When Paul said goodbye to the elders at Ephesus, he could say with a clear conscience that he had not held back from declaring “the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). Most of us who teach want the same thing for our classes. We want them to know the whole Bible, not just the familiar parts.
That’s the idea behind The Whole Counsel Sunday School Series, now available for the very first time!
Every book, Genesis to Revelation
The series covers all 66 books of the Bible in 24 studies:
Nineteen New Testament series, Matthew through Revelation, from The King and His Kingdom (Matthew, 26 lessons) to The Lamb on the Throne (Revelation, 22 lessons).
A five-quarter Old Testament survey, The Promise Unfolds, which traces God’s promise from creation through the last of the prophets. Each lesson ends by pointing to Christ.
That’s 367 lessons in all, enough for years of adult Sunday school.
Built for the person standing in front of the class
Every study comes with an in-depth Leader’s Guide, written for the teacher who has a job, a family and a Saturday that fills up fast. It includes:
a preparation checklist and a 50-minute time plan
suggested wording you can put into your own voice
every fill-in answer in bold, right where it comes up
discussion questions with likely answers, plus backup prompts for when the room goes quiet
cross-references, background notes and pastoral caution notes where they’re needed
Each lesson follows the same pattern: an opening question, background on the passage, three teaching sections straight from the text, and Living It Out, a concrete step each person chooses for the week.
Copy it for your whole class
Every study also includes a Reproducible Student Guide with fill-in notes, discussion questions, daily readings and a take-home question. You buy it once and copy it for everyone in your class, every week, at no extra cost. There are no per-student books to reorder each quarter.
The files are Microsoft Word documents, delivered by email the moment you order, ready to print that same day.
Scripture your class can follow in any Bible
Quotations come from the World English Bible, which is in the public domain. The fill-in blanks follow wording common to most modern translations, so your class can use whatever Bible they bring.
Try it free
The best way to know whether a curriculum fits your class is to teach it. Download two complete lessons, free: “The Mind of Christ” from Philippians and “Ruth: The Kinsman-Redeemer” from the Old Testament survey. Each includes both the Leader’s Guide pages and the Student Guide pages.
