MasterWork - Essential Messages from God's Servants

MasterWork provides challenging, Christ-centered Bible study material along with a modern perspective from today’s most respected Christian leaders. Renowned authors such as Charles Swindoll, Randy Alcorn, Beth Moore, Charles Stanley, and others draw learners to a deeper level of involvement through daily personal study, weekly group interaction, and key life messages. (Lifeway explanation of Curriculum)

This quarter the curriculum is based on "The Patriarchs" by Beth Moore and "Cries from the Cross" by Erwin Lutzer.  This curriculum leads to healthy discussion and indepth learning of God's Word.

Explore the Bible

The daunting challenge of studying the entire Bible seems much more manageable when viewed through a clearly organized timeline or cycle. Explore the Bible offers a systematic and comprehensive study of Scripture, moving through all 66 Bible books in a sequential fashion, alternating quarter-by-quarter between Old and New Testament studies. Each quarter contains clearly written, thorough expositions of Bible passages, guiding adults verse-by-verse through selected Scriptures. Fall 2007 marks the beginning of a new cycle for Explore the Bible. (Lifeway Resources description of the curriculum)
