One of the incredible things about Scripture is that there is so much information to be learned and absorbed even in the smallest of passages and verses. As we go through this series, we will be taking a close look at the first 18 verses of the gospel of John as we attempt to unpack and gain a better understanding of what he calls “The Word.” During this study, you will learn more about theology, understand the character of God, get to know the person of God, and learn how you can relate to Him more intimately. It is God’s desire to ultimately reveal Himself to His children that we can have a closer relationship with Him. He does this by revealing Himself through His Son and through His Word, which we will learn through this series, are one in the same.

The Work Of The Holy Spirit
December 6, 2020 • Dr. Curt Dodd
The Holy Spirit is like Christmas. He brings gifts and He brings fruit. You and I, as children of God, need to understand how powerful that is for us. We need to live with the kind of hope and that kind of expectation, knowing that God will produce His power in and through our lives for His Kingdom. He will use the gifting of the Holy Spirit and the fruit of the Holy Spirit to mature us in our relationship with Him, and ultimately impact others with that relationship. In this week’s message, we are going to take a look at the different ways the Holy Spirit works in us, through us, and with us so that we can fully experience the power and the gifts that are available to us through the Spirit of God.
The Real Creator

In this week’s message, we are going to be focusing on John 1:3, which says, “Through him, all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made.” As humans with limited minds, we are constantly searching for answers and clarity, specifically when it comes to how this planet and all of creation came about. But when we find ourselves looking too hard for definition, we refuse to acknowledge God for who He is. Scripture makes it very clear that He is the Real Creator. Jesus is the Real Creator.
The Life
February 9, 2020 • Dr. Curt Dodd
The word "life is a very significant word in Scripture. In John's Gospel, it is used 36 times. Normally in John's usage of the word "life," he uses it in reference to eternal life. But as we continue to study John's prologue, we'll learn his usage of this word is more than just eternal life. This is a very important word to look at, which is why we are going to unpack it, because it is in Jesus that we not only find eternal life, but we find life now.
