      COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU!

      A BIBLE STUDY YOU CAN DO!

      Hey! Did you know that a blockbuster movie is in production right in your own neighborhood? We need all kinds of help! There’s definitely a place for you on the set.

      We know you may have experience as a director from Jesus in the Spotlight, a film that featured the early part of Jesus’ life and ministry. Now, due to popular demand, we’re filming the sequel, Jesus—Awesome Power, Awesome Love, the second part of this exciting story. Even if this is your first time on a movie set, we know you’ve got what it takes. In fact, each week we’ll find a different place for you on the film crew.

      The book you’re holding is designed to help you capture on film the heart of the story—and understand what it means for you! It’s called an inductive Bible study. That word inductive means that this Bible study is set up to help you discover what the book of John means. Instead of reading what someone else says the story means, you’ll look at the Bible passages and figure it out for yourself.

      Let’s get those cameras rolling!

      NOT JUST SPECIAL EFFECTS!

      JOHN 11

      Many actors think no one on the set is as important as their makeup artist. That just may be true this week as we film a very spectacular scene. Are you up for the challenge? We know you’ll do a great job! Now, quiet on the set, and let’s get started….

      PASS THE POPCORN!

      Praying is a great way to start a day on the set. Take a minute to ask God to help you understand His Word—and try to do that every time you open your Bible. In a few weeks, praying before you read the Bible just may become a wonderful habit. Now why did John write about Jesus’ life—and why is it worth our effort to make it into a movie? John himself tells us.

      Read John 20:30-31:

      30 Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

      31 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.

      According to John 20:30, has John recorded all the signs or miracles that Jesus performed? Yes or No (circle one)

      What part of the verse tells you? Underline it.

      WHAT did John want his readers to believe after reading his book?

      John 20:31 WHAT happens when a person believes this? Circle the answer in the verse or write it out below.

      When a director plans a movie, he first creates storyboards. A storyboard is a rough sketch of each main scene, and today those sketches will help you know what kind of makeup you’ll need. Read John 11. In the spaces below, draw a picture or write a short description of each of the following scenes from John 11. Then, below the box, give each scene a title that focuses on the main event (we’ve done the first as an example).

      We’re going to memorize important verses like the one that follows. It’s important to remember the storyline of your script (and Gods Word)!

      NOW SHOWING!

      I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.

      —John 11:25-26

      Write this verse on an index card and read it aloud three times a day. Then try to say it without looking. Have it memorized by the end of the week. This week your verse is John 11:25-26. So grab an index card and get started. Memorizing verses will help you keep in mind the awesome power and awesome love you can have in your life.

      SCAN THE SCRIPT!

      With your sense of color and style, a creative makeup artist like you will be great at today’s project. Grab your colored pencils. You’ll need them as you find key words.

      What are key words? They are words that unlock the meaning of Scripture by showing what is most important. Marking key words will help you figure out what the Bible is teaching. (Daily prayer helps, too!)

      Key words are usually used over and over again.

      Key words are important.

      Key words are used by the writer for a reason.

      Now turn to pages 123-138. We call those pages Observation Worksheets, and that’s where you’ll study the script and mark each key
