which God has for us, and we confide in it. God is love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God, and God continues in union with 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!
