Bible Study Session Helps:
This series again reminds me of all that God desires to do as we look out over our rooftops at the opportunities God has placed before us as a church. Pray God will continue to use our study of John to soften our hearts and burden our souls for the salvation of those in our community.

About this weeks study: Changes in the target.
I have tweaked the TARGET, teaching point headings, and the Scripture passage references we are studying for each section in hopes of helping us remain focused on the main target of these passages. I feel we need to be careful with the target of the study this week so as not to take away from what the passage is primarily focused on – the Deity of Christ and His work. The content pushes strongly toward what we are to do to minister to people with physical needs, which is applicable, but it is not the primary focus of these passages. I have attempted to provide helps that will teach to both.

Below is the downloadable Word document for this weeks teaching helps.
Feel free to copy, paste, delete, or edit any of the content.
