Outline of 1 Corinthians

The first epistle of Corinthians was written after Paul had visited Corinth in Acts 18. Many people there converted from their idolatry and became Christians, and a local church was formed, an expression of the one body of Christ. This epistle is full of teaching and setting things in order in the local church whereContinue reading “Outline of 1 Corinthians”

Genesis to Deuteronomy

It is very striking that we have the first five books in our Bible, Genesis to Deuteronomy, in the particular order, and for a reason also. The names of these books have meanings, and the meanings will help unravel the reason as to why they are in this particular order, why Genesis is first, thenContinue reading “Genesis to Deuteronomy”

Overview of Proverbs

The amazing and interesting book of Proverbs has seven main sections which are clear. The beginning of each section is not a proverb itself, but about hearing instructions or inclining the ear. The book is attributed to king Solomon, with the exception of chapters 30 and 31. The Bible mentions that Solomon spoke 3,000 proverbsContinue reading “Overview of Proverbs”

Overview of Job

The events in the book of Job is perhaps in between Genesis 11 and 12, while God was dealing with Abram (before his name was called Abraham) at the same time. Job is one of the oldest books, and it is generally believed that the events occurred just after the flood. It was just afterContinue reading “Overview of Job”

Tabernacle Divisions

This is an attempted division of the Tabernacle, found in Exodus 25-30 as per the instructions that God gave to Moses when he was on the mountain for 40 days. I used the aid of respected writers/commentators, along with clear sections/divisions in the Bible, the Word of God. This is to encourage a study ofContinue reading “Tabernacle Divisions”

Jonah compared with Christ

The book of Jonah is a very interesting book in the Word of God. It is found in the Prophetical books, in a section that is referred to as the ‘minor prophets’. Many lessons can be learned from Jonah, who has been often called the disobedient prophet. However, what is our reaction to God callingContinue reading “Jonah compared with Christ”

Feasts in the book of Esther

It is a wonder that even though the name of God, reading the Scriptures and prayer are absent from this wonderful little book, there are feasts recorded in this book. There are three feasts, each one with a significance in the historical aspect, but each feast comes with very important lessons to learn. Following fromContinue reading “Feasts in the book of Esther”

The Gospel in the book of Esther

There are two books in the Bible that bear the names of women. One is Esther, and the other book is Ruth. Both are short and both tell us a story of some point in the history of Israel, with very significant meanings. Ruth was a Moabitess (a gentile woman) who had faith to goContinue reading “The Gospel in the book of Esther”

Thoughts on Enoch

There is not a lot mentioned in the Bible about Enoch, but what is mentioned in just a few parts of the Word of God is striking. Enoch did not have such a large biography like Abraham or Joseph, but what is mentioned about him is sufficient to say that he walked with God, pleasedContinue reading “Thoughts on Enoch”

Poem about the four Gospels

There is a poem that I would like to share, and we sing this with the children sometimes in our local place of gathering. Perhaps a challenge for you to think of the verses or sections in each gospel that corresponds with the lines of the poem. This is following on from the previous postContinue reading “Poem about the four Gospels”
