Journey Series Bible Study Guides

Journey Series Bible Study Guides

Journey is more about the experience along the way and less about getting there. That is definitely true about every series in the Journey Small Group Bible Study. Journey was developed as a tool to help students dig into scripture together. Each lesson includes an introductory story, ice breaker questions, the bible passage for study and discussion, additional questions for a recap meeting during the week and background material to dig even deeper. Journey gets us into the bible, challenges our understanding of God and his mission while deepening our relationships with one another. If your looking for weekly program and bible study material you need to check out Journey.

These Journey Series Bible Study PDF resources are downloadable and are also available for purchase in hard copies through AdventSource.

Characters Who Made a Difference

The Bible tells the story of God through stories of people like Abraham, Deborah, Barnabas, John, Ruth and Matthew. Each bible character provides a unique window into who God is through their interaction with him. If God can work through these individuals and others like them he can use us to make a difference on campus or where we live!

Before All Things

The spiritual issues that Paul addressed in the Colossian house church are similar to those on today’s campus. Paul is inviting us to come out of the shadows and live in the greater life of Christ and his love. He is before all things!

Everything Under the SUN SON

In Ecclesiastes Solomon lamented the meaninglessness of life. Life under the sun was only a vapor – dust in the wind! But the gospel of Jesus Christ tells a different story – the story of an eternal future where everything has meaning and our life can only be estimated by the life of God himself. Which account of life is true?

The Good Life

What truly constitutes a “good life”? Is it the American dream? As Millennials and GenZers come of age amidst economic recessions, a global pandemic, skyrocketing mortgage rates, dwindling job security, postponed marriage and family plans, and insurmountable student debt, this question takes on renewed urgency.

Leading from the Wall

What can Nehemiah teach us about transformational leadership on campus? Nehemiah led from the ruins amidst broken down walls and continuing attack from inside and outside forces. Building spiritual communities on secular campuses is not unlike rebuilding walls that have been rammed and broken down.

Life at the Center

Someone once wrote, “find your center, and let the rest of the world spin around you,” which sounds really good and like something we might hear on campus. But what if your center isn’t all that great or a bit orbital? Of course that would place us at the center of our own universe which can’t possibly be true. Still, living a well centered life makes a whole lot of sense, but centered on what or whom?
