Glen Park Gospel Church >> Bible Studies >> Favourite Readings #14

The Read Through the Bible in Three Years plan is still running on this web site and can be followed on the above 3 Year Bible link. This year however, we continue with a year of the most favourite Bible passages grouped together under one or more themes each month. You will notice that the reading may be short, sometimes only a few verses, seldom more than twenty. Also you will probably read some passages more than once, but in a different context.

If you are settled into a regular pattern with your devotional time, please continue to enjoy it, but if you are not in the habit of regular Bible reading; here is your opportunity. Make a habit of selecting something from each reading to encourage and fuel your prayer time. A point of praise; encouragement to pray; a lesson to learn or an example to follow. Use the Bible passage to keep your prayer time active and interesting. Look for God to speak to you through His word and wait on Him. He is not in a hurry. Then share this blessing with someone else.

Each month we will update the tables below to include the current month's readings, until eventually another full year is portrayed. It will then always be available from our Archive of Study sections.

 


TOP || Previous || Next January

In this month's readings we look again at the One who came to die. First we paint a word picture the Old Testament prophecies, then the characteristics of His nature, and the event of Jesus coming as recorded by Dr. Luke, a physician who interviewed the participants of this unique and instructive event.

TOP || Previous || Next February

The four Gospels tell the Jesus story from different perspectives. Of a total 3920 verses in the Gospels, 1865 or 48% are Jesus' own words, and in 10% of these he quotes or alludes to the Old Testament. This month we examine some of these in his daily ministry. They are mainly teaching, rather than prophetic.

This month we read through selections from the letters of Paul. Some of your favourite passages are missed out, as we concentrate rather on Paul's career, his teaching, his readers and their needs. Our aim is to look behind the message to better understand the man and his message.

Matthew was Jewish, and he used Jewish forms and patterns in writing his Gospel. His purpose was to assist the Jewish way of encouraging his people in the Jewish Scripture memorising techniques. These included placing text into groups that jogged their memory. For example there were three wise men who brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the holy family. Thus as you read your prayer notes this month, look for the basic number patterns in your text. They are all found in Matthew's Gospel.
