Come join our study of the Gospel of John. This gospel is different from the other 3. The Gospel of John is unique.

1. 90 % of the material it contains can not be found in the other Gospels.

2. John wrote his account a full generation after the Synoptic authors.

3. John wrote his gospel after the fall of Jerusalem He most likely saw this as an evangelistic opportunity.

The author gives us a glimpse of what it means to believe in Jesus as a source of light and life. John shows us an eternal and living God. Some key themes found in the Gospel of John are: discerning light from darkness, God's love for His people, true humanity and divinity of Jesus, and the choice to believe in God's power over death.

I believe you will not be disappointed and that you will see your growth in your walk with our Father.
