Uncommon Community
(Morning Service)
Text: 1 John 1:1-4
This morning we’re beginning our new series in 1 John, called “Uncommon Community.” Our aim is to uncover what it is that makes the church community different, marked, distinct, and uncommon. We’ll begin by studying the first 4 verses and asking ourselves: What is it that marks the uncommon community? What is it that makes the church community uncommon?
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life—the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.
(1 John 1:1–4 ESV)”
