Winterl 2024-2024 Theme: Following Jesus
This fall, Daily Bible Study presents a series of readings supporting the theme “Following Jesus.” These readings ask us to consider how the season of Advent reminds us of what compels us to follow Jesus, what it means to be part of Jesus’ beloved community, and the ways we partner with Jesus to fulfill his mission in the world. The daily readings come from Old and New Testament texts, prepare us for the lessons in Adult Bible Studies, and are written by Timothy Merrill, Sue Mink, and Michelle Morris.
