Editor's note: Our hearts were full of awe and rejoicing at the recent Artemis moon mission! This mission reignited public excitement not felt since the Apollo era. It spurred massive engagement, including a 61% increase in YouTube Live views compared to Artemis I, as audiences followed the first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years. Since we're over the moon, let's dive into Levi Lusko's Bible Study. For kids, you can enjoy .

In 1961, President Kennedy delivered what would become known as the “moonshot speech.” He said that America was going to take back the air and reclaim the high ground that is outer space.
But God’s plan was even more complex, more crazy, and more audacious than John F. Kennedy’s moonshot scheme. He chose to leapfrog past all the problems of sinful humanity by sending his Son, Jesus, to the earth to die on the cross, rise from the dead, and save us from our sins.
We’ve heard before that the cross is necessary for us to be forgiven from our sins. But we need to understand that the cross is also there to help us with our secrets.
The cross is not just a rescue mission to save us from our sins but also to help us see our secrets in a brand-new light—those parts of us that are just more interesting because they are damaged.
God gave us the gospel and sent his Son into the world to die for us. He now wants us to go out with that same message and work as one to restore the hope of a lost and fallen humanity.

There is a weight to sin. God allowed Jesus, his Son, to deal with that heavy weight of sin so that we would have the fear of death and have the pain taken off of us.
The Hebrew word for forgiveness—the Hebrew word that describes the weight of sin being taken away—is nasa. Our God is a God who forgives and takes away the weight of our sin.
Just as John F. Kennedy’s plan changed the course of world history, so God’s plan has changed the course of all eternity, giving us a possibility for life where previously there was only death.

Have you ever noticed that all throughout your life, the moon has been staring at you? Its presence in the sky is constant yet impossible to fully grasp. The wonder of it caused David to write, “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them?” (Psalm 8:3–4).
Centuries later, the pull of the moon led John F. Kennedy to make a declaration that the United States would send men to walk on its surface—a goal realized with the historic Apollo 11 mission. What’s lesser known is that moments before leaving the lander, Buzz Aldrin partook of a special meal—the Last Supper on the moon. The lunar Last Supper was full of meaning, just as it had been when Jesus first took of the elements with his disciples.
In this five-session Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Levi Lusko journeys back in time and forward in hope, using the 1969 lunar mission as an analogy of God’s mission of salvation. Along the way, he explores the wonder of God’s love in sending Jesus from “outer space” to die for your sins—and how that incredible love has the power to transform your “inner space.”
This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:
- The study guide itself—with video notes, personal study and group discussion sections, and a guide to best practices for leading a group.
- An individual access code to stream all five video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!).
