1Jn 1:1-4

1. We Are Often Lopsided In Our Faith

2. We Are Often Stuck In Our Living

3. We Are Called to Balance the Future and the Present

• Manifested v2
• Heard; seen; touched
• Word of life:

• we Proclaim to you
• testify:  The authority of experience  - Acts 1:8
• herald:  the authority of - commission

4. The Gospel Impacts Our Present

5. Live In the Present For the Future
