Description
This is the last printed edition of the Journeys Bible Study Curriculum for adult learners. It has been a wonderful journey, but the time has come, as it does for all things, for change.
Beginning March 2026, Journeys will be entirely digital—available for download—at minimal cost, via the Judson Press website. We thank those who have been part of the long learning quest through the pages of Journeys and invite you all to join us in this new era of learning, discerning, and spiritual formation.
This quarter explores the powerful and challenging witness of the prophets. In Scripture, prophets were not predictors of the future but faithful messengers who spoke God’s truth into injustice, spiritual decline, and communal crisis, calling people back to covenant faithfulness and hope—even when obedience was costly.
Beginning with foundational leaders such as Moses and Joshua, the lessons trace the development of prophetic leadership in Israel. Learners encounter prophets and prophetesses—including Huldah, Elijah, Micaiah, and Jeremiah—whose faithfulness often put them at odds with political power, cultural expectations, and religious complacency, revealing the courage and discernment required to speak God’s truth.
As the quarter progresses, attention turns to national collapse, exile, lament, and rebuilding. Texts from Ezra, Nehemiah, and Lamentations give voice to repentance, grief, and restoration, holding honesty about loss together with confidence in God’s enduring purposes.
During Lent, the focus shifts to Isaiah’s vision of the Suffering Servant, inviting reflection on redemptive suffering and sacrificial love. The journey culminates in Easter, where resurrection hope proclaims new life, followed by lessons that emphasize renewal, restoration, and faithful discipleship.
Throughout the quarter, learners are challenged to consider what prophetic faithfulness looks like today, speaking truth with courage, living with integrity, and trusting God’s renewing work in every generation.
