Unit 1: In the Footsteps of the Savior

F. Timothy Moore

Follow Luke's Gospel from Jesus's boyhood into the launch of his ministry in this four-lesson unit for the season after Epiphany. Meet a twelve-year-old Jesus, slipping away from his parents to sit with the temple teachers. Stand at the Jordan for his baptism and meet John the Baptist, the figure who shaped his calling. Walk with him into the wilderness, where temptation gives way to clarity about what it means to be God's Son. And watch him call Levi the tax collector to discipleship, an invitation that scandalizes the religious establishment. Jesus, it turns out, loves all the wrong people. Four lessons that trace the roots of a ministry still unsettling us today.

Unit 2: Old Testament Prayers

Josh Hays

Prayer is how God's people have always talked to the Lord, long before Pentecost gave it new power. This four-lesson unit explores prayer through four Old Testament voices. Solomon, a young king unsure how to lead, prays for wisdom and receives wealth and honor besides. Hezekiah, facing invasion, skips the war room for the temple and prays for God's rescue. Daniel confesses his people's sins in a prayer of repentance fitting for the start of Lent. And Psalm 61 closes the unit with a prayer of longing, a reminder that no one is ever too far from God to call out, even from "the end of the earth." Four models for a conversation as old as faith itself.

Unit 3: Who Is Jesus?

Matt Snowden

"Who do you say that I am?" Jesus puts the question to his disciples in Mark 8, and it sets the course for this four-lesson Lenten unit. Across four weeks in the Gospel of Mark, we trace the titles Jesus claims for himself: Messiah, God's beloved Son, a ransom for many, the one who comes in the name of the Lord. The disciples struggled to reconcile these titles with their own assumptions about who Jesus should be, and their struggle is instructive for us too. Each lesson adds another piece to a fuller picture of Jesus and his work in the world, building toward a richer answer to the question he asked first.

Unit 4: The Book of Revelation

Lee Canipe and Blake Kendrick

Revelation reads like a fever dream: strange beasts, clashing armies, plagues, sealed scrolls, numbers within numbers. No wonder it leaves most readers dazed. This five-week unit sets out to change that. We'll ground Revelation in its ancient genre, apocalyptic literature, where strange symbolism is the point, not the puzzle. We'll meet John, a believer exiled to Patmos for his faith, writing to others facing persecution of their own. And we'll discover that Revelation isn't meant to frighten anyone. It's a message of hope: in Christ, God has already defeated sin and death.
