JOB 30:17

The Lent Project is an initiative of Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts. Each daily devotion includes a portion of Scripture, a devotional, a prayer, a work of visual art or a video, a piece of music, and a poem plus brief commentaries on the artworks and artists. The Seven Last Words of Christ refers to the seven short phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, as gathered from the four Christian gospels. This devotional project connects word, image, voice and song into daily meditations on these words.

The book of Job chronicles testing a righteous man's faith through suffering. Although Job's friends attempt to comfort him, it is only by God's revelation of His wisdom and might that Job finds true comfort. Even in deep suffering, God can do all things, and none of His purposes can be thwarted (Job 42:2).

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part One of this twelve-part one-year reading plan covers the first 2,500 years: From Perfect Creation to Slavery.

January - No complicated content—just a chronological journey through the Bible. Scripture isn’t arranged in the order events happened; it’s usually organized by genre. This January plan walks chronologically through all of Genesis and Job, covering creation, the fall, the flood, early civilizations, and God’s covenant with Abraham. Instead of jumping around, you’ll see how each moment builds on the last and how God’s purposes unfold over time. January lays the foundation for the entire year, revealing that the Bible is one unified story of redemption that ultimately leads to Jesus.
