So this is it, the final chapter and the conclusion for us before we break for 2 weeks. I’m almost certain that this is my 5th or 6th read-through of the Gospel of John and my first time teaching it all the way through; and I must say, because of this study, this has beenContinue reading “John 21”

Talk to me about the Resurrection. What is it? And why does it matter? Jesus died for His Church/was killed by the Romans and Jews as clearly seen in the last chapter. No one could have survived what Jesus went through. The Resurrection is Jesus raising back to life in a new/eternal/spiritual body. This mattersContinue reading “John 20”

PrayRead the text. It is worth noting that none of the 4 gospels give us a comprehensive view of what happened at Golgotha; I believe this is done to show us the depth and complexity of this historic event. That is, all 4 authors of the Gospel are telling us to dig deeper than into thisContinue reading “John 19”

Pray  Read the text 18:1-6 What made Jesus so bold in His proclamation of Himself?  Love. He loved us, His Church, enough to die for us. He, therefore, boldly went to proclaim should love.  Why do you think the soldiers were so shocked at Jesus’ proclamation? One man’s boldness vs a legion of trained soldiers.Continue reading “John 18”

Pray Read the Text Intro to John 17:     Perhaps y\’all are aware of the “Lord’s Prayer” in Matt. 6:9-13 but that section of scripture is a prayer taught to the disciples by Jesus as a pattern for their prayers. John, here, records what is truly the Lord’s Prayer. There is very little is recordedContinue reading “John 17”

Read Pray John 16 16:1-4 16:1 What has Jesus been saying to His disciples? John 15.  What\’s it mean to “fall away”? In its original Greek, it means to “be led into sin”. So what was one main point to take away from John 15 that would keep us from falling away?  15:12-15 Jesus diedContinue reading “John 16”

ReadPray 12:1-8 12:1 So here is the last week of Jesus ministry and this chapter is the completion of His public teachings.  12:2 A dinner no doubt in Jesus honor and thanks for raising Lazarus.  12:3 Why would Mary anoint Jesus feet with oil? Why did she do that? She anointed His feet, His lowestContinue reading “John 12”

Read.Pray So here is our last chapter in John before John spends basically 2/3s of his gospel in the last week of Jesus’ life. And John seems to really set up Jesus\’ last week with this chapter concluding on the plot to kill Jesus.  We’re gonna be talking about love, death and glory, and prayerContinue reading “John 11”

ReadPray This chapter is divided into 3 sections: the good shepherd discourse (10:1-21), the discourse with the new (22-38) and a closing section (39-42) The chapter is unified by the themes that Jesus is Lord, Israel’s shepherd, that He is one with the Father and that His saving activity absolutely secures the protection of theContinue reading “John 10”

PrayRead So tonight we’re gonna be talking about suffering and the symbolism of the gospel in this story with the blind man.  9:2 So from the get-go, we have a serious problem that the disciples have just set up a “false dichotomy” about the reason for this man to be blind. It wasn’t because heContinue reading “John 9”
