Book Details
The Gospel of John Bible study goes all the way through the book of John verse by verse. Fun Fact: While the book of John is a gospel, it’s not synoptic. In fact, it’s 90% unique content! John’s writing style gives a behind the scenes informal view of Jesus. The tagline of this Bible study is “Savoring the Peace of Jesus in a Chaotic World”, so it makes sense that Jesus mentions this theme quite a bit (as you’ll discover when you get this study).
Great news! You do NOT have to be an expert to work through this study. You can go in knowing nothing, and walk away with tools and ways to embrace the peace of Jesus. In this Bible study, you’ll dig into who the people are, what role they play, and how it relates to us today. If you feel like you’re constantly on the go and busy with life, this Bible study will give you the opportunity to pause, slow down, rest, and experience Jesus. Don’t be so busy that you miss out on the peace of Jesus. You don’t have to live with lack.
The Gospel of John bible study has so many great features:
- Fun Activities along the way
- Stop & Savor reflection pieces
- Dig Deeper articles for extended learning
- Teaching Videos access
- …and more!
A Word from the Author
In episode 232, “The Gospel of John with Melissa Spoelstra”, she leaves our listeners with a word of encouragement.

Don’t miss the peace of Jesus in this busy, chaotic world. Schedule time, turn off the noise, slow down and savor that God created you, and He loves you, and wants to have a relationship with you.
