God is inviting us to know Him deeply, to understand the times, and to participate with Him in what He is doing. Join us as we take time to know the real Jesus. We’ll slow down and read through John one chapter a day, going deeper with journaling, worship songs, and impactful videos. Jesus disrupts life as we know it and calls us to a new way of thinking, a new way of doing life.
Invite your family and friends to join you for the next three weeks as we focus on Jesus.
MONDAY – JOHN 1
Watch 3 video clips — word-for-word adaptations of today’s chapter (Good News Version). Each is about 3 minutes.
Grab your Bible and a pen or highlighter. Read (or listen while you read) John 1 in your Bible, highlighting or underlining sections that especially speak to you. You’ll do this each day. (Hint: The audio link is set to NIV; you can select other versions.)
Then look back at the chapter, especially the parts that you highlighted. Journal (use printable page) and/or discuss with others – What does today’s passage tell you about Jesus? What is God saying to your heart? How will you respond?
-
- You can do this alone, just you and God, journaling in your room or outside in your yard. When you journal, let your words be part of a conversation with God, a conversation He initiated in today’s chapter.
- Or connect with a friend by phone or in person and share your journals daily or weekly.
- Families: This John study is designed for all ages. Give young children paper and crayons; have them draw something they hear while the family is listening. Advanced readers can follow along in their Bibles as the audio is played; others can just listen. After that, all can journal, using plain paper, and then share what they are learning.
