As we delve into God’s Word in 2025—both Old Testament and New—we’ll traverse a range of genres, including the Gospels, letters, historical narrative, and Law! We'll have the opportunity to wrestle to consider the Glory of God, spiritual disciplines, the heart of mission, our relationship with creation, and what it looks like to live expectantly as we await the arrival of the King of Kings.
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.
