The Concealed & Revealed Series
A multi-volume Bible study series from Pastor Joseph Holmes, built for cowboy churches, ranch fellowships, and small groups who want to go deeper into the Word.
What the Concealed & Revealed Series Is
The Concealed and Revealed series grew out of real Bible study — the kind that happens around a folding table, in a barn fellowship, or at a campfire after a rodeo. Pastor Holmes designed each volume to be used together, in sequence, by a group willing to dig into scripture rather than skim it.
The name comes from the pattern the series traces through the Old and New Testaments: truths that were hidden in plain sight in the Hebrew scriptures, then opened up and made plain through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Understanding that pattern changes how you read the whole Bible — not just the red-letter parts.
Each volume includes teaching content and group discussion questions. The guides are written to be accessible to any elder or small group leader who can open the Word and read it aloud. No seminary required. No projector needed.
Who It's For
- Cowboy churches that want a multi-week teaching series with real doctrinal depth
- Ranch and farm fellowships that meet informally and need material any leader can run
- Small groups looking for something more substantive than a devotional pamphlet
- Rodeo chaplains building a resource library for circuit ministry
- Individuals who want to work through a structured Bible study on their own time
What Each Volume Includes
Teaching content
Each volume walks through a specific arc of scripture with pastoral commentary — enough to ground a group discussion, written plainly enough to read aloud without stumbling.
Group discussion questions
Questions built for real conversation, not fill-in-the-blank exercises. Designed for the kind of group that will argue about a passage until someone looks it up.
Scripture references
Drawn from both Testaments, showing how the themes of concealment and revelation run through the whole counsel of God — not just the familiar passages.
Suitable for any setting
Works in a structured church class or around a campfire. No AV equipment, no tech — just the guide, an open Bible, and people willing to study.
Common Questions About the Series
Do I need a seminary background to lead one of these studies?
No. The guides are written for group leaders who are working ranchers, farmers, and hands — not trained clergy. Pastor Holmes wrote them to be used by anyone who can open the Word and lead a conversation. The teaching content is in the guide; you just facilitate it.
How many people does a single study guide work for?
A single copy is for one person. For group study, each participant ideally has their own copy so everyone can follow along with the scripture references and discussion questions. That is what the Church and Group Packs are for — contact the ministry to discuss a pack for your group size.
Where can I buy individual copies?
Individual copies of the Concealed and Revealed series are available on Amazon. Search for the title or Pastor Joseph Holmes to find current listings. For group quantities, use the Church Packs page or the contact form to reach the ministry directly.
How long does a single volume take to complete in a group setting?
That depends on how your group meets and how deep the discussions run. Most groups working through a volume weekly will take several sessions per book. The pacing is meant to match a group that actually discusses the material — not one rushing to finish a checklist.
Can Pastor Holmes speak at our church or event?
Yes. Use the contact form to reach out with the details of your event. Pastor Holmes is available for speaking engagements, cowboy church gatherings, conferences, and podcast appearances.
