1 John 4:5-8

How would you describe your faith journey?  Is it a well-established fire?  Is it warming? Comforting? Does it push away darkness?  Or is merely a spark? Not quite yet a flame?  Hardly casting a shadow.  These guided audio meditations will help recognize a spark from an encounter with God.  And watch the spark turn to flame.  Pushing out fear and darkness.

Have you ever doubted your effectiveness as a witness? I’ll admit, I have. Over the next 5 days, we'll discuss five misconceptions about sharing the gospel that have grown a fear of witnessing in our hearts. If you’ve struggled with any of these, my heart is not to discourage you. Instead, I pray you will be fully equipped to boldly take the message of grace and truth to the world.

The Essential 100® Bible Challenge is a simple tool to read through the Big Story of God's Word. The reading plan is based on 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament passages. Continue with the nineteenth part "The Apostles' Teaching." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

In this plan we will undertake a study of the book of 1 John, in the New Testament. The book of 1 John is the first of three books, written by John the elder to house church believers. The book of 1 John encourages believers to remember that God is light and love and therefore to live lives that reflect that light and love with one another and the world.
