Get started on an eight-week journey through Scripture and the land

Book cover titled 'The Storyline of Israel' with a subtitle 'An Eight-Week Journey Into God's Land,' featuring images of Israeli landmarks.

The Storyline of Israel is a small-group study that reconnects Scripture to the people and places where God’s story unfolds.

Through teaching videos filmed in Israel, guided Bible study, and living voices from the land, participants gain clarity, continuity, and a deeper understanding of the story they already love.

How does the small group study work?

Did you know most Christians will never visit Israel in their lifetime? The statistic of those who do runs somewhere between 2-3%. Being there, walking the land, hearing the story in the place where it all started, has the potential to shift and inspire everything in your Christian walk.

So what makes this study different? See for yourself!

Where theology meets place

God’s promises were spoken in real places, to real people, and they still matter today.

Across eight sessions, this study traces Israel’s storyline from the Old Testament to the New Testament and into the present day, helping Scripture move from abstract to anchored.

God’s promises were spoken in real places, to real people, and they still matter today.

Each lesson includes:

  • A teaching video filmed on location in Israel

  • Old and New Testament study

  • Maps and discussion questions

  • A video interview with someone living in Israel today

LESSON 6

The Road: We Keep Walking in Hope

The City of David

Filmed in Jerusalem on the recently opened Pilgrimage Road connecting the Pool of Siloam to the Temple complex, this session explores how ancient roads tell the story of exile, return, and perseverance.

Paired with Scripture and an interview with Annaelle Choukroun, a City of David guide and biblical archaeology specialist, the lesson shows how landscape, Scripture, and faith intersect - then and now.

Participants are invited to consider what it means to keep walking when the road is uncertain.
