The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearSample

Week 9. Day 3. Deuteronomy 26-28.

26:1-11 When the people enter the land, they are to make offerings to remind themselves that their blessings are from God. Note in particular v5-9 – they are to tell their story of what God has done for them.

Are there ways in which you/your church might remind yourself of the big story of which you are part?

Deu 27-28 Blessings and curses. God told his people to have a ceremony (fulfilled in Joshua 8) where they proclaimed blessings and curses from the law: blessings if they obeyed, curses if they disobeyed. The goal of these was to motivate obedience, and these blessings and curses will be in the background for the rest of the Old Testament.

Note 27:9 They have become God’s people, therefore they should obey. (NOT: they need to obey in order to become God’s people).

NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
