Transformed_1 John 2:28-3:10_ Doing is the test of Being.pptx

This sermon is a tag-team preaching event. Pastor Ryan will cover John 2:28-29. Pastor Steve will cover John 3:1-10. John makes some very strong statements suggesting that Christians do not sin. However, when we dig into the grammar of these verses it exposes the difference between occasional sinning, something we all do, and habitual sinning - something that God's Spirit protects the true believer from. Jesus redeems us from our sins and looses us from the chains that Satan seeks to bind us in - the chains of sin.
