John 01 Round Two: Logos, Johnny B, and Sitting Under a Tree

Start with wonder, not assumptions: John opens by taking us back before time, presenting Jesus as the Word who was with God and is God, the source of life whose light the darkness can’t extinguish. We share why this Gospel is our favorite to hand to new believers and curious skeptics alike, and we map the big picture—authorship, audience, Ephesus roots, and the driving purpose that you would believe and have life in His name.From there, we move through the prologue’s rich themes—Logos, creation, Trinity—and watch John the Baptist step into his role as witness, not rival. His cry, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world,” frames Jesus’ mission with Passover power and points to a salvation that is more than advice; it’s rescue. You’ll hear how the Spirit’s descent marks Jesus as the chosen one and how the earliest followers respond with a simple, transformative rhythm: hear the witness, come and see, stay and learn, then bring a friend.We also talk about skepticism and surprise through Nathanael’s story—“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”—and how one moment of being truly known flips doubt into confession. Along the way, we introduce John’s structure of seven signs and seven “I Am” statements, a design that reveals not just what Jesus does but who He is: Bread of Life, Light of the World, Good Shepherd, Resurrection and Life. This isn’t a distant theology lesson; it’s an invitation to encounter the Lord who sees you where you are, renames your future like Peter’s, and offers grace upon grace.If you’re ready to move beyond a vague idea of Jesus into a living relationship with the Lord and Life-Giver, hit play and join the journey through John.
