Behold and Believe

7-Week Women's Bible Study from the Gospel Coalition Explores Jesus's "I Am" Statements in the Gospel of John Seeing is believing. If we want to know who Jesus is and why he is important to our lives, we need to take a closer look at what he said about himself. Jesus describes himself as the bread of life, the light of the world, the good shepherd, and more. His bold words invite us to behold him-and then to trust him. Whether you've never read the Bible, have followed Jesus for years, or find yourself somewhere in between, this 7-week Bible study from Courtney Doctor and Joanna Kimbrel explores the question, Who is Jesus? Using the "I Am" statements in the Gospel of John, readers will learn how to observe, interpret, apply, and reflect on key Bible verses about Jesus's identity. Weekly prayers, memory verses, brief commentaries, and discussion questions help women to see Jesus, trust him alone for salvation, and proclaim his goodness to others. - Inductive Bible Study: This 7-week study teaches individuals and groups how to observe, interpret, and apply key Bible passages about Jesus's identity - Explores Jesus's "I Am" Statements: "I am the bread of life"; "I am the light of the world"; "I am the door to the sheep"; "I am the good shepherd"; "I am the resurrection and the life"; "I am the way, the truth, and the life"; and "I am the true vine" - From the Gospel Coalition: Studies correspond with sessions from TGC Women's 2024 Conference (video access will be available after the event) - A Great Resource for Women Ages 16 and Older
