Praying with confidence will be the focus of our study this weekend as we begin to dig into the final verses of 1 John. 1 John 5:14-21 should be viewed as a postscript or epilogue to the larger letter. These verses contain some personal and practical counsel on how to live the Christian life.
One of those areas of the Christian life that has not received as much attention in the last few months is the subject of prayer. John talks about prayer in 1 John 3:21-22, but he revisits the subject of prayer in I John 5:14-15 because he wants to be sure that those who read his letter – then and now – KNOW about the power of prayer. This weekend, we will learn how to pray according to God’s will and how to understand God’s answers to our prayers.
Join your GCC family as we continue to celebrate the truth that JESUS IS LORD! We will begin a new sermon series this weekend that will take us into the riches of 1, 2, and 3 John. These New Testament letters were written to a group of churches grappling with the fall-out from false teaching and ungodly behavior. These letters were written to bring assurance and certainty to Christians – the assurance that the Christian faith is absolutely true and Jesus is truly the one and only Savior of the world. And the assurance that we can have a new and eternal life in Jesus Christ!
