Deepen your understanding of Scripture in 2026–2027 with these areas of study:
• Generations: From Canaan to Jerusalem—Joshua, Judges, 1 & 2 Samuel
This quarter looks at ancient Israel’s entry into the promised land. Follow Joshua’s leadership
as the Israelites enter Canaan, consider Israel’s propensity to ignore God through the era of the
Judges, and examine Samuel’s pivotal role as he sets the stage for King David’s glorious reign.
• Power to the People—1 & 2 Peter, 1–3 John, Jude
This quarter focuses on powerful living for a powerless people. These letters address the
scattered and persecuted church of the first century AD, defending the way of Christ by
advising readers to live holy lives.
• Written That You Might Believe—John
This quarter focuses on the Gospel of John. John uses rich imagery and metaphors to testify
to the truth of who Jesus is: the Son of God, the Messiah.
• Just a Closer Walk—Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon
This quarter covers the letters commonly known as the “Prison Epistles.” Explore alongside
the apostle Paul how believers are to interact with one another and the world in Christlike
ways. Paul calls believers to a life of joyful camaradarie, steadiness in hope, and contentment
in God’s provision.
