1, 2 & 3 John

Teacher: Darrell Rott

Hello Friends! There is no better place to start out our study of the Bible this year then 1-3 John. Please review these three short books to discuss in class what they teach and how they challenge us to "live love". Key words to focus on are: fellowship, sin, commandments/law, fellow believers and love. Happy Holidays!
