The Plan
One journey through the whole Bible.
Modern Witness isn't a pile of sermons to pick from. It's a single, three-year path, 156 messages across 40 series, that carries you and your church through the sweep of Scripture, timed so the moments that matter land when they should.
3 years · 40 series · 156 Sundays · every week planned
You don't start over. You jump in.
There's one shared cycle, and everyone following Modern Witness is on it together. Whatever Sunday it is, there's a message waiting: open it, make it yours, preach it. Next week, the next one's ready. After three years the cycle begins again, and you catch whatever you joined too late to preach. No setup, no “which year am I on,” no starting from January in the middle of July.
Follow the cycle
Preach this week's message, then the next. The calendar carries you through the whole Bible, in season, without you having to plan the year.

Want to preach a specific series, or run a book study on your own timing? Every series is there to open in any order.
Timed to the seasons
The calendar is built around the Christian year and the days your people already feel. The big moments arrive when they should.
First Steps
Each year opens on the bedrock: a short foundations series to set your church on solid ground for the year ahead.
Valentines
Love, marriage, and the heart: a timely word for the season when your people are already thinking about it.
Eight Days to Forever
The eight days from the triumphal entry to the empty tomb: walking your church to the cross and out of the grave, right in the Easter season.
Deborah, Mother of Israel
A judge, a prophet, and “a mother in Israel”: honoring the women who shape a people, landing on Mother's Day itself.
The Advocate
The coming of the Spirit and the birth of the church: the Helper Jesus promised, taught in the Pentecost season.
Emmanuel · Prophesies
The promises and the arrival: the prophets' long wait and the God who came near, carrying your church through Advent to Christmas.
Because Easter moves year to year, these land in their season rather than on a fixed date, but the shape of the year always follows the story.
The three-year arc
Three passes through Scripture, each going further than the last.
Year One
The whole story, once through.
A sweep across the Bible: the Gospels, the Psalms and Proverbs, the judges and prophets, Paul's prison letters, the rise and ruin of the kings. A first pass that gives your church the shape of the whole.
Year Two
Deeper in.
Richer studies on the ground Year One covered: the parables, the work of the Spirit, vision and freedom, Daniel in exile, the Gospel of John. The same story, further down.
Year Three
Book by book.
Sustained exposition through whole books: Genesis, Romans, Hebrews, Acts, the Prophets, the letters to Timothy. The most systematic year, verse by verse.
Every message, the same five moves
The plan gives you where to go. COBRA gives you how to get there, a path from first word to final vision, in your voice.
