The Houston Bible Study April Meeting

We're continuing studying the Gospel of John, now in chapter 3! I'm looking forward to seeing everybody!!!

_Below is info if you're new -- some ground rules to help the conversation flow____

People interested to study the Bible come from so many different backgrounds. The main thing we have in common is an interest in Scripture. Therefore, let's look at the text in the Gospel of John. All you need is an interest to read and discuss the Gospel of John and a willingness to respect a few ground rules:

-- a sincere interest in the text
-- equal time to everyone who wants to share their opinions (please self-monitor to make sure you don't dominate the conversation )
-- respect for others' interpretations
-- openess to looking solely at the text with no references to commentaries of scholars/preachers; please do not make copies of other peoples'/scholars' interpretations to pass around or read aloud to the group the interpretation in your Bible. Just read the text for yourself and formulate your own thoughts about it
-- feel okay about not making this a prayer time
-- save research (like extensive cross-referencing) for after the study and share your findings (verbally) the beginning of the next study.
-- We'll try to keep a good pace of reading, sharing, reading further, sharing further . . .
-- Please refrain from ordering alcohol as we could have recovering alcoholics join the study

I'll provide copies of the text. You don't have to bring a Bible.

Hope to see you!!!
