Genesis

Andrew Ollerton, pastor, theologian and author of, "The Bible: A Story That Makes Sense of Life," guides readers through key events in Genesis, revealing how they connect to our deep human need for meaning. Reflection questions follow each day's devotional message.  

The Bible: A Story That Makes Sense of Life 

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.

Daily Bible Reading is designed to facilitate consistent interaction with Scripture. It includes background information on each day’s Scripture passage, key verses for meditation, reflection questions to help you dive deeper into Scripture, and prayers to help you connect to God and be of spiritual support to others. Journey with us this month as we explore the theme “God’s Renewing Word of Mercy and Forgiveness.”

Daily Bible Reading, August 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Mercy and Forgiveness

The public reading of Scripture is a timeless practice. It helps us remember who God is, who we are, and who we are called to be. We encourage you to gather in community, for 20-30 minute sessions, and listen to the Bible regularly as the early church did. In 13 sessions, you will listen to all of Genesis and be shown the Gospel in each section through short audio devotionals. 

Public Reading of Genesis

We want to take new ground in every area of our lives. As we pioneer, we are going to need a big faith and a courageous spirit. 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. It’s time to pioneer.

Pioneer: Taking New Ground Together, Part 5

How do we respond when God promises to do something in our lives that naturally seems impossible? Do we respond by making “back-up” plans in case God doesn’t come through? Do we believe for a certain time and then give up hope because it didn’t happen within our timeframe?  In this plan we look at the life and faith of Abraham.

Many struggle to read through the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. But these are some of the most important books in the Bible and they are all about Jesus! This 4-month plan will walk you through the Torah, reading only 1-3 chapters a day. Most days are accompanied by a short devotional, explaining what’s happening and how each part of the story points to Jesus.

Jesus In All Of The Torah

This is part one of a four-part plan to read the books of the Bible that tell of the historical events. Although the Bible contains many stories, it is one story from beginning to end of God’s interactions with humanity. One day per week can be used to catch up on missed readings or for reflection. Notes are also included to assist with understanding.


From Beginning to End

As its name implies, Genesis is a book of beginnings. 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. Although filled with the sin, rebellion, and the chronic unfaithfulness of His people, God consistently demonstrates his covenantal faithfulness to bring about salvation and redemption for all who have faith in Him.
