Student resources

We are excited to announce that our new study, The Bible’s Big Story in the Old Testament: CASKET EMPTY Student Edition, will be available early spring. The study has been written for students in an engaging style, and each week students learn about God’s redemptive plan in the Old Testament and discover how it points to Jesus. The goal of the student edition is to introduce teenagers to the Bible’s Big Story, and ultimately, to Jesus. It’s ideal for youth groups, but it can also be used for home schooling or college discipleship groups.

The Old Testament portion of the student edition is 18 weeks, which corresponds to the 18 week Old Testament Bible Study for adults. This means that if your church is doing a Casket Empty Old Testament Bible Study, the youth in your church can do the companion student edition at the same time. This is a great way to share the Scriptures with the youth in your church and with your own teenagers.
