The Gospel of Matthew shares the life and ministry of Jesus. Matthew skillfully groups Jesus’ teachings into 5 sections while weaving miracles in between. Matthew pulls liberally from the Old Testament carefully blending Jesus’ words and deeds to show that Christ is the long-awaited King and Messiah.
The story of Noah is much more than we learned as little kids. In chapters 6-9 we discover a warning, promise, and do-over. In chapter 6, God makes an amazing statement about Noah and gives him detailed instructions to prepare for a major upcoming event (the flood).
The sons of God and the daughters of men. Who were they? Do those titles refer to all children of God? And what’s up with the giants? Where did they come from? Is it true they were created by evil angels procreating with human women? Let’s take a look at what the Bible really says.
Chapter 3 shows us why we have sin in our lives, how the enemy of our soul tempts us to disobey our Lord, and the immediate and long-term consequences of sin.
Chapter 2 provides a more detailed account of the creation of man and woman, their relationship, and the paradise God created.
Although I share my study method, there are so many ways we can study the Bible. Bible study isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. In-depth Bible study doesn’t have to be overwhelming when we learn to take it one day at a time, one book at a time, one chapter at a time, one verse at a time.
Our new blog series, reading and studying the Bible chronologically, begins with an introduction to the book of Genesis. Genesis is one of the most well-known books of the Bible for a good reason: Genesis reveals the beginning of everything including God’s plan for our salvation!

After years of topical Bible studies, I desired something new. I found it by reading and studying the Bible in chronological order. It has changed how I view the Bible because it allows me to study in context instead of jumping around. Join me as I share my journey into the how and why of my new study method: chronological Bible study. Free access to our Chronological Bible reading (and study) plan.
A chronological Bible is a great tool to help you get into the Bible and gain an understanding of the flow of Scripture because it helps put Scripture into context, which is vital to good Bible study and interpretation. Bonus: Access to our free chronological Bible reading/study plan!
Verse mapping is an amazing way to study the Bible but sometimes we can get so caught up in the idea of a study that we don’t think through how we are studying.
Verse mapping combines a few different study methods to create a powerful look into Scripture! It is pulling a verse apart, studying each piece, and putting it all back together in a way that shows you how Scripture passages relate to each other giving you a greater understanding of the Bible.
Handwriting Scripture is one of my favorite study methods designed to help you grow in your faith. Hand copying Scripture forces you to slow down and absorb more of what you are reading and writing, allowing for an enlightening Bible study.
