Phos Community Church

Hello friends! We are at the start of a new story and a new series going through the letter of 1 John! We believe that 1 John was written by John the disciple, the brother of James, the sons of Zebedee. It was likely written sometime towards the end of the first century, sometime around 85-90 AD. John was likely written to the church and communities surrounding Ephesus, written to encourage the believers there to stand firm under persecution, temptation of sin and false teaching and teachers that were plaguing the community. 1 John is a “simple” letter, meaning that John spoke in simple, practical terms to his people, the “little children” who needed guidance and reassurance of their faith. It’s a fascinating letter filled with lots of practical and timely encouragement for us as a church today! Alright, let’s jump in and make a start of it!
