1 John 2(03–11)
Introduction Do you remember last week's passage? John was responding to three false claims which certain people were making about sin. The first false claim that some people were making was that sin doesn't matter. I can have a relationship with God and keeping on sinning, because sin doesn't matter.

Galatians 01(11)–02(21)

We normally study only a few verses at a time, because the writers pack so much in to each verse; and every sentence is filled with things we need to know.

1 John 1(05)–2(02)

Matthew 12(01–21)
Introduction Matthew 11 ended with the Lord's invitation to the weary and burdened to come to him for rest. Take my yoke and learn from me, he said.
