The Gospel of John
from BibleProject
John Session 1: Chapters 1–12
In the Old Testament, God promised to use the nation of Israel to one day produce a king who would help restore a right relationship between God and people. Early in the book of John, the writer begins to make the case that Jesus is the king they have been hoping for over the centuries.
NOTE: This study requires the group to read the first twelve chapters of John the week prior. This study is not intended to be started without that first week of reading beforehand.
John Session 2: Chapters 13–21
In the second half of John, Jesus emphasizes that he is redefining what it means to be a ruler. While many hoped that Jesus would establish a kingdom through force, Jesus tried to communicate that he would be ushering in God’s Kingdom through serving.
This Discussion Is a Two-Week Curriculum for Groups.
These video-based Bible studies are designed to get groups discussing the Bible. These discussions should lead to better understanding of who God is, inspire us to dig into the Bible for ourselves, and help us to make applications in our everyday lives.
NOTE: Provide every group member with a link to this page at least a week before beginning the study. Everyone will need to John 1–9 before your first session.
Step 1:
