The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearSample
Week 9. Day 4. Deuteronomy 29-31.
Ch 29 is a covenant renewal ceremony. Moses reminds the people of God’s faithfulness to them in the past, and warns them that disobedience to him will lead to them being cast out of the land (v27-28).
Bonus: At times the laws of the Old Testament might sound a bit as if the people need to earn their salvation by their obedience. But Deuteronomy 29:19 is an important verse: it shows that the emphasis on our actions is because they reveal our hearts. From start to finish, salvation is not earned, it is received by faith.
Trace what God promises in 30:1-10, after the people have done into exile for their disobedience.
In 30:3ff God promises to gather the people from the nations where they have been scattered. This is a sort of ‘new Exodus’, but unlike the first Exodus, it will not simply be a geographical return; it will also be a spiritual return to God, enabled by the new heart God will give.
Ch 31 Joshua to succeed Moses. Pick out any commands / charges given to Joshua and to the 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.
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!
