A theme the Lord has put on our hearts for this year is—abide. Abiding means walking in a deeper fellowship with Jesus Christ at each moment of each day. In this study of 1 John, Dr. Ben Lovvorn will take you verse by verse through this powerful book, equipping you with practical ways to draw closer to the Lord while making a greater impact for His kingdom. Each class meeting will open in worship led by our First Dallas Band to help us all connect with what we’re learning from God’s Word that week! A Scripture Notebook for 1 John will be available for each participant.
