This quarter has three units tracing God’s work through the Holy Spirit to empower disciples for the Christian faith.
UNIT 1 • THE PLEDGE OF GOD’S PRESENCE: This is a five-lesson study of John’s Gospel with a concluding lesson from Mark’s Gospel. These students focus on Jesus’ teaching about and promise of the Holy Spirit.
UNIT 2 • THE COMMUNITY OF THE BELOVED DISCIPLES: This is a five-lesson study for the Easter season. The Scriptures under consideration draw from 1 Corinthians as well as 1, 2, and 3 John. These letters provide a window into the work of the Holy Spirit in the community of faith.
UNIT 3 • ONE IN THE BOND OF LOVE: This is a four-lesson study of 1 Corinthians. This is a careful study of the final chapters of Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth. These lessons move the learners to see the connection between loving one another and living as Christ’s witness in the world.
