Here's what we're currently exploring...
Though the four Gospels cover much of the same material, each is incredibly unique. Yet no other writer of the New Testament is more elegant than Luke or has a greater command of the language and culture of the time. From the parables and the Passion of Jesus to the winding narrative of the book of Acts, Luke draws readers into joining the story for themselves. Our lessons for this unit will show us that we are more than readers or spectators, we will become participants in the ongoing, evolving, living community centered on the risen Christ, Jesus of Nazareth.
This unit explores the Psalms as companions on the journey from Easter to Pentecost, guiding us along “paths of righteousness.” Drawing inspiration from the disciples’ walk to Emmaus, these lessons remind us that God meets us in our questions, joys, doubts, and hopes. The psalms teach us honesty before God—celebrating God’s presence while acknowledging our human frailty. As we study prayer, holiness, God’s Spirit, and compassion, we learn how Scripture shapes our lives and leads us toward deeper intimacy with God. These sessions encourage us to walk with Christ in everyday life, opening our hearts to renewed understanding and purpose.
This unit focuses on the life and witness of Stephen, one of the church’s earliest deacons and the first Christian martyr. Through Acts 6–7, we encounter Stephen’s calling, his Spirit-led ministry, his bold preaching, and his courageous death. Stephen’s example challenges us to consider what faithful service looks like today: serving with integrity, speaking truth with love, and remaining steadfast when our convictions are tested. These lessons invite us to examine how God equips ordinary believers for extraordinary ministry in a world hungry for grace and justice.
In this unit, we journey through key stories in Numbers that reveal the struggles and hopes of God’s people in the wilderness. We encounter themes of complaint, fear, rebellion, judgment, and unexpected blessing. Through Israel’s wandering, we recognize our own tendencies toward doubt and resistance—and God’s persistent patience. These sessions help us see how God shapes a community in the midst of difficulty, leading them toward trust, identity, and faithfulness. The wilderness becomes not a place of abandonment but a place of transformation.
This unit examines the foundational commitments that shape a faithful life: devotion to God, care for neighbor, responsibility to family, diligence in work, and belonging within the church. Drawing from both Old and New Testament texts, these lessons invite us to evaluate what truly governs our time, choices, and values. In a world full of distractions and competing loyalties, this unit calls us to reorder our lives around God’s purposes. By aligning our priorities with God’s wisdom, we experience greater clarity, purpose, and joy in daily discipleship.
