Scripture:
John 1:18 (KJV) — “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”
🌿 Key Themes Explored
God’s Invisibility and Revelation
God is Spirit (John 4:24), unseen by human eyes.
Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15).
Revelation comes through relationship, not just observation.
Progressive Revelation
From burning bush (Exodus 3) to prophetic visions (Isaiah 6), God reveals Himself in ways suited to the time and people.
Jesus is the fullness of that revelation — the Word made flesh (John 1:14).
Lexson’s Teaching Style
Likely emphasized clarity, scripture layering, and practical application.
May have used analogies like “sunlight through stained glass” — we see the light, not the source directly.

The Heart of the Gospel
Scripture Focus:
John 3:16 (KJV)
“Welcome to Rhoades Well Traveled Ministry’s online Bible study! Today we’re diving into one of the most powerful verses in all of Scripture—John 3:16. Whether you’re joining from your porch, your phone, or your prayer chair, this message is for you.”
🙏 Opening Prayer
“Lord, thank You for Your Word and for the love that reaches every corner of the world. As we study today, open our hearts to understand the depth of Your gift and the power of belief. May this time together bring clarity, comfort, and conviction. Amen.”
📖 Scripture Reflection
John 3:16 is often called the gospel in one verse. It reveals four powerful truths:
1. God’s Love – “For God so loved the world…”
- This love is unconditional, sacrificial, and universal.
- It reaches every person, regardless of background or past.
- Jesus is the ultimate gift—God’s own Son, given freely.
- His life, death, and resurrection are the foundation of our faith.
- Belief is more than agreement—it’s trust, surrender, and relationship.
- Whosoever” means the invitation is open to all.
- Eternal life begins now, with a restored relationship with God.
- It’s a life of hope, purpose, and peace.
💬 Discussion Questions
- Use these for personal reflection or group conversation:
- What does it mean to you that God “so loved the world”?
- How does Jesus being “given” change the way you see God’s love?
