The Books of the Bible (4 Volumes)
Join teacher John Walton (Old Testament) and pastor Jeff Manion (New Testament) as they look at the context and purpose for each book of the Bible as part of The Books of the Bible series used in the Community Bible Experience campaign.
Less like a Bible study, more like a book club, the Community Bible Experience is a proven way to engage your whole church in reading the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation. This program of four 8-week segments includes Scripture reading, video teaching, and guided questions to facilitate meaningful discussion.

New Testament Challenge - Session 1 - Luke-Acts
The New Testament asks, "How can the presence of God be restored?" The answer is, God himself enters the planet in Jesus.

The main themes of **Acts** are its places, the sermons that were preached, conflict and persecution, and the movement of the Holy Spirit.

-
The New Testament Challenge - Session 6 - Hebrews, James, Mark
**Hebrews** draws the contrast between the old system and Jesus' new system. The main lesson of the books is that the journey of following God has always been a journey of trust. In **James** we see how faith impacts our daily walk; Scripture is intended not for information but transformation. **...

The New Testament Challenge - Session 7 - 1-2 Peter, Jude, John
**Peter's** letters come from a man whose life lesson could be summed up by saying Jesus is not done with us yet, no matter the failure. He shows us how to endure persecution, and Peter and **Jude** assure us Jesus will keep his promise to return and restore the world. The gospel of **John** was ...

The New Testament Challenge - Session 8 - 1-3 John, Revelation

We are called to love one another, watch out for false teachers, and open our homes to true teachers. **Revelation** is the story of the re-creation of the world. The Bible begins with the presence of God and the loss of ...
