Seven Signs in John: A Simple Process for Evangelism and Starting Churches

The 7 Signs are as follows:

1.     The turning of water into wine (John 2:1-12)

2.     The healing of the royal official's son (John 4:46-54)

3.     The healing of the paralytic at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-17)

4.     The feeding of the five thousand (John 6:1-14)

5.     The walking on water (John 6:15-25)

6.     The healing of the man born blind (John 9:1-41)

7.     The raising of Lazarus (John 11:1-46)

The way it works is that each week the person or persons you are sharing with is encouraged to read one of the stories once every day. So in the first week, they read the story of Jesus turning water into wine every day. At the end of the week when you get together and read the passage again together, you ask four simple questions and have a discussion about the passage. The questions are:

1.     What does this story say to you about people?

2.     What does this story say to you about Jesus?

3.     What does this story have to say about you?

4.     Who needs to hear this story?
