The Open Word

We are fast approaching the end of our study on the Gospel of John.  In this session we look at two chapters, John 16 and 17.  In John 16 Christ is preparing the disciples for his upcoming crucifixion and his sending of the Holy Spirit, and in John 17 we have Christ's Hight Priestly Prayer.

We begin our study of John 15 in which Christ gives us the illustration of the Vine and Branches.  He also prepares the disciples for what lies ahead with his impending crucifixion as well as giving them the promise of the Holy Spirit.

We finish our look at John 15 in which Christ presents himself as the Vine as well as encouraging and comforting the disciples on what lies ahead as he heads to the cross.

We pick up the account of Christ's Upper Room Discourse with the disciples after Judas has left to betray Christ.  We cover some of the most well known sayings of Christ as he prepares the disciples for his impending crucifixion and the sending of the Comforter after he is gone.

We continue our second session on Christ's Upper Room Discourse with the disciples after Judas has left to betray Christ.

We come now to the Upper Room Discourse in the Gospel of John.  In this session we look at the first part of John 13 in which we find Christ washing the feet of the disciples followed by a discussion of who is the greatest in the kingdom - then the departure of Judas from the group who then goes to the religious leaders to arrange the betrayal of Christ.

We complete our study of the first part of John 13 with a look at Christ washing the feet of the disciples followed by a discussion of who is the greatest in the kingdom - then the departure of Judas from the group who then goes to the religious leaders to arrange the betrayal of Christ.

We come to the last week of Christ's earthly ministry in John Chapter 12.  We start out by looking at Christ's anointing in Bethany followed by his Triumphal Entry and last words in the Temple as recorded in John.

We complete our study of John Chapter 12 by looking at Christ's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem and his last words in the Temple as recorded in John.
