a few words

Grace and Truth (John 1:14) 20.05.2026 2:48 ↓

Two words that take us back to one of the most extraordinary moments in the Old Testament

Dwelt Among Us (John 1:14) 19.05.2026 2:27 ↓

"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." The Word pitched his tent among us and the glory of God moved in.

Flesh (John 1:14) 18.05.2026 2:07 ↓

"The Word became flesh." A shocking idea...

Children of God (John 1:12-13) 17.05.2026 2:17 ↓

"He gave them the right to be children of God..."

Received Him (John 1:12) 16.05.2026 2:47 ↓

"To all who received him, who believed in his name." Believe means trust.

His Own (John 1:11) 15.05.2026 1:44 ↓

"He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him." Not just the world failing to notice a stranger. This is coming home, and not being received.

The World Did Not Know Him (John 1:10) 14.05.2026 1:57 ↓

"He was in the world, and the world came into being through him, yet the world did not know him." The maker, unrecognised by what he made.

The True Light (John 1:9) 13.05.2026 2:45 ↓

"The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world." True doesn't just mean real. It means ultimate, the source behind every glimpse of light we've ever known.

Not the Light (John 1:7-8) 12.05.2026 2:32 ↓

"He came as a witness to testify concerning that light." Not the source, but a faithful reflection.

Sent from God (John 1:6) 11.05.2026 3:03 ↓

John 1:6 "There was a man sent from God whose name was John." The first human character walks onto the page. What defines him?

Word and Light (John 1:1-5) 10.05.2026 2:31 ↓

John 1:1-5 From Word to Light. A pause before the story begins.

The Darkness (John 1:5) 09.05.2026 2:25 ↓

John 1:5 "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John doesn't pretend the darkness isn't there. But...

The Light of All People (John 1:4) 08.05.2026 1:59 ↓

John 1:4 "In him was life, and that life was the light of all people." From the very first words of the Bible, light has a source. John says it has come into the world.

In Him Was Life (John 1:4) 07.05.2026 2:25 ↓

John 1:4 "In him was life, and that life was the light of all people." What John means by life.

All Things (John 1:3) 06.05.2026 2:00 ↓

John 1:3 "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." The one we've been getting to know made everything that exists.

He Was With God (John 1:2) 05.05.2026 2:04 ↓

John 1:2 "He was with God in the beginning. Not repetition. John knows what we might do with an idea this big.

Was God (John 1:1) 04.05.2026 2:45 ↓

John 1:1 "The Word was God" The most explosive phrase in the sentence.

With God (John 1:1) 03.05.2026 1:42 ↓

John 1:1 "The Word was with God" More than just alongside, face to face.

Was the Word (John 1:1) 02.05.2026 1:48 ↓

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word." Why did John choose this word, and what does it tell us about who Jesus is?

In the Beginning (John 1:1) 01.05.2026 1:35 ↓

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word". A new beginning.
