It is a study for: an individual, a family, a small-group Bible study, or a Sunday School program for all ages. The Bible is the most important thing we can know, and it specifically reveals what God expects from His people. But many can find the Bible difficult to read or understand. Yet in order to know how to live a Christian life that is pleasing to God, we must first understand what His Word says. The Biblical Path of Life Volume 1 is: year one of a three-year study going completely through the Bible Begins with an overview of the Old Testament It is a simple, historical, chronological journey through the Bible It compares Scripture to Scripture The lessons reveal Jesus and how the Bible is applicable to everyday life Learn foundational truths that God showed his people from the beginning of timetruths that you will see echoed and fulfilled by the familiar word of the New Testament. And with these principles of the Bible, you can apply them to your own Christian life and become more like Jesus. M. J. Ross taught the Bible for many years and learned that there were many people who didnt understand Gods Word. This realization was the basis for The Biblical Path of Life. After using this study to teach the Bible, many hearts and lives were changed because of the understanding of how the Bible fits together with a purpose to reveal Jesus. M. J. Ross currently lives in Oklahoma. The Biblical Path of Life is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to understand or to teach the Bible. Its format makes it easy to know the message of each book of the Bible and how that book fits into the overall theme of scripture. It is without reservation that I recommend this resource for use in any Bible Study setting, particularly in Sunday school and discipleship training. ~ Pastor John Wylie, Rehoboth Baptist Church, Claremore, OK I now understand how the Bible fits together! I have studied through the Bible using this curriculum four times and each time I come to a deeper understanding of the scriptures! ~Mary, Oklahoma This 3-year Bible Study program is a breath of fresh air amidst the typical swirl of Bible stories lacking connection to Gods Word as a whole. My own daughters ages 14 and 12 have gone through the Bible from cover to cover three times (using The Biblical Path of Life). Going through the entire Bible has helped me get out of reading my favorite passages over and over. And now I understand my favorite passages so much better because I understand more how it all connects We see the Lord Jesus everywhere in the Bible! ~Jody, Oklahoma Having grown up in church, traveled, and taught in different churches, I have taught from several different Sunday School curriculums. The Biblical Path of Life has by far been the most in depth and chronologically on track curriculum I have learned and taught from. There is far more knowledge in the material per lesson than any other curriculum I have used. The whole curriculum is Christ centered, a program of study, and simple to use. Designed for the teacher and student to absorb and learn from and is extremely recommended.~ Justin, Oklahoma You will find in this series of Biblical studies the most conservative, literal, deeply foundational truths of the Holy Bible. Our church, Rehoboth Baptist of Claremore, OK has used The Biblical Path of Life studies for the past twelve years for our children and for our Adults for the past seven years bringing our Bible Study program into a Family Bible study for the whole church. I highly recommend this study to bring your Bible Study program together as a family in unity. ~ Wayne Keely, Pastor
Download or read book How to Read the Bible and Understand It written by Daniel Hernandez and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2018-09-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever sat in church and heard a pastor read a few bible verses at the beginning of their sermon and then watch them spend the next 30-45 minutes teaching and preaching in depth on those same verses and ask yourself, "How did they get all that info and knowledge from just those few verses?" Would you like to be able to study God's word in the same way and learn how to get as much knowledge and understanding as you can from your Bible? Have you ever read a verse, section, chapter or a whole book in the Bible and only understand very little or even nothing you've just read? Are you looking to grow more in your understanding of God's word in your personal life?If you answered yes to any of those questions, this book was written with you in mind. The purpose of this book is to equip you with fundamental methods and principles to use when reading and studying your Bible. So many Christians today unfortunately don't read or study their Bible as much as they may want to or should. When they are asked, "Why don't you read your Bible as much as you want to?" they reply, "When I read it, I get confused and don't really understand what I'm reading." This book provides you with the proper methods to use that will help you understand God's word better during your reading and studying time. There are many great books out there from authors who have written extensively on this subject and many have done a great job in doing so, but not everyone has the time to read those three hundred plus page scholarly books. Plus, there may be one book that covers certain things on this subject while other books cover different aspects on this subject. Each section covered in this book was intentionally selected to help you get a full grasp of the basic fundamentals in reading and studying your Bible in an easy and practical way. You can read one chapter a day and finish this book in just 3 weeks or you can read it much faster, but the purpose of this book is not just to read it, but to take the time to reflect on what you have read and apply that to your personal Bible studying time. This book is designed to be a guide that encourages you to read your Bible regularly with excitement and expectations because now you have the basic tools to understand what you are reading better. You will learn guidelines set forth to help you properly understand the Bible. I will focus on five central features of understanding the Bible - What the Bible is all about (an overview), observing the text (observations), the context (literary, historical, cultural and social), how to interpret the Bible (interpretation), and how to apply it to your life (application). To get the most out of this book, I would encourage you to read it in a chronological order. It has been intentionally structured to be read that way. This book will also teach you how to apply God's Word to your life. I trust and pray this book will become a useful resource to better equip you in understanding, interpreting, and applying God's word. My prayer is to encourage you to read and study your Bible more often and get understanding - to apply it to your life so you can grow in your walk with Jesus. I also want to encourage you, after reading it, to challenge others that you know, who would benefit from this book, to get this book so as to help them better understand God's word too. This is a great book to get for those you are mentoring or 'discipling' to read it along with them. My hope is to give you these basic tools that will enhance your knowledge and passion for God's word.

Download or read book In Step With God written by Charles F. Stanley and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2010-09-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is God like? Can I trust Him? Does He know me and can He help me tackle the challenges I face? Most people know a little something about God, but their knowledge of who He is and how He works stops just past the point of an initial introduction. Why is it so important to know the One who knows all about you? The answer is simple: when you come to a point where you understand His ways, your life takes on new meaning. You stop looking at old problems and feeling defeat, fear, and anxiety. Suddenly, you realize that the Person who gave you life has set an amazing course for you to follow. In Step with God offers simple, clear teaching that encourages and challenges you to approach life and its decisions—both big and small—by first knowing and considering God’s character. “The nearer I draw to the Lord,” writes Dr. Stanley, “the more I will know about Him—His love for me and His good plans and desires for my life. Plus, the more intimate I become with God, the better I understand His way, and this understanding leads to a deeper longing to know God better. I learn how to discern His will for my life and the situations I encounter.”
