Explorer's Bible Study on Romans, Galatians & James (DOWNLOAD)
The Apostle Paul, who was called, committed, and courageous, was the author of two of the three epistles that are covered in this study. Romans, the first epistle in the New Testament, is considered by many to be the foundational document of Biblical doctrine. The essential truth of justification through faith alone is central to this book. The book of Galatians builds on this foundation and continues to demonstrate the inability of the law to justify. James, the final book in this study, emphasizes godly behavior – the working out of our faith. (30 Lessons)

Explorer's Bible Study on the Gospel of John (DOWNLOAD)
“In the beginning was the Word.” These opening words from the Gospel of John draws a portrait of Jesus as the Divine Logos, the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus has a dual role as Revealer and Redeemer. He came to reveal the Father and to take away “the sin of the world.” As the Logos, Jesus continued God's creative and redemptive work, turning water to wine and giving sight to a blind man. As the Revealer, Jesus revealed that He and the Father were one, so those who saw Him, saw the Father. All that Jesus does and says points beyond and above to the knowledge of God, through Jesus' revelation of the Father, which reaches its fulfillment in His death on the cross and His triumphant resurrection from the grave.

Explorer's Bible Study on the Gospel of Matthew (DOWNLOAD)
This gospel provides the bridge from the Old Testament to the New through the genealogy of Jesus. The life of Christ is given in such a manner as to form part of the history and life of the Jewish nation and therefore as the fulfillment of the blessing promised to Abraham. Jesus is portrayed as the newborn King of the Jews, as the promised Messiah, and the fulfillment of prophecy. In this study we come in contact with the Living Person, Jesus Christ. We can see Jesus as He was: fully human and yet the King of Kings. (30 Lessons)
