Trusted for over 60 years, this verse-by-verse commentary will guide you in an in-depth study of the Bible. Following the International Sunday School Lessons (ISSL)/Uniform Series, Standard Lesson explores new topics every year. Deepen your understanding of Scripture in 2025–2026 with these areas of study:
Judah, From Isaiah to the Exile—Isaiah, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah, 2 Kings, Ezekiel This section invites us to discover and appreciate how God, through prophets and other leaders, gave help and guidance to the people of Judah. As we study these people, we will see God’s hand at work in their lives, just as he is at work in our lives and all human affairs.
Enduring Beliefs of the Christian Faith—Exodus, Psalms, The Gospels, Acts, Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, 2 Timothy, 1 John, Revelation This section encourages us to meditate on the fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith. This study will show us that God has revealed his grace and mercy. As a result, God’s people are called to live by his standard—a standard that is often countercultural.
Social Teachings of the Church—Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Daniel, Jonah, Psalms, The Gospels, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Hebrews, 1 Timothy, 2 Thessalonians, James This section contemplates a kingdom perspective regarding our responsibilities, relationships, and commitments. God instructs his people to relate in particular ways to their friends, neighbors, family, governmental structures, and even the structured rhythm of our days. He cares about how we treat our bodies, what we consume, and how we use our time.
The Testimony of Faithful Witnesses—Judges, 1 Samuel, Amos, The Gospels, Acts, 2 Timothy, Philemon This section looks at the examples of faithful witnesses from Scripture. These were people who heard the call of God, responded in faith, and testified to God’s mercy and fidelity to his promises through their words and deeds.
Available in the King James Version (KJV) and New International Version® (NIV) Bible translations, the SLC is developed by scholars from numerous church fellowships and outlines an in-depth study of the Bible.
