Learn together

A place to read, reflect, and respond.

Designed for adults and older teenagers, each lesson begins with Scripture and draws on the Cornerstone Journal as companion reading. Use it in a Sunday school class, a small group, or your own study.

For students

Read the Scripture directly within each lesson, work through the teaching, and bring your questions. No separate Bible is required. The downloads include all the readings for offline study.

For teachers

Follow a 50-minute class plan with opening prayer, guided teaching, discussion, application, and a closing prayer. Suggested responses appear in expandable teacher notes.

For the week ahead

Take one act of care into your community. Return ready to reflect on what you learned through serving others.
