his exciting new curriculum from The Gospel Coalition is designed to take the whole church family on a journey to discover how the gospel should shape every part of their life and witness.

Five immersive tracks look at the impact of the gospel on worship, outreach, daily living, work and caring for those in need. Each presenter has been hand-picked by The Gospel Coalition for their faithfulness to the gospel as well as their clear and engaging teaching style.

Each track is made up of video teaching sessions, group discussions, Bible studies and personal devotional readings. The flexible sessions can be run in adult Sunday-school-style meetings, or in a smaller homegroup setting.

To run each module you need a Leader’s Kit (containing a Leader’s Guide, DVD and sample Handbook) as well as extra Handbooks for use by course participants. Extra Leader’s Guides are available as required.
