The Gospel Project for Adults: Personal Study Guide - CSB - Spring 2025

Spring 2025 Study: Land and Loss
(Covering Joshua–1 Samuel)
by Leslie Hudson, David McLemore, David Roach, and Christina Zimmerman

God had promised His rescued people a land flowing with milk and honey. True to His word, He led the Israelites to conquer that promised land. But after settling in, the people settled into sin, so God disciplined them. When they cried out to God, the Lord raised a judge to deliver them. Then they had rest. But this cycle of sin and deliverance continued. Humanity’s tendency toward sin has never gone away on our own efforts, even with the help of judges, priests, and prophets. What humanity has always needed was a Savior, an ultimate Judge and Deliverer who will wipe out sin and cleanse our sinful hearts forever. Jesus Christ came to fulfill that need and to restore our hearts, giving us true rest in Him. (13 sessions)

The Gospel Project Personal Study Guide - CSB is designed to help participants walk through each session individually before the meeting and then as a group. Features include:

• CSB® Scripture passages included in the resource
• ESV and KJV Scripture passages – available via a QR code in the Personal Study Guide
• Active-learning model: The group time will feature a whole-group activity that will draw on and apply what group participants learned the week prior.
• Head, Heart, Hands: Application from each session will follow the pattern of Head (our understanding), Heart (our affections), and Hands (our actions).

Companion Resources:

• Leader Guide
• Commentary
• Leader Pack

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the common thread in every biblical story is Jesus. That’s why The Gospel Project for Adults is a chronological, Christ-centered Bible study that continuously traces the need for redemption in those stories and in our stories, too.
