Old Testament Books

When God intervenes with power in your life and overturns it, he wants to call you, make a transformation, reveal his glory.

Divine Incursions (In the Life of Jacob)

Rest to Reset

Jacob is one of the Bible's most complex and captivating characters, and his story one of its greatest epics. Jacob wrestled from day one--with brother, uncle, wives, and his own deceiving heart.

Genesis Explained Part 4 | One Extraordinary Life

The ARISE Discipleship Program Reading Plan through the Pentateuch. 

The Pentateuch - ARISE

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. 

Beginnings: A Study In Genesis

Daily Bible Reading helps you build consistent interaction with Scripture. Background, key verses for meditation, reflection questions to help you dive deeper into Scripture, and prayers prompted by today’s passage all help you connect with God and others. Journey with us this month and explore the theme “God’s Guiding Word: Promise.”

Daily Bible Reading—June 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Promise

This reading plan includes five daily devotions based on Max Lucado’s Bible study God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob’s Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God’s Relentless Love. You are invited to believe in a God who sticks with the unworthy until we are safely at home. God turns brokenness into blessings through His Grace, Mercy, and Relentless Love. Not just for Bible characters, but for you.

God Never Gives Up on You

Joseph’s story begins like so many of ours: in a place off the beaten path, surrounded by people who did not believe the magnitude of his calling. However, all of that changed. Joseph was thrust into a grand narrative where God raised him up, not only so that he could fulfill his calling, but also so that he could bless all of those who doubted him along the way.

Dreaming With Joseph: 7 Day Devotional On Greatness

"In the beginning . . ." These words are familiar even if you haven't read the Bible before. They take you to the start of the story—and the start of the Bible is the beginning of creation and the beginning of God's holy and loving relationship with us. Over 16 days, read through the book of Genesis and learn how the story of God and his people began. Adapted from Words of Hope's Read the Bible in a Year.

In the Beginning: Reading Through Genesis

The God Provides series offers a rich, dramatic journey through theater-quality, short films which show us wisdom, truth, encouragement and practical steps to deepen a relationship of trust with God. This session highlights the true story of Abraham and Isaac, his son. God used this test of obedience to see whether or not Abraham trusted Him fully and would, in faith, obediently make everything he had available for God’s use.


God Provides: "Mine or His"- Abraham and Isaac

The Old Testament is full of amazing and familiar stories, but you might wonder if they are still relevant for your life today. In this five-day reading plan, Dr. Tony Evans will help you connect the Old Testament to Scripture’s big story about God, His kingdom, and humanity, and how the Old Testament Scriptures still have power and meaning for your daily life.  

Tony Evans Teaches Old Testament Survey

The Creation story is an incredible account of God speaking everything into existence. We can look at the oceans or the animals and take them at face value, or we can take joy in the invitations behind them – to drink of the Water that will never run dry, or to take heart, we are more valued than the birds!

Creation

Fresh Wind

GLEANINGS is a one-year devotional through the Bible. It contains answers to key issues, application questions and quotes to think and apply, and a prayer of commitment at the end. The word Genesis means “beginning” and this book records the beginning of everything—the beginning of creation, man, sin, family, culture, and industry—except it does not deal with the beginning of God, because God has no beginning.


GLEANINGS - Genesis

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

The incredible story of Jesus’ horrific death and miraculous resurrection has been retold so many times that, if we’re not careful, we might overlook the significance of some of the smaller details of the events that took place between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. In the “Open Up” Bible study, we’re going to take a closer look at four things that miraculously “opened” in Matthew 27:50-56 immediately following Jesus' last breath. Prayerfully, as we dive deeper into this passage together, the Holy Spirit will open up our hearts to the profound implications of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection!

Open Up

A lot of people ask themselves, “Where do I come from?” This question is important for one’s personal identity. If we trace back far enough, all humans share the same ancestors, Adam and Eve. The Bible tells us about them. So, let’s read where we all come from!

Where Do We Come From?

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. 

Learning From the Old Testament Greats: Abraham – The Father of Faith

A series by Heidi Wysman. The story of Joseph in Genesis 37–50 teaches us how to live a pure life, resist temptation, stay true through trials, have mercy, look beyond our circumstances, and to learn to see God’s presence with us, even in the midst of great suffering in our lives. 

Real Hope: Discovering Hope Through Joseph

In this compelling six-day reading plan, Andrew Ollerton peels back the layers of Joseph’s astonishing life, encouraging us to live the dream even when life’s a nightmare. Learn from Joseph how to triumph over temptation, and how to flourish when you feel stuck. Be inspired by the power of forgiving the unforgivable, stewarding influence for the greater good, finishing strong, and leaving a legacy that lasts. 

Joseph: When Life’s a Rollercoaster

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

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. 

Exodus: The Covenant

The Decalogue—i.e., the Ten Commandments—is perhaps the most famous list in human history. But does it still apply to 21st-century Christians? In this plan, you’ll learn about each commandment and read why this code of conduct is as relevant today as it was when God delivered it to Moses.

Do the Ten Commandments Still Matter?

One of the Bible’s greatest themes, from Genesis to Jesus to Revelation, is God's declaration to His people, “I am with you.” Here in Exodus, we get to the heart of that theme in the detailed instructions for the Tabernacle. Join Through the Word as Kris and Peyton guide you chapter by chapter with explanation and compelling application in just minutes a day. This plan covers Exodus 25-40.

Exodus: Our Freedom Story

As the name suggests, the book of Exodus is about the departure of the enslaved Israelites from Egypt to the land God promised to Abraham. This is an invitation for the people to leave from bondage to freedom, to be called “My People” by God. Is there anything in life that is putting you in bondage? Do you want to be free? Join us as we journey through Exodus.

Through the Bible: Exodus

The Israelites' journey can often mimic our journey with the Lord. Sadly, they were often found grumbling and complaining instead of being filled with faith and, therefore, missed out on some of God’s blessings for them. In this 8-session reading plan, we will go on a journey to learn from them, so that we can receive all the blessings God has made available to us. 

Seven Lessons We Can Learn From the Israelites and Their Journey Through the Wilderness

Real-Life Moments From Exodus

In part one of this seven-part study through the Book of Exodus, we'll explore Exodus 1–6:5. 

Exodus: The Call

The Ten Commandments are often seen as a list of demands impossible to meet. Many believe they are prohibitions that curtail their freedoms. In reality, they are limits full of God’s love for us, allowing us to enjoy life without the consequences not putting them into practice brings. They are one more expression of God's love for you.

In Part 2 of Leviticus, God calls his people to separate themselves from the world and be holy, set apart for Him. It’s a powerful book. It’s also - if we’re honest - a little dry. But fret not! Through the Word is here to explain it. Peyton Jones brings Leviticus to life as he guides you through the laws, feasts, and offerings that all lead us back to Jesus.

7 Days to a Sweeter Year

The last chapter of Exodus ends with an interesting detail – Moses can’t enter the tent of meeting because it is filled with God’s glory. God’s presence is so holy that even Moses can’t come near! Therefore, God must sanctify Moses and His people for holiness, and this is what Leviticus is about. Leviticus means “And He Called”. God calls us to repentance and a lifelong journey of holiness.

Through the Bible: Leviticus

GLEANINGS is a one-year devotional through the Bible. Leviticus begins where Exodus left off. No sooner did the glory cloud come down to rest on the tabernacle in the concluding verses of Exodus, than God instructed Moses with the content in Leviticus which is a book about atonement.  “The word kipper (“to make atonement”) is used almost fifty times in Leviticus.
