As we delve into God’s Word in 2024—both Old Testament and New—we’ll traverse a range of genres, including the Law, wisdom literature, Gospels, historical narrative, and letters! We'll have the opportunity to wrestle with who we are in light of the Gospel, what perplexing passages teach us about the importance of context and the limits of knowing, learn from the early church, hear the invitation of Jesus, be shaped for following Jesus in real life, and sing ancient songs that announce the arrival of the King.

Throughout the year, we’ll grow in our understanding of God’s Word, grapple with how God’s Word intersects with our culture, and seek continuous transformation as passionate followers of Jesus. Each series will be accompanied by a series overview. Every week will be paired with small group questions, going deeper resources, curriculum for St Bart’s Kids on Sundays, and questions for the CHARGE Youth Sunday discussion group.
