1 John is a pastoral letter written to believers in the midst of confusion created by false teachers. John writes to reassure God’s people about the reality of Jesus Christ and the way of life found in him. John’s first concern is not to knock down the false teachers but to protect his beloved readers from the destructive lies about their Father. 1 John speaks to us of the profound life of love God has summoned us to, to the absolute centrality of Jesus Christ and how we can have fellowship with God because of Jesus’ death and resurrection. All of this brings us to Christmas. The truth of Christmas is that God has come to have fellowship with us by sending his son and inviting us into the way of life he shares as Trinity: the way of love. At the end of a tiring year, let us reflect on this immovable comfort and anchor for our souls!

"My cup overflows" - Psalm 23:5 This series will take a look at God’s rich and abundant generosity. His relation to his creation is necessarily abundant - it's who he is. He is not a stingy creator. He goes above and beyond, he is constantly caring, giving and replenishing his creation. He is always ‘rich’ in mercy, glory, goodness, power, might. He had no need to create the world, he did it out of his own overflowing delight in himself and his glory. Come and hear about the overflowing love and mercy of our God.
