Discussion Questions: 

1. Who was someone you were introduced to that changed your life?

2.  1 John 1:5 says that God is light - Is there any area of your life where you've been hesitant to bring something into the light?

3. 1 John 1:3 talks about our fellowship together with the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. What gets in the way of deeper community for you?

4. 1 John 1:4 says that he writes "so that our joy may be complete". How would you describe your level of joy right now? What can you do to get more connected to Jesus?
