Welcome to Woody! This week Annabel continues our study in the book of 1 John and unpacks the old and new commandments that John is referencing in verses 7 to 8.

Knowing that is not enough, however, for us to live fulfilled Christian lives for His glory. We must continue to turn away from sin in every aspect of our lives. If this message...
