Old Testament Books

The God of Genesis who established every star in its place and caused the earth to spin knows your name. This series highlights three themes from the first days of creation: light, mankind, and rest. Just as mankind was created in the secret place of a garden, alone with the Creator, we hope this devotional series provides a still space for you to experience and know God’s love for you.

Without Words III: Genesis

Genesis and Exodus are the first two books of the Bible and are the first two of five books which constitute the Torah. Genesis begins with the creation narrative and teaches that God is the one who made everything that exists. This book also teaches about God’s calling of Abraham and how all the nations of the earth would be blessed through his offspring.

Genesis and Exodus

The book of Genesis unveils the mystery of creation and serves as the foundation upon which all revelation rests. It is God’s expression of his covenant blessing for his people, and it displays his awesome glory. This 10-day plan, featuring content from "Firstfruits: 365 Days of Blessing from the Book of Genesis," focuses on Genesis chapter 1. Experience awe and wonder as your heart embraces God’s abundant blessing.

Firstfruits: Blessings From the Book of Genesis 

In Luke 24, Jesus taught his disciples that every story in the Bible points directly to him! We simply need to look for the gospel pattern of "suffering followed by glory." That is, we need to look for something that points to his suffering on the cross, followed by something that points to the glory of Jesus' resurrection! In this plan, learn to find Jesus in every Bible story!

Watermark Gospel | Introduction

The first book of the Bible is a book of origins. Genesis 11 tells of an especially dark time when all mankind was united in both language and enmity towards God. Leading this rebellion was none other than the great grandson of Noah – Nimrod. In direct defiance of God Nimrod and his followers discovered God always has the last word and always ultimately accomplishes his purposes.

In this 5-day plan, civil rights legend Dr. John M. Perkins explores the concept of race in the Scripture.

Day-by-Day Chronological Reading Plan, a 7-Day Introduction

Joseph’s story begins like so many of ours: in a place off the beaten path, surrounded by people who did not believe the magnitude of his calling. However, all of that changed. Joseph was thrust into a grand narrative where God raised him up, not only so that he could fulfill his calling, but also so that he could bless all of those who doubted him along the way.

Dreaming With Joseph: 7 Day Devotional On Greatness

In Genesis, we find the very foundation of our faith, not just the origin of man, but also the origin of God's plan for redemption. Creation is just the beginning.

The Christian life requires an immense amount of faith. Often when frustrations and challenges arise, we are left wondering where God is. Thousands of years ago, a man found himself in the same struggle. God had chosen Abraham for great things. But the man who would go on to become the  Father of Nations  had to first learn how to take the smallest steps of faith.

Genesis

Moses was the "savior" that God had appointed to rescue his people from slavery in Egypt. But Moses was born under a decree of death!

However, God delivered the infant Moses through the waters of death and raised him up to the royal house of Pharaoh in a glorious picture of resurrection! Discover how the birth of Moses anticipated the coming of the True Savior, Jesus, who also escaped a king's decree of death as an infant! 

Watermark Gospel | the Birth of Moses

No matter how good we look to others, the nagging voice of self-doubt is hard to shake. We wonder: If people really knew me would they still accept me? Will I be rejected when I can't perform? What if I end up alone?

The book of Exodus chronicles the Israelites' rescue from Egypt, deliverance from slavery, and establishment of the tabernacle in the wilderness.

Jesus In All Of Exodus

When life doesn’t go as we planned, we have a tendency to doubt that God is with us. Thousands of years ago, the Israelites had the same fears as they  wandered for a generation in the desert, longing for the land of milk and honey that God promised. In this week’s devotional, Meredith McDaniel reminds us through the Israelites’ journey how God provides in the times we need him most.

In Want + Plenty by Meredith McDaniel

And....End Scene! The end of our study in Exodus. The final chapters of Exodus are the final scenes of an epic story of freedom, promise, covenant, details 
and ultimately God’s unconditional love for His people. As we finish our study on Exodus (see previous editions of the Real Hope devotional) our hope is 
that you will not only reflect on all you have learnt as we have journeyed through this amazing book of the Bible, but that you will also see God’s heart for His people, and His heart for you.
