Fathom Bible Studies: The Coming of Jesus Leader Guide (2 Samuel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Matthew, Luke): A Deep Dive Into the Story of God

The Coming of Jesus is a journey through some of the key Old Testament scriptures that shape our beliefs about the specific events leading to the birth of Jesus. As you compare these scriptures to the New Testament fulfillment's, may you join those first disciples in saying, “Weren’t our hearts on fire when he explained the scriptures for us?" (2 Samuel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Matthew, Luke) A Deep Dive into the Story of God Fathom is a Bible study for teens that covers the Old and New Testaments in 18 4-session studies. The lessons are a blend of narrative and traditional theological approaches to understanding the Bible story. Each lesson will focus on one passage that will launch into the larger context of God's story being studied,and how that story is meant to be theirs. Fathom is suitable for groups with middle schoolers, high schoolers, and any combination of the two. But unlike many other resources, it acknowledges the differences between older and younger youth and the way they learn. It provides activities specific to each age group, as well as activities for mixed groups in which older youth have leadership opportunities. Fathom gives leaders the option to let youth take ownership of their learning through teaching and leading alongside adults. Fathom creates space and tension for teens to wrestle with how to interpret and experience the Bible. Through youthministrypartners.com, leaders will have access to planning and teaching tools, customizable content, and other supplemental content to support their use of Fathom as well as their youth ministries in general.
