DEVOTION: 1 John 5:1-8 English Standard Version (ESV)

Overcoming the World

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Testimony Concerning the Son of God

This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.

ISAIAH 55 MINISTRY HAS BEGUN AT ST. JOHN'S!!

This ministry is very simple.  Take the Word of God and put it into the hands and lives of people.  As you go about your day, simply leave them in the restaurant, store, waiting room—wherever someone would find them.  Give them as gifts to your friends and neighbors. 

 

This ministry is based on these verses from Isaiah 55

10 "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
    and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
    giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
    it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
    and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

 

Bibles on are the counter in the narthex.  Take as many as you want!
