Student hang out #1 2026

Announcements:

Summer camp July

CJ Barrymore trip August 14th

High school Cedar point trip June 26th

Icebreaker:

Would you rather spend the rest of your life always in the light or always in the dark?

Light: The sun is always out, lights are always on, and there’s no way to escape the brightness.

Dark: No lights are allowed on, only a few stars in the sky provide light, but there’s still enough to see and get around.

Which would you choose??

Tonight we’re gonna study the first chapter of the book of first John

And in the first chapter of John, we’re gonna talk about the light and the dark talk about the differences and which one should be in our life.

We’re gonna look at two aspects of this chapter

“The message giver” Which is Jesus

And the message, which is what John presents to us inverses five through 10 and onward…

Text:

1 John 1:1–10 ESV

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. 5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
