Old Testament Books

Most Christians are familiar with Genesis, but sometimes the details get a little hazy. And strange. God walked around in a garden? Eve was made from Adam's rib? A talking serpent? The Characters of Creation seeks to explain the Bible's story of how we got here and how things got messed up, and gives fresh insights into the first people in God's unfolding plan of redemption.

The Keys to Unlocking Your God-Given Dream

The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of

We can learn a lot about why we sin by looking at the first sin ever committed. Drawing from David Bowden's upcoming book, Rewire Your Heart, this study will dive deep into what happened with Eve at the tree and how it reveals to us the root of all sin.

Genesis 1-2: Verse by Verse With Bible Study Fellowship

It’s easy to give up on one’s dreams. It’s one thing to start with a great dream or with an inspiring vision. But then life happens, and life has a way of attacking, hindering and sometimes even destroying our dreams. In the face of adversity, it is crucial to hold on to what God has promised –and to be inspired by biblical role models like Joseph, who never gave up.

Don't Give Up On Your Dreams

Why would rest be listed in the second chapter of the Bible? Why would God give it as a commandment to Moses on Mount Sinai? Why is honoring the Sabbath listed in the Ten Commandments? In this reading plan, writer Paul Marc Goulet shares about this topic and how you can rest and find peace.

Looking for Peace?

The beginning of the world, the beginning of the line of Abraham, and the beginning of God's covenantal relationship with his people are all recorded in 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!

One of the greatest ways we build our faith is by engaging the Scriptures and listening to the Word of God. The greatest days are ahead because the greatest adventures of your life have yet to be lived. Readings in Genesis and Nehemiah.

Pioneer: Taking New Ground Together, Part 6

In this 5-day plan, civil rights legend Dr. John M. Perkins explores the concept of race in the Scripture.  From the stories of the Bible and his own life, he paints a beautiful portrait of the one human race that displays diversity while revealing ways that God's people have gone astray in making ethnic distinctions a statement on the individual's worth before God. 

One Race, One Blood

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! Pharaoh commanded that all the male children of Israel must be thrown into the Nile River. 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?
If you find yourself having thoughts like these, join Erica Wiggenhorn for 5 days in the story of Moses and find what happens when we surrender.

Letting God Be Enough: Why Striving Keeps You Stuck & How Surrender Sets You Free

The story of the Israel's rescue from Egyptian slavery becomes one of the defining stories for the people of God. In this fourteen-day plan, you'll see how God rescues his people from oppression, then seeks to restore his presence among them through a covenant relationship and the temple. 

BibleProject | The Great Escape

The book of Exodus chronicles the Israelites' rescue from Egypt, deliverance from slavery, and establishment of the tabernacle in the wilderness. In Exodus, we see the premier covenantal promise of God is the reality of his presence among His people, leading, guiding, and directing them towards holiness in Him.

Deliverance: A Study In Exodus

Exodus is one of history's greatest epics, and Moses one of its greatest heroes. Movies have been made, books written, and the entire Bible refers back to the events in this book. Join Through the Word as we guide you chapter by chapter through the unfolding drama of God's great rescue mission, with clear explanation and compelling audio in just minutes each day. Part 1 covers chapters 1-13.

Exodus

Exodus is all about Jesus! This 22-day plan will walk you through the book of Exodus, by reading only 1-3 chapters a day. Most days are accompanied by a short devotional that explains what’s happening and shows you how each part of the story points to Jesus and His Gospel.

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.

Real Hope: A Study in Exodus

Exodus shows us the Lord is deserving of our trust and obedience as we watch Him deliver Israel from Egypt, provide for them, forgive them, and develop a relationship with them. Read with us as we journey through the book of Exodus deepening our trust in the Lord through all circumstances, so that we may live strong and faithfully in our faith.

Join us for 21 days of fasting, prayer, and consecration as we walk through the book of Exodus. In this book, we encounter a holy God who delivers, encounters, and dwells among His people. As we set aside these three weeks, we’re believing for personal encounters and visitations with God. We choose our daily encounter—He chooses our supernatural visitation. The same God who revealed Himself to Moses and Israel is the same God who desires to meet with you these 21 days and beyond. Join us for your daily encounter as we fast and pray together!

In this 7-day plan, we will explore how this ancient structure is a detailed map for your relationship with God today: from the foundation of your faith to total intimacy.

The Tabernacle: Blueprint of Redemption

Moses is one of history's most celebrated — and most misread — figures. We remember the miracles. We forget the man who argued with God five times, raged at a rock, and begged to die under the weight of leadership.
This plan is about that Moses — the real one. Over fifteen days, we walk from the Nile to Mount Nebo through fear, failure, grief, and the relentless pursuit of a God who refused to give up on him.
In the arc of his broken and beautiful life, we find the shape of our own. The I AM does not change tense.
