Studies in 1 John

When the corona virus struck in 2020, we had to move from meeting together in a building to meeting online via Zoom. It took us awhile, but here are some studies from our online Bible study and worship together. The first book we studied was 1 John in the New Testament, and you can tell that the format is more intimate and casual than a regular sermon. So, pull up a chair and get your Bible out and join us in learning from God's precious Word!
