Sunday Service Follow-Up

Thank you for joining us today! Below are questions for you to consider related to today's message, "We Are Overcomers" from 1 John 5:1-6. We'd love to hear your feedback about how our service is going!

1. Read vv. 1-5. How does this connect with the context of the whole letter?
2. How do the three topics and tests John has talked about it throughout this letter show up here? What is he trying to accomplish with mentioning all of them here?
3. At first glance, v. 2 can seem confusing or backwards. What is John seeking to say? How can our love and obedience to God show how we love one another?
4. What does it mean that his commands are not burdensome? Is that encouraging to you? Why do they sometimes feel burdensome to us?
5. What does it mean that we overcome the world by our faith? How does that connect with our belief, our love, and our obedience?
6. How does knowing this aspect of our identity encourage you? How can you use it to encourage others in community?
7. Who is someone you can encourage or reach out to with something you learned from this text or sermon?
