The 10 Commandments, Sabbath days and feast, lambs and oxen, the cleansing of mildew . . . what does this all have to do with the Christian today? Are we merely New Testament people who consult the Old only for Bible trivia purposes?

The following is a reading plan that I developed for some newer disciples / followers of Jesus to help them get a good picture of what is going on in Scripture from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. Our English Bibles do not follow a clear chronological order (particularly in the Old Testament), so many people who read the Bible straight through aren't able to, say, summarize the Biblical narrative as a whole.

The purpose of this website is to provide Bible study material and commentary to encourage and challenge Christians in their journey with Jesus.

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. ~2 Peter 1:20-21

"But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither…" ~ Psalm 1:2-3a"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season…" ~ 2 Timothy 4:2a

There are times when God wants to do a new thing in our lives.
