Next Year’s Study & Supporting My Blog

Featured by atozmom, posted in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF)

Hey all!

Image result for arrow pointing off to right

I can’t believe BSF’s John’s Gospel: The Truth is almost over! I am looking forward to the Study of Revelation next year.

Twice a year, I post on donating to my blog. It’s a tiny button in the sidebar on the homepage of my blog.

DONATE HERE

This blog is a labor of love. It started with just me posting my thoughts and has grown into what you see today. My goal is to help you know God more, and I hope I’ve succeeded just a bit!

If you find anything here useful and helpful, please consider a small donation. Anything helps. This money goes towards helping support me in my goal to continue to write novels and grow this blog. It uses PayPal. It’s secure, and you don’t have to have a PayPal account to donate. Clicking on ads helps in a very small way, as well as clicking on the Amazon suggestions and recommendations.

If you choose not to donate to me (perfectly fine!), please consider another charity close to your heart. During the summer months, nonprofits see a dip in donations due to the busy-ness of the season, so any donation helps!

Thank you in advance, and have a great summer! God bless, and take care!

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 30, Day 6: Maturing God’s People

13) Transformative

14) I have to believe He has a plan for me and to go where He calls me.

15) We all need a Savior every day of our lives, and without Jesus, our lives are meaningless. I try to pray more each and every day.

16) Dear Lord, Thank you so very much for the gift of your Son who died for my sins, so I can be with you forever. Help me to take that truth deep into my heart and face every day with gratitude. Help me to be 100% committed to the path you have for me. Help me to love you till the end of time. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 30, Day 6: Maturing God’s People

This year has been great. It hasn’t been without it’s challenges or the devil coming against me when God’s Word got tough. But, when you persevere, you win the race. And I keep running…

I hope you have enjoyed this study of the Book of John as much as I have and have gained maybe a bit from my answers and online Bible study here.

I am so very much looking forward to next year and the Book of Revelation, and I hope you all join me here as always.

I will once again be doing WordGo studies at some point this summer after a bit of a break. I will post those I choose in advance, so you can join me if you like.

God bless, and have a wonderful summer!

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 30, Day 5: Facing Outward

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 30, Day 5: Facing Outward

11) I think it made me a better person overall as a mother and spouse. I discussed what I was learning with my family. And, as I grow, so do others around me.

12) Every day I feel challenged because I’m usually faced with a minor irritation of some sort. However, I am learning to not let others affect me as much. And, I pray more through it.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 30, Day 5: Facing Outward

It’s always good to take what you are learning in Bible study elsewhere, to others and more. You never know who you will touch and who God wants you to touch. It’s often in the most unexpected moments and times that we make the biggest difference in the lives of others.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 5: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s Death and Resurrection

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 5: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s Death and Resurrection

11) Jesus’ steadfast acceptance of his duty and his determination to see it through to the end. He is calm and collected throughout the entire ordeal — his “trials,” torture, and death. It’s incredibly hard to grasp it all, but it deepens my love for Christ and the sacrifices he made for me.

12a) Jesus was the final sacrifice for our sins. His resurrection proves his victory over sin since death is the consequence of sin. His victory over the power of sin, and his victory over the consequences of sin. If Jesus had not risen from the dead, we would still be held captive to sin (1 Corinthians 15:17)

b) It has given me greater insight into the super importance of the resurrection and how it means I am free from sin. Jesus went through a lot to save all of us, and for that I’m eternally grateful.

c) It gives me hope in the days when I have little. It gives me peace when those around me die that I will one day be with them and see them again.

13) The care that Nicodemus and Joseph took with Jesus’ body. It was worshipping him in such a special and beautiful way.

14) No matter our sins, Jesus forgives us. There truly is no more powerful message in the Bible. With Jesus, there’s a way. When you declare your faith in Jesus, it gives hope to others.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 5: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s Death and Resurrection

Great lesson on the full meaning of Jesus’ death for us.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 4: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s Love for His Disciples

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 4: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s Love for His Disciples

9a)

John 13:1-17: Jesus washed his disciples feet not only to wash their feet and do something nice for them but to also give them an example of how to treat others.

John 14:1-4: Jesus prepares a place for his disciples (and all believers) in heaven. This is an eternal investment.

John 14:15-21: Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit (and to all believers) to help guide them and be with them all the days of their lives. They will feel Jesus’ presence and love every day, too.

John 16:1-5: Jesus reveals what will happen to the disciples in the future (aka persecution and rejection) so that they will be prepared for it.

b) It reveals not only his love for his disciples, but also his love for all people since the disciples were the ones entrusted to spread the Good News to the ends of the earth.

c) He has kept me faithful, able to do each week as it comes. He has grown my Biblical knowledge and my spiritual knowledge. Ultimately, the more time I have spent with Him, the closer I grew.

10a) He loves us infinitely. He prays for our protection, our sanctification through the Word and through him, that we can have his glory and be one with God the Father, have unity, and that everyone will know how much Jesus loves us. It reveals that there is no greater love in all of existence.

b) It encourages me to pray this prayer, to believe this prayer is for me, to believe in Jesus’ love for me, to study his Word, and to remember we have God’s glory within us every day of our lives. It can be hard to remember Jesus’ love for me in the midst of sorrow, so this helps.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 4: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s Love for His Disciples

There is no greater power than love, and seeing Jesus’s love for his disciples and me is what we all need.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 3: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s “I Am” Statements

by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 3: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s “I Am” Statements

7a)

John 6:35, 41, 48, 51: I am the bread of life.

John 8:12: I am the light of the world.

John 10:7, 9: I am the gate for the sheep.

John 10:11,14: I am the good shepherd.

John 11:25: I am the resurrection and the life.

John 14:6: I am the way and the truth and the life.

John 15:1: I am the true vine.

b) I am the light of the world connects to John’s theme that light is God and heaven and darkness is rejection of Jesus, leading to hell. I am the resurrection and the life and I am the way and the truth and the life all point to how belief in Jesus as our Lord and Savior leads to eternal life. I am the way and the truth and the life points to Jesus and God’s laws as truth in this world. I am the bread of life speaks to Jesus being all that we need and how he provides all that we need. I am the gate for the sheep speaks to rejection and belief since you must pass through the gate to eternal life. I am the good shepherd speaks to how belief in Christ is for all of us. I am the true vine speaks to Jesus as the truth.

8 ) Jesus is all that we need. He provides all that we need. To be saved, all you have to do is follow him. Jesus is for everyone. Jesus loves us. Jesus leads and guides us through all of our troubles, no matter what they are.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 29, Day 3: Review & Reflect on Jesus’s “I Am” Statements

I love these statements. It puts Jesus into very simple terms and symbols we all can understand.
