Over the course of this seven-week study, lean into John’s invitation to meet the one who is the Word, the Bread of life, the Light of the world, the Resurrection and the Life, and more—Jesus, the Son of God.
John is unique among the New Testament Gospels. More than a record of Jesus’s life, it is the eyewitness account of a passionate disciple who sought to shout Jesus’s name from the rooftops. Bursting with theology, poetry, miracles, and intense discourses, the Gospel of John guides us through the whirlwind of Jesus’s earthly ministry, death, and resurrection. Over the course of this seven-week study, lean into John’s invitation to meet the one who is the Word, the Bread of life, the Light of the world, the Resurrection and the Life, and more—Jesus, the Son of God.
A faithful reading of God’s Word leads to a faithful response from God’s people. The Shaped by Scripture series teaches a simple, engaging method of studying the Bible that will lead to honest interpretation and a changed relationship with God.
