SERMON NOTES

经文 Scripture: 1 John 1:5-2:2

Discussion Questions

1. Read John 3:19 – 21. In practical terms, why do you think “people loved darkness instead of light “?

Think of someone who has rejected the “Light that has come into the world”. How can you help such a person?

2. Read Luke 4:1 – 13. Jesus was tempted in every way just as we have been, yet He did not sin (Hebrews 4:15b).

What lessons can we draw from the temptations of Jesus by Satan? How does confessing our sins regularly help us in our spiritual growth?

3. Read Matthew 5:14 – 16. In your personal opinion, are Christians in general the light of the world? What makes you think so?

Based on the passage what practical steps can we take to be the light of the world, beginning with you and your small group?
