John 8:12-20 (February 11th)

Read John 8:12-20.
If people cannot understand Jesus, why should they listen to him?
The Pharisees claim Jesus is not to be trusted because he comes from outside their system. But since they cannot explain the authority he has, they should listen to him and take seriously his claim to come from the Father. Again, the problem is they lack to the humility to realise they might be in the dark about God. But when we begin following Jesus we see the light and know the truth of what he says (v12).

Family Bible Time

Read: John 8:12 (the second half is a good memory verse to learn)
Think: Why does Jesus say we need to follow him?
What happens if you try and walk in the dark?
Pray: That we would walk in Jesus' light today
Do: Blindfold obstacle course

Planning your Visit

Welcome to St John's Church!

We are so delighted that you have found our website. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Stuart Hull and Nigel Day (Churchwardens)
