Fall 2026 Theme: Faith and Faithfulness
Scripture tells us that the righteous will live by faith. We often struggle to know exactly what that means though. Even with a strong faith, we also often find ourselves struggling to remain faithful. What is the difference between faith and faithfulness? How can these two traits shape our Christian walk? Join us this fall as we study the Book of Hebrews for answers to these questions before turning our focus on Old Testament prophets who likewise wrestled with faith and faithfulness.

Adult Bible Studies serves as a reliable companion and guide for learning and growing in the Christian faith. With the help of the Adult Bible Studies Teacher/Commentary Kit and DVD, your group will discover that it's not just about learning but about living out biblical teachings in everyday life.

Grow in faith by connecting scripture to life weekly.

Equip yourself to lead with confidence this fall. The Adult Bible Studies Leader Kit gives Sunday school teachers, small group leaders, and facilitators everything they need to guide meaningful weekly discussions on faith and faithfulness, from the Book of Hebrews through the Old Testament prophets.

The kit includes two essential resources: the Teacher Book and the Concise Commentary.
The Teacher Book provides rich biblical background, exposition, and practical suggestions for leading each week's group discussion and nurturing spiritual practices among class members. Whether you are a seasoned teacher or leading a group for the first time, the easy-to-use format and depth of preparation material make each week's lesson approachable and rewarding.

The Concise Commentary, based on the trusted Abingdon Basic Bible Commentary, delivers expert biblical commentary on every focal passage used in the Adult Bible Studies curriculum. Each entry includes the Sunday's focal Scripture, unit introductions, and in-depth commentary on the passage. A pronunciation guide for Bible names and places is also included, so leaders can teach and discuss with clarity and confidence.

Together, these two resources supplement and complement the Adult Bible Studies Participant Guide, giving leaders the full context and tools needed to move a group from simply reading Scripture to genuinely engaging with it.

Grow in faith by connecting scripture to life weekly.

What does it truly mean to live by faith? And how do we remain faithful when life makes that difficult? This quarter's Adult Bible Studies Participant Guide explores the relationship between faith and faithfulness, two foundational traits of the Christian life, and how together they shape the way we walk with God.

Beginning with the Book of Hebrews, participants will examine what Scripture reveals about living a faith-rooted life. The study then moves into the Old Testament prophets, whose own wrestling with faith and faithfulness speaks directly to the struggles believers face today.

Each weekly lesson includes focal Scripture passages printed in full, key verses, background context, and practical application to help participants grow not just in knowledge but in lived Christian discipleship. Suggestions for spiritual practices such as prayer, worship, and community are woven throughout.

Designed for use in Sunday school classes and small groups, this participant guide is part of the trusted Adult Bible Studies curriculum from Abingdon Press, endorsed by the Curriculum Resources Committee of The United Methodist Church and suitable for adults of all ages and all denominations.
