Over seven days this plan takes you verse by verse through John’s life-changing introduction to his book, John’s Gospel. Join us as we go back to the very beginning...

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on Jesus’s final moments and words with his disciples, preparing them for his crucifixion to come. It is Jesus’s last will & testament. This plan focuses on the second half of Jesus's words in John 15 and is part of an ongoing series.

In this Seven Day study we will study the 7 “Signs” of Jesus, and the 7 “I AM" statements of Jesus, to demonstrate that John structured his book in a way that helps the reader see that Jesus fulfills the ministry of Elisha.

We know the Lord’s prayer (Matthew 6:9-13), but are we praying the “Disciple’s Prayer”? In John 17, Jesus prays for His disciples, in whom He invested His life.

Here are eight words to help you pray for your disciples.
