The Gospel Project for Adults: Personal Study Guide - CSB - Winter 2026

Winter 2026 Study: Prophets and Provision
(Covering The Prophets; Ezra–Esther)
by Caroline Chong, David McLemore, and Katie Orr

Throughout the exile of His people, God remained faithful in providing for those who lived in faith, even under persecution. He provided His presence, protection, and prophets to show the world that He is the almighty God. And when the time was right, He allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple, to continue right worship, and to rebuild the city because He is a God of restoration. The Lord desires to restore His people to a right relationship with Him. We see this ultimately through His sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die and rise again. Through His work, people can be restored permanently and adopted into God’s family. Despite our sin, which exiles, God provided a way home, and the only way is Jesus. (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 for small groups and Sunday School that continuously traces the need for redemption in those stories and in our stories, too.
