Fathom Bible Studies: The Teachings of Jesus (Matthew – John), Student Journal

In this 4-lesson study, Fathom: The Teachings of Jesus, you and your teens will gain a ground level perspective of the message of the gospel from the writers and their sources. With each lesson, your group will become transformed by the teachings of Christ who became flesh and lived among us with grace and truth. This study will explore the Gospels (Matthew-John).

Each lesson will focus on one passage that will launch into the larger context of God's story 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.
