Going Deeper in God’s Word
Reading God’s Word is a Journey
What: all staff do a volunteer day together
The Bible is the story of humanity and the God who made us.
This story is told primarily through the lens of Abraham and his descendants, who become the nation of Israel.
Jesus himself is descended from Abraham—and, ultimately, Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises to Abraham.
As an extension of God’s calling to Israel, the church—made up of all those who follow Jesus—is commissioned to tell the rest of the world about the power of the living God.
The Bible begins with people and sadly they walk away and God has been pursuing mankind ever since.

Go out from your land and from your relatives, and from the house of your father, to the land that I will show you.
And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great.
And you will be a blessing.
And I will bless those who bless you, and those who curse you I will curse.
And all families of the earth will be blessed in you ().

Israel in the North and Judah in the South.
Surely I have seen the misery of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry of distress because of their oppressors, for I know their sufferings.
And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up from this land to a good and wide land, to a land flowing with milk and honey ().
After Moses death Joshua takes over and leads them into the promise land.
Even though God should be their rightful king, the Israelites demand an earthly king, thats when Saul comes on the scene.

This results in a huge mess, as God’s people repeatedly walk away from him.
Israel falls to Assyria, and those left alive are exiled.
About 135 years later, Judah falls to Babylon and the Jerusalem temple is destroyed; again, those remaining are exiled.
(This is recorded in 1 and 2 Kings; the entire narrative is retold in 1 and 2 Chronicles.)
After Persia becomes the dominant empire, God’s people return from exile to rebuild the Jerusalem temple and the city itself.
(This is recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.)
During these tumultuous periods, God raises up prophets to boldly speak his truth and call his people back into relationship with him.
The prophets come on the scene in 15 OT books we call the Major Prophets (Isaiah Jeremiah and Ezekiel
Minor Prophets Hosea through Malachi
The book of Daniel also includes prophecy but falls into category called apocalyptic literature.
Israel’s worship is recorded in the Psalms, and other aspects of its culture are reflected in the Bible’s collection of Wisdom literature (including the books of Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs).

The Word [being Jesus] became flesh and took up residence among us, and we saw his glory, glory as of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and truth ().
But many of God’s people—particularly the religious leaders—believe that Jesus is distorting Israel’s long-standing relationship with God, so they have him crucified.
Believers in Jesus come to be known as the Church and filled with the holy spirit

All of biblical literature is really about humanity’s journey with God—and this powerful story continues today in the lives of God’s people throughout the world
The Bible - The Why and How
We are in the Bibles story whether we realize it or not
We are living between the time of Jesus /ascension and the time he will return.
The Bible show us how God acted in the past, so we can know how to act according to HIS purposes in the present.
Interpreting the Bible is like appreciating Art
It’s like approaching a Monet.
At first its blurry but you stand farther badk, and you see the blurr shape into soething beautiful.
The secret of dynamic Bible study is knowing how to ask the right kinds of questions.
One benefit of studying the Bible is that you will begin developing a more inquisitive mind.
You will discover exciting insights you’ve overlooked in the past.
Dynamic Bible study involves writing down what you have observed and discovered.
The difference between bible reading and bible study is writing things down.
