Adult Bible Studies is a reliable companion and guide for learning and growing in the Christian faith.
Spring 2025 Theme: Living Faith
This spring, our Bible lessons follow the theme “Living Faith.” They offer a series of lessons in two units during Lent and the weeks following that encourage us to consider what we need to let go of and what we need to take on as followers of Jesus.
With the help of the Adult Bibles Studies Teacher/Commentary Kit, and DVD, your group will embrace the fact that it’s not just about learning - it’s about living out biblical teachings.
