The Gospel of John
I teach adult Sunday School classes from the Scriptures. Below are all my notes for all the teaching projects I''ve been involved with.
The Sevens
A set of PowerPoint presentations that cover the 7 signs/miracles of Jesus, and His 7 "I Am" statements, which John recorded in his Gospel.
Signs 1 (water into wine) and 2 (healing of the Nobleman’s son)
Signs 3 (paralytic at Bethesda), 4 (feeding 5000+), and 5 (walking on water)
Signs 6 (born blind) and 7 (raising Lazarus)
The names of God, I AM 1 (Bread of Life), and I AM 2 (Light of the World)
I AM 3 (Door of the Sheep), I AM 4 (Good Shepherd), I AM 5 (Resurrection and the Life), I AM 6 (Way, Truth, Life), and I AM 7 (True Vine)

The Gospel of John
A dialogue (in outline form) that details the entire Gospel. Starting with an extended introduction, followed by an explanation of the 7 signs and 7 "I Am" statements, going back to cover what I call "the passed-over passages", and finishing with the last days of Jesus on earth, His death, His resurrection, and His last times with His disciples.
