John 1:1-5
SERIES: The Gospel of John The Gospel Par Excellence SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: Today we begin a new series on the Gospel of John. After a lifetime of study of this book, one scholar calls it “the most amazing book ever written. It is a pool in which a child can wade and an elephant can swim.” [i] It is both simple and profound.
