iStudy Courses for 2017

iStudy of 1 John, “Witness to the Truth”

Online interactive video groups begin the week of May 21 for 6 weekly lessons.

Come and meet John, “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 13:23). Now an old man, he followed Jesus from the beginning of His ministry and was an eye-witness to all Jesus said and did. John called on the believers of his day to return to a simple, intimate, moment-by-moment fellowship with Jesus just as he had experienced.
“If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another.” –1 John 1:7.
The resurrected Jesus said “Peace be with you” to His fearful and fretting disciples to take their fears away. Many of us are still searching for that peace in our own lives. This short course will open up that peace like never before. You’ll zero in on what really matters: learning of Jesus, loving Him and living out the Truth– the life He has prepared for you.
Come along with us and meet Jesus through the eyes and words of one of His closest followers. And you will learn that if we are Children of God, each person we meet can become our brother or sister in Jesus Christ.
