1 Chronicles 12:17

Written following their return from exile, Chronicles is a theological retelling of Israel's monarchial history. In this post-exilic season, doubt and apathy plagued God's people and their trust in His promises. The Chronicler responds by reminding Israel of God's faithfulness from Adam to Moses to David and ultimately points toward a Greater David to come.

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible.

April – No complicated content, just a monthly chronological journey through the Bible. The Bible isn’t arranged in the order events happened; it’s organized by genre. April moves from the chaos at the end of Judges into the hope of Ruth and the rise of Israel’s kings in 1 Samuel and early 2 Samuel. You’ll see God working through faithfulness and failure, raising leaders, shaping a nation, and remaining present even when His people struggle. Along the way, this month highlights God’s patience, His sovereign plan, and His steady movement toward redemption despite human weakness.
