John 19:1–20:23 Week 12 brings us to the heart of our series, That You May Believe. From the beginning, John has been showing us who Jesus is and inviting us to believe in Him. Now everything comes into focus. Jesus is mocked, beaten, and condemned, even though He has done nothing wrong. The One who came to bring life willingly gives His own life. And when Jesus declares, “It is finished,” He is n...  Read More

John 16:5–18:40 Week 11 brings us even closer to the cross, and we get to hear something remarkable—Jesus praying. He knows what lies ahead: betrayal, arrest, suffering, and death. Yet His attention remains on those He loves. He promises the coming of the Holy Spirit, encourages His disciples to take heart because He has overcome the world, and then turns to His Father in prayer. And here's what m...  Read More

John 14:1–16:4 Week 10 brings us into one of the most personal conversations Jesus has with His disciples. He knows the cross is approaching and that His followers are about to face confusion, fear, and loss. Yet instead of focusing on what He is about to suffer, Jesus turns His attention to them. “Let not your hearts be troubled,” He says. He promises them His peace, the presence of the Holy Spir...  Read More

John 12:37-43; 13:31-38 Week 9 brings us into the final hours Jesus spends with His disciples before the cross. He has performed miracles, taught openly, and revealed who He is, yet many still refuse to believe. Then, in a quiet room with His closest followers, Jesus does something unexpected. The One who has all authority kneels down and washes their feet. The King takes the place of a servant.Wh...  Read More

John 11:28–57; 12:1–36 Week 8 begins at a graveside, where Jesus does something deeply human... He weeps. He knows He is about to raise Lazarus from the dead, yet He enters into the grief of those He loves. Then, with a simple command, He calls Lazarus out of the tomb. In these two moments, we see both the tender compassion of Jesus and His extraordinary power over death.But not everyone responds ...  Read More

John 10:1–42; 11:1–27 Week 7 begins with a shepherd who knows His sheep and ends with a grieving woman who wonders why Jesus didn't come sooner. Along the way, Jesus makes two remarkable claims: “I am the Good Shepherd” and “I am the resurrection and the life.” He is not simply someone who offers guidance or comfort. He is the One who knows us, loves us, lays down His life for us, and holds us sec...  Read More

John 8:31-59; 9:1-41 Week 6 is about seeing clearly. Jesus talks about freedom, identity, and truth, and then makes one of His boldest claims: “Before Abraham was, I AM.” Some who are certain they can see the truth refuse to recognize Him. Then Jesus meets a man who has never been able to see at all—and gives him sight.As the story unfolds, the man who was blind begins to see more and more clearly...  Read More

John 7:1–8:30 Week 5 begins with Jesus’ own brothers telling Him what He should do and ends with His declaration: “I am the light of the world.” In between, the crowds argue over who He is, He invites the thirsty to come and drink, and a woman facing condemnation encounters His grace. Everyone seems to have an opinion about Jesus. He keeps revealing who He really is.As the week unfolds, Jesus chal...  Read More

John 6:16–71 Week 4 begins in the dark, with the disciples caught on rough water, and ends with many of Jesus’ followers walking away. In between, Jesus makes one of His clearest claims yet: “I am the Bread of Life.” The crowds want another meal. Jesus offers them something far greater—Himself.As the week unfolds, the question shifts from what Jesus can give us to whether Jesus Himself is enough. ...  Read More

John 5:1–6:15 Week 3 keeps pressing on the question John wants us to answer: Who is Jesus? He heals a man who has been unable to walk for decades, confronts religious leaders who question His authority, and makes an astonishing claim—He has the authority to give life. Jesus does not simply do remarkable things. His words and works reveal who He is.Along the way, Jesus points to the evidence: John ...  Read More

John 3:1 - 4:54 Week 2 sets two conversations side by side that could hardly look more different. A respected religious leader comes to Jesus at night, full of questions. A Samaritan woman meets Him at a well in the middle of the day, carrying a story she would rather not tell. Jesus offers them both the same thing, and it is not a better version of the life they already have. It is new life only ...  Read More

Welcome to That You May Believe, our walk through the Gospel of John. John tells us plainly why he wrote: "these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." Each week's guide gives you  Read More
