We have chosen the Gospel of John to start off our Discipleship studies because of its rich teaching on the fundamentals of what it means to come to believe in Jesus Christ, its profound teaching on the Deity of Jesus Christ and its practical teaching on living as a disciple of Christ.

The Gospel of John has been called "the profoundest book in the world" and at the same time it is noted that it is "simple enough for a child to wade in but deep enough for the scholar and the most seasoned saint to swim in." (Warren W. Wiersbe in Be Alive).  As we 'wade' and 'swim' through this Gospel together we will be asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to us what He wants us to see which will help us to grow in intimacy with Him, in our Christ like character and in service for Him and others. Part of discipleship is learning to live by God's values and to model Christ's example. We will be searching the Gospel of John together, on Sundays and in Sermon Based Life Groups, to discover those values and Christ's example in order to apply them and allow them to transform our lives.
