A 16-part series with more than 180 pages of content exploring the relationship found within the text of the Divine Liturgy connecting our worship with the words of Scripture. 

The lessons serve as a companion resource for the fourth edition of The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom with Commentary and Biblical References, also published by Orthodox Journeys. The lessons are designed for high school, college, and adult education classes.

With nearly 500 unique Scripture verses and references, the liturgical worship of the Orthodox faith is fully biblical, evangelical, and sacramental. This series of lessons takes a closer look at the connection between the words of Scripture and words of the Divine Liturgy.
