What does the Spirit of God Produce In Our Lives?

In 1 John 4 we have seen what the spirit of anti-Christ believes. Now John turns his attention to the Spirit of God. To neglect the person and the work of the Holy Spirit is to set ourselves up for certain failure. Join us as John reveals what the Holy Spirit seeks to produce in us.

As He is, So Are We in the World

Coming to the end of 1 John chapter four, John reveals what we as the followers of Christ are to be. He simply tells us we are to be what God is. And he told us “God is love”. This is what we are called of God to be in this world. Join us as we discover how all of this can be made possible.

How to Have Fellowship with God

John the Apostle has told us that as the followers of Christ we can have fellowship with God. The early church was being attacked by an early form of Gnosticism.

John steps in and tells us anyone can have fellowship with God, and it isn’t a complicated process. Join us as we learn the simple step in drawing close to God.
