Wow! We made it through episode 1! After some crazy technical difficulties, and minor on camera blunders, we got it to work out! The learning curve is strong with this one, LOL. Grace people, grace! Stacey and I covered some great content on the historical context of the gospels and discussed the different forms of the greek word for "Word" (logos) in John 1:1-5. We also discussed a little about Jesus being both the Light and the Life, and how that corresponded to fear. (Which I thought was pretty cool!) LOOKING FORWARD: Next week we will dive a little deeper into the difference of Jesus being 100% God and 100% Man, and try to stay on point to jump into verses 6-13 with the testimony of Johnny B and the significance of being called children of God. Whoop! Whoop! ________________________________________________________________________________________________ BRINGING IT TO LIFE: This week's Life Application is: - Identify one area in your life where you can intentionally reflect the light of Jesus to someone else's darkness. This could be through acts of kindness, forgiveness, or simply sharing encouraging words. GETTING STRONGER: Weekly Challenge (Make sure you keep a journal!) Think about the significance of John 1:1-5 in your own life, and write down how the concepts of Jesus as the Word (Living Word) and the Light shining in the darkness, impact your understanding of who Jesus is. Encouragement: Engage in the comments or with our private FB Group and post a takeaway that was significant, or something you learned from this week's study.
