Intro to the Gospel Of John

Pastor Haylee provides an overview of the Gospel of John, highlighting its unique characteristics and theological significance. It contrasts John's Gospel with the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) in terms of content, style, and Jesus' portrayal. John's Gospel emphasizes themes such as Jesus' divine identity ("I AM" statements), the Holy Spirit, and the importance of prayer. She also explores John's use of Old Testament Scripture references in his prologue to establish Jesus as God, emphasizing the connection between God's character and atonement for sin. Finally, it invites reflection on how we perceive God and the implications for our personal faith journeys.
