STUDIES ON THE GO
JOHN
To the staff and community of Ocean Hills Covenant ChurchI am grateful that God led me to Santa Barbara to do life and ministry with you.
This book is called Studies on the Go. Maybe it should have been titled, Studies for People on the Go. Dont presume these Bible studies are superficial. These 30 studies are filled with questions that are anything but.
Questions have the power to change people. Thats what makes them so important. Through his questions, Jesus inspired people to receive healing they didnt know they needed, confront struggles they didnt know they had, and expose secrets they didnt know they kept. And Jesus invites us to that same ministry today. Thats what makes your partnership with this book so exciting.
With Studies on the Go, youll be armed with all the questions you need to lead 30 studies through the book of John. Your students will not only gain a solid grasp of this book of the Bible, but also theyll have a better understanding of how it applies to their lives. Thats the real goal of Bible study.
Youll notice three kinds of questions in these studiesObservation, Interpretation, and Application. Observation questions take your students to the text (their answers come from the Scripture). Interpretation questions lead your students through the text (their answers come from what their brains are telling them about the Scripture). Application questions help your students live the text (their answers come from how they apply the Scripture). Each study is prefaced by a short introduction that gives shape and form and context to the study. The sessions begin with sharing questions (designed to break the ice) and end with group exercises (designed to bring the lesson home). There are also reproducible quiet time sheets after each study for students who want to dig deeper into the session on their own. (As always, do what suits your group and your schedule the best; you dont have to use every question in the book, and you can feel free to add to them or alter them.)
So thats a brief tour of Studies on the Go. Enjoy this ministry tool, and rememberyour Savior did his finest work through his questions. Perhaps you will, too!
Overview: The first 18 verses of the Gospel of John are a bit like the beginning of a musical, where the orchestra plays an overture of the songs will be heard throughout the show. Here John introduces the themes of his Gospel, and he will explain and emphasize each theme as the Gospel progresses. The first theme to unfold is the role of John the Baptist.
We find perhaps the best synopsis of Johns ministry in verse 7: He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe (emphasis added). Many Israelites believed in John and his ministry, but instead he led them to believe through himso that they directed their belief toward Christ.
John the Baptist is the prime model of a witness to all believerssetting the example that through us we always point people to Jesus. This session will reveal how.
