Suggested study path

Who is Jesus?

The Bible presents Jesus as the eternal Son of God who became human, showed us the Father's heart, died for our sins, rose again, and invites us into life with God.

Ask honestly
What does Jesus do or reveal in these verses that changes your picture of God?
Practice today
Read John 1:1-18 slowly. Circle every name or action connected to Jesus, then tell Him one honest thing you want to know.
For this season of life
Compare the answer with the passages, name one decision it affects, and invite wise community into that decision.
A simple prayer
Jesus, show me who You are and lead me into truth.

Peace in a loud week: a seven-minute worship plan

  1. Arrive

    Put devices down. Take one slow breath. Ask the Holy Spirit to make Jesus clear.

  2. Read

    John 14:27 — Jesus gives a peace the world cannot manufacture.

  3. Picture the story

    Imagine carrying a cup filled to the edge through a crowded room. What spills often shows what has filled us. Jesus invites us to let His words fill the heart before pressure arrives.

  4. Talk honestly

    What part of this story helps you see Jesus' love?

  5. Pray

    Jesus, quiet what is false, strengthen what is good, and guide our next wise step.

  6. Practice

    Place one phone away for ten minutes and listen carefully to one person.

  7. Bless

    May the grace of Jesus, the love of the Father, and the presence of the Holy Spirit guide us today.
