On Sunday, September 8, 2024 Pastor Josh began a new series on the book of 1 John.

He gave the purpose and context of First John. Detailing John’s life in his late twenties and early thirties, spent alongside Jesus and the other disciples who had all died by the time 1 John was written. John was likely in his eighties by this point

The initial application for us today is to never throw in the towel, no matter what age we are in! Invest in spreading the Gospel now and for future generations.

Into John’s first letter: (1 John 1:1-4)

What’s his main subject and focus (1:1-2)?

That which was from the beginning
The word of life
The eternal life

What’s his main point and hope (1:3-4)?

Our faith in and life experience with Jesus has given us a quality of life and fellowship the world does not offer, and we want you to have it too!

Principle: Salvation is about fellowship with God and with each other.

Here at Anchor Point Church in Duluth, we practice expository preaching. Expository preaching is a style of preaching that involves explaining and interpreting a specific passage of Scripture in a detailed and systematic manner. Our pastors endeavor to be faithful in drawing out the meaning of the text, often going verse by verse, and then applying its principles to the lives of the listeners. The goal is to faithfully communicate the original intent of the biblical authors, ensuring that the congregation understands the message within its proper context. Please join us on Sunday morning!
