Description
To be a Christian is to be a student. The word “disciple” means “student”, and before he ascended to Heaven, Jesus’s final command to his students was that they should go into all the world and teach, making more students (Matthew 28:19-20). As Christians in the modern world, our calling is still to be students of Jesus and to help each other in fellowship as we learn about Him and from Him. We are to be Students of the Word, studying the Bible, the written word of God, as we walk as the disciples of Jesus, the living Word.

We have the Testimony!
We've been building up to the Great Reveal: what God's testimony that we've heard so much about really says about Jesus!
We're back for session 100 of "Students of the Word," continuing our verse by verse exploration of the first epistle of John. This in-depth bible study is nearing its completion, as we approach the end of this profound book of the Bible. Join us as we examine the Word of God and its enduring message.
How the Spirit is the primary witness testifying to Jesus as the Christ and Son of God, because the breath is truth - and how God's declaration makes it so.
How Jesus Christ — the one in whom believers trust to overcome the world — came not merely through water alone, but through both water and blood, with the Spirit bearing truthful witness to this full coming as Son and Messiah.
John's incredibly precise description of who exactly is doing all this vanquishing, and in what sense is our faith the victory?
Answering all the questions and solving all the issues!
Overcoming!
Let's think hard about WHY John says we should keep the commandments.
Let's consider what we are to do with God's commandments.
The deceptively simple sentence that starts 1 John 5.
We are in a war zone, but we do not fear. Perfect love drives out that fear. Let's review!
What John says about the one not loving his brother...
Why does John return again to this topic of who loved first?
John begins to discuss how fear functions in our lives, and how it is driven out by love. We also look at what is meant by 'perfect' love and what John's driving at.
Welcome back to Students of the Word! In this session, we're taking a step back to review paragraph 14 of 1 John, focusing on the main idea. It's important to look at the bigger picture and understand themes, instead of just the details. Join us as we dive into bible study!
In John's courtroom drama, we've had the defense attorney, the testimony of the accuser, and we've had the witnesses. Now we get the Judge!
Let's look at the structure of John’s thought, where confessing Jesus as the Son of God and abiding in love frame the central truth: we have come to know and trust the love that God has in us. We examine how "God is love" forms the heart of this passage, connecting belief, love, and mutual abiding with God.
Join us for session 84 of Students of the Word as we continue our in depth bible study of 1 John, focusing on verse 15 in chapter 4. Discover more about this New Testament passage and gain insights for spiritual growth. Let's explore the bible together!
In this session, delve into the role of believers as witnesses testifying that "the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world." Through an examination of the Greek term "soter," we connect this to Old Testament patterns of deliverance, like Moses and the judges, and reflect on the world as both victim and villain in need of God’s transformative love.
