Daily Bible Study Winter 2026-2027
About this ebook
What does it truly mean to begin again? This winter's Daily Bible Study invites you into a guided, day-by-day exploration of renewal, repentance, and transformation as essential movements of the Christian life. The theme "A New Beginning" examines the surprising truth that some of God's greatest gifts arrive disguised as difficulty, and that change, surrender, and even dying to ourselves can lead to something wonderful.
This Quarter's Theme: A New Beginning
Beginning with the life and person of Jesus Christ, born in a stable and executed as a criminal, yet the best news the world has ever received, each daily devotion explores what Scripture reveals about the new life God offers through him. The study draws on biblical accounts of transformation and redemption to speak directly to readers navigating change, uncertainty, and the call to repentance. These passages offer honest, grounding encouragement for anyone seeking hope amid hard beginnings.
What's Inside Each Daily Reading
Every reading is designed to fit on a single page and includes:
- A focal Scripture reference to anchor your reading
- A guided reflection question to engage your faith personally
- Practical commentary to deepen your understanding of the passage
- A closing prayer to guide your time with God
A Devotional Resource Designed for Individuals and Small Groups
Thoughtfully structured around themes spanning four to five weeks and aligned with the liturgical calendar, each theme volume is written by a single author, giving every theme a cohesive, personal voice. While designed for individual quiet time and personal devotion, Daily Bible Study also serves as an excellent companion resource for small groups using the Adult Bible Studies curriculum.
The Curriculum Resources Committee of The United Methodist Church endorses this resource.
