The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearSample
Week 39. Day 4. Matthew 11-13.
Matt 11-12 Gentle and lowly
Ch 11 Why do you think John questions whether Jesus is the Messiah? (What expectations might John have had, and how might the story of Jesus so far not be matching up to them?)
How does Jesus answer him?
What is Jesus criticised for in Ch 11?
What do ch11 and 12 reveal about what sort of Messiah Jesus will be?
Matt 13 begins a section (Matt 13-16) focussing on division.
Ch 13 - parables of the kingdom. It might help to read these in the context of the mixed response that Jesus is getting.
Taken together, what is the main point of these parables?
What can we learn from these parables today?
Why is Jesus rejected (13:53-58)?
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!
