The Apostle John on Joy
1 John 1:1-4
1 We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life.
2 This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us.
3 We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4 We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy.
BOTTOM LINE:
Experiencing JESUS in COMMUNITY
Brings JOY back to LIFE
THE EXPERIMENT…
Where are you now?
What do you want to change?
What could you try?
DIGGING DEEPER: For personal or group discovery
Read Philippians 4:1-23 out loud. Then retell the passage in your own words. Then discuss the following questions:
What does this passage teach us about God?
What does this passage teach us about people?
If this is true, what should I do in response?
Who could I share this with?
