May 17, 2018 - Suggested Reading John 1 for May 20th’s message on 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 in the 1st Service


“Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”
John 1:3 (NIV)

The gospel starts with creation!
There are people today who believe that they can believe the good news about Jesus Christ without believing in creation - they believe they can be a Christian without believing in creation.
The apostle John will have none of that type of thinking.
I love John’s gospel – full of grace - full of stories and full of the good news about Jesus Christ.
Just look at this first chapter- to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world – Rabbi you are the Son of God
This is the gospel! Believe in Christ Jesus and be saved.
Believe that Christ Jesus was present at the beginning - more than present Christ Jesus was the active force in creation.
More than the active force in creation, that Christ Jesus is the light which sustains all life.
Dear Lord - We believe, please help us with our unbelief!
