Basic Outline of 1 John

1 John —Christian Fellowship

The Ground of Fellowship (1:1-4)

The Grace of Fellowship (1:5-5:5)

Our Fellowship is in Light (1:5-2:28)
Our Fellowship is in Righteousness (2:29-4:6)
Our Fellowship is in Love (4:7-5:5)

The Glory of Fellowship (5:6-21)



Geoffrey's Note: 

This outline was taken from a series of messages by Stephen Kaung on 1st John. I found the basic outline so helpful as a beginning point for studying this book. Most miss the section to do with Righteousness and only see light and love, or they see life, light, and love as three equals in this (possibly because they all begin with "L"?). So this is a great discovery that he made in the simple outline. Each of the Fellowship sections begins with something about God: God is light, He is righteous, God is love.

The mystery of Israel: a conversation about prophecies and modern events

 This is not a message, it is more of a discussion that I’ve been having with several people by phone call or email or chat or in person. This only includes some notes on it but I wanted to share a more comprehensive view all at once.

Crave the word

  So glad for this verse today:    as newborn babes  desire earnestly  [crave] the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation  - 1 Peter 2:2 Try reading 10 chapters by the  choice  of craving and then read some more by the reactive desire of it.  How often are my 5 or 10 second moments spent checking some other happiness than Christ? In 5 seconds I can check notifications or I can chew on my manna for the day. In 10 seconds I can check for new emails or rehearse that verse I've been trying to memorize. I can spend just 5 minutes listening to the news or I can spend it finishing a daily Bible reading portion.  Mother's milk is the best thing for the newborn baby. The milk of the word is the best source of joy all through the day. "crave ... the word ... if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good."

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on.  Below are links to each of the original messages.   Old Testament  Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land   Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...
