In 1st John, the Apostle John was compelled to address heresies that had crept into the Church and warn the people that their faith was being undermined. That account is instructional for us today. We have been called into a relationship, a connection, to God. If we allow it, that connection can be broken. This message analyzes principles of those heretical doctrines and encourages us to live a full, hope-filled, purpose-filled life led by Jesus Christ, to maintain our connection to God our Father.
