This optional Bible lesson scope and sequence breaks up the Old and New Testament so that there are stories from each over the course of the year. The Bible stories are in sequential order and progress over the four years. The first year we spend more time in the Old Testament, but in the subsequent years the division is pretty equal. December lessons focus on Christ’s birth and then, in January, we continue to learn about His life and the first church. After that the lessons come from the Old Testament. The numbers beside the lessons are not dates, they are the lesson number for the quarter. Each quarter has 13 lessons.
