First of the Short Term DBS Series

Invitation to the New Testament was the first of the Short Term Disciple Bible Studies. Participants have daily scripture reading assignments focusing on the Gospel of Matthew but including related New Testament passages. The 8 weekly group sessions of approximately 90 minutes encourage a lively discussion of the scriptures and text the participants have just read. Our Church has offered this study and three of the other Short Term Disciple Bible Studies and feel they are high quality and one of the most effective ways of introducing people to daily Bible study. We are very satisfied with all of the Cokesbury Disciple Bible Study Series!
