Bible Studies
We love our "Love" Bible studies because the nature of Biblical love is so easily misunderstood or taken for granted. Usually written for February review, these studies are good any time of year, for any occasion...
"Abiding Love" explores 1 John in this 20 lesson study considering the over-arching message of how to abide with God and live a life where He is abiding with you. Study comes complete with a split-page copy of the 1 John Text for notations, as well as worksheets for each day.
"Love Is..." takes a whole-of-Scripture approach to studying 1 Corinthians 13. Guided study pages cover a full month of daily lessons which consider these timeless passages in light of how Love is really defined and connected to other areas of Scripture.
Various other studies...
"A Light To My Path" uses Psalm 119 in a month-long, stanza-by-stanza study of the Bible's longest Psalm. Originally written for October as a counter-to the "darkness" of Halloween, the colorful autumn theme graphics should not dissuade - the Word as a Light to our path is still applicable and educational no matter what time of year you dive in.
Holiday and Seasonal studies...
"Choosing Gratitude" is a 20 day study designed for the Thanksgiving season with an eye on the real Source of gratefulness and how choosing an attitude of gratitude isn't just for the good times (or just for November) but is for all the times, no matter the month of the year. The Faith and Home Blog has corelating articles and devos (posted November 2023) to make this study a family affair!
"The Joy of the Christmas Message" spends the 25 day advent season considering Jesus' pre-eminence, anticipation, and, ultimately, His birth with challenges to NOT take this annually repeated story for granted. The reading chart and study template prompt readers to see the story of Christ's arrival with new eyes for the timeless truths His birth brought.
Chronological Bible Read-Thru Series
A FREE printable monthly Bible read-through plan for serious students of Scripture. In this year-long series we will read-through the Bible in Chronological order on a 6-day-week schedule. Designed for success, this series will have you proudly completing your Bible by the end of the year! While this plan is intended for a simple 10 (+/-) minutes a day read-through NOT to replace a regular deep-dig Bible Study, each month's intro material covers how it *can* also be utilized as the basis for a deep-dig! (Current pages are set to a 2024 format.)
January - The first installment of a monthly Chronological Bible Read-through plan starts in the beginning with Genesis and comes with an introduction for how to stay on task and use this plan for a quick read-through and/or deep study.
February - Month 2 of our read-through plan picks up in Exodus and travels through multiple books throughout the month. After an intro to the month's reading plan, is a review of tasks and encouragement for both quick read-thru and/or deep study.
March - We will finally exit the Pentateuch (first 5 books) this month and enter into the life of David and the reign of kings. We will even get to soak up more poetry as we enjoy the inspiration of God through David in Psalms. The adventures really begin!
May - A month for Psalms as we play catch-up with some of David's many reflections. All of May will provoke thought as to how we live (Ecclesiastically) and Whom we serve. The intro will explain our catch-up mode and the whole of the month will inspire!
July - will continue our adventure of kings and prophets. The beauty of a chronological read is seeing how the decisions of the kings brought about the prophesies of both major and minor prophets... with a few time-relevant Psalms thrown in!
September - believe it or not, will be almost done with the Old Testament!!! Rounding out this section are more of the minor prophets, some post-captivity history, and even Psalms contemporary to the times of Daniel and shortly after. Plenty of variety!
November - we are nearing the finish line! This month we will wrap up the life-and-times of Jesus, jump into early church history, and explore some of Paul's letters/epistles. While ALL of Scripture teaches us God's Character and our call to follow, these New Testament times are where the rubber really hits the road!
April - This month we explore the life of David along with some of his accompanying Psalms which resulted from various experiences. Before the month ends, Solomon will step in to reign and share his God-given wisdom after his father's passing.
June - we will watch the rise and fall of kings, good and bad, and begin to see how they connect to the prophets. At times, reading of the bad kings can be exhausting, however, notice God’s character and heart through it all – eye opening!
August - will wrap up with having covered *most* of the major prophets (we will finish Daniel and Ezekiel in September). This month's intro also touches on some tips for clearing some of the fog when trying to read prophesy.
October - shifts into the final quarter of the year as we shift from Old Testament to New. This month we will begin exploring the life of Jesus through the closing of his ministry. We will also discuss the *complimentary* line-up of the gospels (not contradictory at all!)
December - ready to claim SUCCESS in reading through the entire Bible! But first, the rest of our early church history, letters from Paul and other disciples articulating actionable lessons on the Christian's Called-to walk, and rounding out with Revelation - not just a book about prophecy, but also a shining light of HOPE, just like the Christmas season we end in.
