Sermon Outline
Note: due to technical difficulties, we do not have an audio version for this sermon.
1 John 1:1-4
The Word of Life
1That
which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen
with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched-this
we proclaim concerning the Word of life.
2The
life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to
you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.
3We proclaim to you what we
have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And
our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
4We write this to make our joy complete.
