Thank you for joining us today! Below are questions for you to consider related to today's message, "Jesus' Mission" from 1 John 3:4-10. We'd love to hear your feedback about how our service is going!

Questions:
- Please Read 1 John 3:4-10.
- How have you been challenged or encouraged by this series in 1 John?
- What definition of sin do you find in v. 4?
- The New City Catechism poses the question, “What is sin?” and replies, “Sin is rejecting or ignoring God in the world he created, [by] not being or doing what he requires in his law.” Are you typically more aware of sin being against another person, or against God? What happens if you forget that sin is always first against God?
- What do verses 5 and 8 tell us about why Jesus appeared? What does this add to how you commonly think about Jesus’ mission?
- What do you learn about the devil from this passage? If you really believe what you see here, what difference could this make in how you live your life?
- Read the quote from John Stott below. What does it look like for a Christian to keep himself or herself pure? How do you do this personally?
- “If Christ appeared first both to ‘take away our sins’ and to ‘destroy the devil’s work’, and if, when he appears a second time, ‘we shall see him’ and, in consequence, ‘we shall be like him’, how can we possibly go on living in sin? To do so would be to deny the purpose of both his appearings. If we would be loyal to his first coming and ready for his second, we must purify ourselves, as he is pure.” - John Stott, The Letters of John, p. 132-133
