John in 21 Weeks
One chapter a week. Read it Monday through Wednesday, and meet Thursday evening to go through it together. Every week has four parts: the film, the Bible study, a worksheet with room to write, and the leader guide — plus a Chosen episode to watch and test against the text.
“But these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.”John 20:31

The seven full films, three chapters each, are linked from the Film tab of every week. Scripture: NASB 1995.
Each week page has a The Chosen tab with the episode, the scene, and where the show differs from the text. The Chosen is a drama, not Scripture. Watch it to picture the people and places, then test every scene by the text — “examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11). God’s Word is the truth; where the film differs, the Word wins.
