As a church family we are on a journey to know Jesus more, and with that goal in mind we’re adventuring through the Gospel of John together. Line by line. This is the good stuff. It’s so rich! Regardless of what your relationship with Jesus looks like - There is much to discover. The author Madeline L’engle said that it takes a lifetime to learn a person, as she was writing about marriage. How much more to learn God?
Because there is an endless depth to Jesus, we have a few recommendations on resources that you may find helpful. We plan to release updates as we go, but here are some excellent books, videos and Bible reading plans that we have enjoyed to get you started!
