WELCOME TO FIRST BENTONThank you for worshiping with us at First Benton! If you are a first time guest, please stop by the HomePointe Center in the Worship Center lobby before you leave. We have a gift for you and some helpful information about our church. Also, we would love to connect with you later in the week and ask that you fill out a Connection Card located in the pew rack. Simply drop the card in the offering plate during the service or take it to the HomePointe Center in the lobby when you pick up your gift.

The Difference God’s Love MakesI John 4:7 - 5:4
The twin theme of I John is “God is Light” and “God is Love.” Our text today is the third time John discusses love in his letter. First, in Chapter 2:7-11, he presented love as
proof of true fellowship. Then in Chapter 3:10-17, John discussed love as evidence of a believer’s relationship with God. This morning, we’ll consider the difference God’s love
makes in your life as a believer and in the world.
I. John points to the ________________________ of Christian Love. vv. 7-10
II. John points to the ________________________ of Christian Love. vv. 11-16
III. John points to the ________________________ of Christian Love. vv. 17-19
IV. John points to the ________________________ of Christian Love. v. 20 - ch. 5:4
