In his letter, John proposes three evidences that reveal people to be christ followers. Today we will focus on the ethical evidence (How do you live?).

3. Do what’s right. (1 John 3:7-10)

Challenge:

1. How do we become imitators of Christ
2. Why is it important to be imitators of Christ?

Pastor Gary started our new sermon series called “Pursuing God.” He specifically preached on pursuing joy. His scripture for his sermon was 1 John 1:1-4.
