The Gospel of John Chapters 14-17
Taught by James Anderson
Meets in the Upstairs Adult Classroom
God, the Author of life, has made life about relationship. This is the central theme in Jesus' departing statements and instructions before His crucifixion and resurrection. In the Gospel of John, Chapters 14-17, Jesus reveals truths about the Trinity and the relationship realm between the Father, Himself and the Holy Spirit. Jesus gives disciples, then and now, clear instructions on how to live in relationship with the Trinity and with the people in our lives. Come and learn what a difference this makes!
