December 2025: Developing Advent Virtues

January-April 2026 

Unit 1: Tell the World

In this unit, we celebrate the feast of Epiphany on January 6. Anchored in Matthew 2 and the visit of the magi, Epiphany proclaims God’s saving grace for the whole world. Just as God reached beyond the chosen people to appear to the magi, so God works through us to cross modern divides and welcome all people into the kingdom. The sessions in this unit will remind us that such a day of rejoicing is the reason we are called to tell the world about Jesus.

Unit 2: Tales of Crime and Punishment

In the three Sundays before the beginning of Lent, we will explore stories from Genesis. The story of the “Fall” of Adam and Eve is central to the traditional Christian narrative of sin and salvation. In contrast to Genesis 3, which focuses on sin against God alone, Genesis 4 describes sin committed against another person. As the story continues, corruption spreads until, at last, God decides to destroy the world and start over. As we read these tales of Genesis, may we strive better to appreciate the meaning of Jesus’s saving life and death.

Unit 3: A Call to Endurance

The Scripture passages for this unit explore the book of Hebrews, an ancient sermon in which the preacher-author communicates Christ’s ministry to a congregation in peril and conflict. The first lesson addresses the person of Christ, whose sacrifice connects us to God’s family of faith. The second lesson demands a response: How will we enter into the truth of the gospel today? The third lesson encourages us to move toward perfection as mature disciples of Christ. The fourth lesson delves into Jesus’s sacrifice, which creates and sustains a new covenant with God. The final lesson ties these themes together to assure us of hope and salvation in Christ. In all of this, God’s goal is to free us from sin so we might live for Christ, boldly proclaiming his good news for the world.

Unit 4: Celebrate Jesus

Though the four Gospels cover much of the same material, each is incredibly unique. Yet no other writer of the New Testament is more elegant than Luke or has a greater command of the language and culture of the time. From the parables and the Passion of Jesus to the winding narrative of the book of Acts, Luke draws readers into joining the story for themselves. Our lessons for this unit will show us that we are more than readers or spectators, we will become participants in the ongoing, evolving, living community centered on the risen Christ, Jesus of Nazareth.
