Thoughts on Joseph

These notes have been adapted from a Young People’s Zoom online Bible Study in 2021. Joseph is one of the most loved characters in the Old Testament, and with good reason too. The reader, and any who study his life and character will appreciate many similarities to the Lord Jesus Christ. Some thoughts from theContinue reading “Thoughts on Joseph”

Worship in Spirit and Truth

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him”. John 4:23. What does it mean to worship in spirit and in truth? Does it mean to go to church and worship? Does it mean to worshipContinue reading “Worship in Spirit and Truth”

Outline of the Book of Acts

Acts is another very interesting book in the New Testament that is just after the four gospels. The book starts in a similar way to the gospel of Luke, and therefore on that basis we can conclude that this book was written by Luke, who also wrote his gospel. We get some sections in ActsContinue reading “Outline of the Book of Acts”

Outline of the Gospel of John

John was the last writer of the gospels, his three epistles and Revelation were all assumed to be written late in the first century A.D. Therefore, the Word of God became complete with the apostle John’s writings. John was a disciple and a Jew, and he was one who knew and appreciated the love ofContinue reading “Outline of the Gospel of John”

Outline of the Gospel of Luke

Luke was the only Gentile (non-Jew) writer of the New Testament books, who wrote both this gospel and the Acts. In fact, he also was not one of the twelve disciples of the Lord, or one of the seventy that Jesus Christ had sent for the work of the ministry. Luke was a physician (doctor)Continue reading “Outline of the Gospel of Luke”

The Epistles of Paul

The following thirteen epistles are all  written by the apostle Paul, and possibly the fourteenth, which is Hebrews. The first of these is the Epistle to the Romans. Although Paul  did not establish the church at Rome, he wrote  to the Romans, a group of Gentiles  who accepted Christ as their Saviour. While the fourContinue reading “The Epistles of Paul”

Miracles of Jesus Christ

The list will contain the name or title of the miracle and the references found in the gospels. This list is adaptedContinue reading “Miracles of Jesus Christ”

Outline of the Gospel of Mark

Mark is the second gospel, written by John Mark. He was not one of the twelve disciples. It is the shortest of the four gospels and he was perhaps the youngest writer of the four gospels and it may well have been the earliest gospel that was written. If we want to benefit from readingContinue reading “Outline of the Gospel of Mark”

Outline of the Gospel of Matthew

The New Testament in the Bible commences with the four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. All these gospels present the Lord Jesus Christ in various characteristics but all the gospels stress and clearly state that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God and God the Son. Even though Matthew presents Christ mainlyContinue reading “Outline of the Gospel of Matthew”

The Prophetical Books

We now come to the Prophetical books, forming a fourth division of the Bible, and the last division of the Old Testament. These books can be further divided into the Major Prophets (Isaiah to Daniel) and the Minor  Prophets (Hosea to Malachi). These books give prophecies regarding the judgment of Israel and Judah, then theContinue reading “The Prophetical Books”
