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.

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-...

Heart Sharing (with Spanish Translation): San José, Costa Rica August 2025

Note: These two messages are part of a larger series a few of us shared. (I'll add a playlist for that once I have it). These two can stand alone as well. The first crowd was there on a Wed night for a weekly worship time. The second crowd was a set of those serving in the church (mostly).
