How are doing church? Doing okay? So glad that you are here this morning. If you've got your

Bibles and I hope you do, grab them. And we're going to be in the book of First John for the next

15 weeks. Okay, First John, it's way towards the back of the book, go, go, go. And everybody

needs to grab a Bible or a device or however you need to do it. That's fine. But go to 1 John. We're going to be here for a long time. So put a bookmark there too,

because, again, we're going to be there week after week after week. And today, what we're

going to talk about is we're going to talk about sharing your faith. And so I know everybody

274 people have surrendered their life to the Lordship of Christ in the

services at 1122 and that means 2,400 people have surrendered their lives to Christ since we

opened the doors of the church of 1122 and that's awesome now the question that I get asked most

often is how does that happen how How is your church going so fast

and all of that? And here's why. It's because you are telling people about Jesus. And so

you can just kind of relax a little bit and that's what we're going to talk about. We're going to

look at it in 1 John. So hopefully by now you found 1 John. If not, you got to keep trying. And also today you're going to need your bulletin. Okay? There's one part in the bulletin that you're

going to need to use. And so, First John is a letter or an epistle is what it's called.

Written by a guy named. Come on, take a guest. See, you're so spiritual. Look at that. You're
