A Walk through Scripture  God
call us to know Him and we do this by knowing His Word! Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8 Welcome to a
new Bible Study, "An Overview of the Bible." This will be a walk through the
basics of Scripture. A two year study through the Bible, year 1, the Old
Testament, year 2 New Testament, a basic overview of each book and its main
themes. Why?
The average Christian does not know the Word of God. They are new to the faith
and or get their information from sloppy pastors, false teachers, presumptions,
TV, and feelings but not directly from God's True truth, a problem with
Christianity in America in general. Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. Romans 10:17 Purpose: It is the endeavor of this study to do a cursory walk through the main streams of God's Word the Bible. Gain a deeper understanding of the themes, main thoughts, calls, commands and applications to know Christ and live for His glory. It will follow an inductive format with notes and outlines too. The Bible seems too foreboding and overwhelming for many. People get flustered, discouraged and thus rarely venture into the great story ever told with the greatest meaning we could ever possibly gain. Thus, the Word sits empty of use and void of interaction for us the people it is meant to impact and equip. Thus, after over thirty years of delving into it, teaching it to countless people all over the world, I have honed a simple studies series that we can go through the Bible from Genesis through Revelation and see what are the main themes, promises, precepts and applications we can make. We will follow and inductive study format as I present this to you. That is I come to the Text and to you without any theological agenda or proof to claim. Just open up the Bible and let's examine what is being said. I will do my best to shed some light on what did that mean to the original hearers and readers of the Bible. Sometimes over two thousand years removed by language and culture we may not understand something or assume that the Bible is not saying at all and thus miss God's amazing and wondrous treasures.
We have the incredible privilege to here and know God personally
through His Word!
The Bible is our principle platform for our encounters with the Almighty
Who has something precious to say to us, and we must hear it excitedly! We are
to get into God's Word because it is the framework of the Living God. His
principles, calls, and plans for us to know, grow, prosper in our lives and
churches are in its pages. We must do our best to immerse ourselves to meet Him,
to know Him, to internalize His precepts and live them out for His glory and our
mutual benefit. Therefore, we must listen, learn, and do ... The
call to be Transformed
Nehemiah 8; John 3:30; Romans 12:1-3; 2 Timothy 2:15; James 1:22-25
We meet with God for the expressed reason to be transformed by the
renewing of our minds. This is an act of worship for us to think right
without distractions or personal agendas; look upon God as our Loving
Lord Master as well as Motivator. Then we will be able to grow through
the ordeals of life, the ups and downs focusing on how can I be approve
to focus on what God's will is, to know Him, place Him first and
foremost as His prime pleasing and perfect will. As to be ... Biblical curriculums to help us in knowing and applying the Word of God, the Bible into our lives!
