Written That You Might Believe

A 13-Lesson Gospel of John Bible Study with Discussion Questions for Sunday School Classes, Small Groups, and Personal Study

Who is Jesus Christ? Can we really believe His claims? What do His miracles reveal about His identity? And what difference does believing in Jesus make in our everyday lives?

These are some of the most important questions we will ever ask. They are also the questions at the heart of the Gospel of John.

Near the end of his Gospel, John explains why he wrote his account of Jesus' life:

“But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” — John 20:31 (NIV)

John didn't simply want his readers to know more about Jesus. He wanted them to believe in Jesus, trust Him, follow Him, and discover the abundant life that only He can give.

Written That You Might Believe is a 13-lesson, question-based Bible study guide exploring selected passages from the Gospel of John. Designed for adult Sunday School classes, small group Bible studies, and personal study, this book examines the identity, miracles, teachings, and promises of Jesus Christ.

Whether you're a longtime Christian seeking to deepen your faith, a new believer learning to follow Jesus, or someone exploring Christianity, these lessons will help you discover why Jesus is worthy of your trust.

Good Questions Have Groups Talking

The best Bible studies don't happen when one person does all the talking. They happen when people open their Bibles, ask meaningful questions, share their experiences, and discover God's truth together.

That is the philosophy behind Josh Hunt's Good Questions Have Groups Talking Bible study series.

Rather than simply presenting information for students to memorize, each lesson encourages participants to engage with Scripture, think deeply about what it means, and consider how its teachings apply to everyday life.

Each lesson includes engaging discussion questions, biblical background, insights from respected Christian authors and Bible teachers, and practical applications that challenge participants to put God's Word into practice.

The questions are designed to get people talking—not simply to test what they already know.

More Than Bible Knowledge—A Life-Changing Encounter with Jesus

It is possible to know a great deal about Jesus without really knowing Jesus.

You can memorize Bible verses, attend Sunday School, participate in church activities, and even teach a Bible study without experiencing the abundant life Jesus came to give.

The Gospel of John invites us into something deeper.

Jesus doesn't merely offer information about God. He reveals God. He doesn't merely teach us how to find life. He is the Life. He doesn't simply point toward the truth. He is the Truth.

Throughout John's Gospel, Jesus offers light to those walking in darkness, living bread to the spiritually hungry, peace to the fearful, sight to the blind, and hope to those facing death.

And He still offers those things today.

Ideal for Sunday School Teachers and Small Group Leaders

If you're a Sunday School teacher or small group leader, you know that one of the greatest challenges is getting people involved in meaningful Bible discussion.

Written That You Might Believe provides ready-to-use Bible study questions, helpful commentary, and practical applications to make preparation easier and discussions more engaging.

The 13-lesson format makes it especially useful for a quarterly adult Sunday School curriculum, a 13-week small group Bible study, a church discipleship class, or an individual study of the Gospel of John.

Whether you're teaching a class of five or fifty, the goal is the same: to help people engage with God's Word, build meaningful relationships, and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Discover What It Means to Believe

John spent years walking with Jesus. He heard His teachings, witnessed His miracles, watched Him die, and encountered Him alive after the resurrection.

And after all he had seen and heard, John wanted the world to understand one great truth: Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and through believing in Him we can have life.

That is the invitation of this Bible study.

Come with your questions. Open your Bible. Examine the evidence. Discover the Savior. Strengthen your faith. And experience the life Jesus came to give.
