Strolling Thru The Bible: Children's Devotion Series

507 Words3 Pages

Welcome to Strolling Thru the Bible, a children’s devotion series. We begin in Genesis and take one step (or devotion) at a time until we end the journey in Revelations. I am a long-distance grandma, so I print the devotion and mail a copy. We schedule face time or a Skype meeting; thus spending quality time together discussing our faith. Not only do I share my faith with a very special person in my life, but we get to know each other better and create lasting memories.

The first section provides an overview of either a book of the Bible or a group of chapters from a book of the Bible. The devotion section identifies a Bible verse and facilitates a discussion around the verses’ topic.

Check out the archives to start at the beginning of the series.

# 1 - BIBLE OVERVIEW …show more content…

The Old Testament starts with the Creation, the fall of man, and Noah’s Ark. Additionally, it recounts God’s choosing Abram (later called Abraham) to begin the nation of a chosen people – also known as Jews, Hebrews, or the Israelites. The OT describes the rise of Israel only to fall when they neglect and disobey God. Prophets, kings, songs, and ordinary people such as Ruth, Job, and Esther tell the history of the chosen ones, and you will learn about these people as we progress through the Bible.

The New Testament contains the four Gospels, which include Jesus’ birth, death, and resurrection. The book of Acts and the epistles (letters) written by leaders of this newly formed faith portray the struggles and persecution the church endured. The last book (Revelation) foretells Jesus’ return to earth to rescue all of his followers, so that we may live on the New Earth (Heaven) with Jesus for eternity.

    The heart of the Old Testament second edition is a book written by Ronald Youngblood. Robert Youngblood wrote this book with a goal of showing people that the Old Testament is not any different from the New Testament, and should not be treated as a separate entity. In the book, Youngblood identifies the nine themes that form the pillar of the Old Testament. He then discusses these nine themes of the Old Testaments with supporting scriptures from the New Testament. The nine themes include monotheism, covenant, law, sovereignty, theocracy, sacrifice, election, redemption and faith (Youngblood, 1998).

  • Analyzing And Interpretation Of The Bible By Richard Gonzalez

    1167 Words  | 5 Pages

    Scripture to those who believe is the source of hope and strength for the powerless and the poor by reading the text interactively. What we can do through the five varying themes discussed in this book is being able to appreciate the themes and experiences of our Hispanic brothers and sisters in Christ. Clearly, I see Gonzalez’s aim and in the idea of understanding the Bible through one’s own context and perspective. When any reader engages the biblical text in dialogue their conditions and personal perspective will play a role in the understanding of the scripture and how Scripture speaks to them. By understanding this, we can appreciate differences and learn from them as well.

  • Comparisees And Scribes In The Beginning Of The New Testament

    526 Words  | 3 Pages

    The beginning of the New Testament is like the beginning of a “new world” because the historical, societal and cultural background has changed a lot since the Old Testament. We start to ask questions about what has happened. Some differences include; Pharisees and Scribes are now part of the New Testament, there are new groups and situations, it is never mentioned that Jesus grew up in Nazareth in the Old Testament, and the New Testament is written in Greek instead of Hebrew like the Old Testament. The start of Acts chapter 13 also starts a “new world”. As the gospel goes on the Jewish roots enter the Gentile world.

    Other times it is to be still and let Him hold and love me in His arms. And still, other times it is like labor pains, enduring through them and preparing for a new birth in something He has next. I focus on a book at a time by chapter and by verse studying a passage by observation, interpretation, and application. This has been my personal devotion time approach for many years, however, this class is equipping me to complete this process much more thoroughly in all three areas! I am so grateful to God for this class!

  • Why Can We Read The Holy Bible?

    531 Words  | 3 Pages

    I am interested in taking this class because I want to learn more and to have a better understanding of the Bible. I find that it is interesting that a person can read the Holy Scriptures today and receive one message from the word and tomorrow read the same words and receive a different message. I think that the Holy Bible can become compared to the radio because when individual flips through the station's something specifically that has become meant for a person to hear will become understood and heard by the listener to help the person through the stumbling blocks for each day. The Bible can become used the same way as my example of the radio. Sometimes when we go through our busy lives, we forget about God and reading his word.
