The Ultimate Road Trip Through the Bible: The Gospels and the Early Church

The Bible is the best-selling book of all time, but it can also be intimidating to read because it contains more than 600,000 words divided into 66 distinct books written by 40 authors in three languages over 1600 years. But how does it all fit together? In Route 66, Dr. Ron Jones takes us on the ultimate road trip through the Bible, pointing us to Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. Road Trip 6 focuses on the Gospels and the Early Church, from Matthew through Acts.

For individual or small group study. Books include small group discussion questions for each chapter.

Matthew: Who is Your King?

Matthew: Who is Your King?

Matthew presents Jesus as the promised King of the Jews, tracing His royal lineage, fulfilled prophecies, authoritative teaching, miracles, rejection, crucifixion, and resurrection. From birth to triumph, Jesus reveals God’s kingdom and demands allegiance. The gospel repeatedly presses one central question upon every reader: Who is your king?

Mark: He Came to Serve

Mark: He Came to Serve

Mark presents Jesus as the Servant Messiah whose credibility is proven through action—healing, teaching, suffering, and sacrificing His life. Moving quickly toward the cross and resurrection, the gospel reveals the Son of Man who came not to be served, but to serve and redeem many.

Luke: Behold the Man

Luke: Behold the Man

Luke presents Jesus as the perfect God-man—fully human, fully divine—who identifies with our weakness, compassionately serves the lost, teaches through parables, suffers deeply, conquers death, and offers salvation to all. “Behold the Man” calls readers to see God revealed in human flesh.

John: Reasons to Believe

John: Reasons to Believe

John’s Gospel presents compelling reasons to believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God—through the Word made flesh, powerful “I am” statements, miraculous signs, loving sacrifice, and resurrection—so that by believing, we may truly see, know God, and receive eternal life in His name.

Acts: You Shall Be My Witnesses

Acts: You Shall Be My Witnesses

This session traces Acts as the Spirit-empowered continuation of Jesus’ work, showing how ordinary believers—especially Peter and Paul—boldly witnessed to Christ despite opposition. Anchored in Acts 1:8, it calls every believer to rely on the Spirit and faithfully proclaim Jesus to the world.

Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.
