Are you sure? 1 John Study

At West Cannon Baptist Church, I am teaching the Genesis class.  

Our most recent study was an overview of the Old Testament, Genesis through Esther.

Our next study which begins February 11th, is "Are You Sure?" a study of 1st John.    

Here are a couple of things to get you thinking about this study.

• First John 5:13 contains the reason why the book was written.  “ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,  and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.”
• First John 3:16 is a great reminder of what the Christian life should look like especially when this verse is paired with John 3:16.
• A supplemental book, not one we are specifically using in class but one I might refer, is How Can I Be Sure I Am a Christian? by Don Whitney.   HERE is a link to Tim Challies' review of this book
• Assurance of Salvation is important to think about as it relates to your own life, the lives of those you are discipling and so many others.  

We will be studying this book in light of its purpose statement and in a way that will encourage you to study this and/or other books of the Bible with someone. 

The biggest challenges that will come out of this study is…

How are you loving others (your brothers and sisters at WCBC and others God has sovereignly place in your life)?

If you are not currently attending an Adult Bible Class, I want to encourage you to study this great book with us.

One of the resources we are going to use throughout the study is
