Introduction to the study
Read the introduction
Remaining in Christ – I am statements in John, Introduction
How to use these materials:
Each week of the study will include
- The scripture for the week
- A teaching video about 10 minutes in length about the scripture
- Notes on the teaching
- A set of questions for reflection and a scribble sheet for thoughts.
Suggestions:
All except the video are pdf documents. All will open in a new tab; close the tab to return to this page.
Small group leaders may want to print hard copies of the documents to hand out to their groups.
If your Internet connection is weak, download the video to a computer before the group gathers.
We suggest the group reads the scripture prior to watching the video. Read notes after watching the video.
Choose one or two questions to discuss in the small groups. Suggest group members reflect on the rest of the questions on their own during the week coming up.
