Old Testament Overview

DAY 1 OF 104

If you are doing this reading plan as a family or group, it is recommended that you each take a turn to 'lead' (little ones will pick up this skill as it is modelled, using the format of the 3 questions following each reading). There is flexibility for how each person would like to lead (if they want to do something different), but each session is normally structured around the same 3 questions.

After reading the passage use these questions as the basis for your discussion.

1. What stood out for you / what was interesting and why? (The Holy Spirit’s prompting)

2. What was the passage about / the main message / big idea? (The Word of God)

3. What should we do / how can we apply this message? (Faith in Action)

Day 2

About this Plan

Old Testament Overview

This plan is designed for families (our girls were under 10 when we used it); it can also be used for personal devotion. Each day uses the same 3 questions to explore the text. The plan provides a comprehensive "bird's eye view" of the Old Testament; the aim is to understand the first phase of God's salvation plan through the Covenants (relationships) which He established with His people.
