The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearSample
Week 1. Day 3. Genesis 10-14.
Gen 12:1-3 is a key turning point in the Bible. After a tragic story of human sin, culminating in the tower of Babel (Gen 11) God intervenes and makes promises to Abraham. These promises (referred to as the ‘gospel’ in Galatians) show how God will achieve his creation purposes and deal with the problems that sin brought into the world.
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
“I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.” (Gen 12:1-3 NIV)
How do the promises to Abraham relate to
- God’s original creation plans?
- the curses given in Genesis 3?
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.
About this Plan
The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
