The Old Testament leads us to Jesus. From the book of Malachi to Matthew is 400 years. In that silence God was working behind the scenes that’s sets up the amazing ministry of Jesus in the Gospels!

The history of the Bible is vitally important to understand. The past weekend we looked at the “story behind the story” in looking at the genres of the Bible. This week, we will look at how the Old Testament stories ultimately point to one important theme.

When we are told the read “The Bible” often many of us aren’t sure what we are actually reading. Not knowing the context, genre, or purpose of the Scripture you are reading can lead to confusion. This week, we look at how we can navigate through that.

When we read the Bible, we are reading more than just stories in a book. We are discovering the movement and working of God in this world. Most importantly, we see how God changed the word through Christ and how that shapes the significance of (and importance) of “The Bible”. 

Many of us believe that the Bible is the Word of God and understand how important it is. Interestingly, we often neglect to read or apply Scripture to our lives. This is because we have a reading problem.
