Bible In A Year

In this recap at the end of week 34 we look back over the last two weeks and see how these books reflect something of the Israelites, but also us in the present - how the hearts of people can often be entirely different to how their actions speak. 

In this recap at the end of week 32 we look at some of the books that were included in and throughout the book of Jeremiah. This again is the advantage of the chronological version, we get to read these books within the setting of an overarching book - in this case Jeremiah. If you have any questions or queries, or would like to know anything else, please get in touch with me via jwfrazer@presbyterianireland.org

In this recap at the end of week 30, we look back over the last two weeks and look at the background to the book of Jeremiah and the events that have led to this point. We also think about two verses in Jeremiah which might hold the key to everything!

In this recap, now well over halfway, we look at the book of Isaiah and what it tells Israel and us. If you have any questions or parts of the readings that you would like us to look at, please get in touch with me at jwfrazer@presbyterianireland.org

In this recap at the end of week 26 we look back over what is a common occurrence throughout the Bible; the call to repentance. We look specifically at this in the story of Jonah and how we can learn from that.

At the end of this week you'll have covered HALF THE BIBLE! Congratulations on making it this far and I hope you've found it an enjoyable and educational experience, hearing stories you may have never heard before, and getting to hear a different sequence of books. This week we continue and finish week 26 and half the Bible.

In this recap at the end of week 24 we look at the divided Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. The historians of this time classify whether the Kings were good and bad depending on whether they let the pagan practises continue or not. The famous prophet Elijah speaks into the Kingdoms at this time.

In this recap we look back at the life of Solomon and think about all he did and stood for. We ultimately think about his legacy, what caused his downfall and what we can learn from this

In this recap over the past two weeks we see the reign of the Kingdom of Israel be handed from King David to his son Solomon. Solomon's first task is to build a temple for God, something that his father David wished to do but was not chosen to do by God. We also see the new King Solomon show the gift of wisdom in a dispute between two prostitutes and a dead child.

In this recap over the last two weeks we see the reality of the world around us present in the Bible, we also see the best of Game of Thrones and any other TV drama! It's all right there to read, with no story covered up. This is what we need to recapture in the Christian Faith; the reality of what it says, the reality of what it speaks of and in to.

In this recap we look back over the last two weeks and the change of Kingship within Israel from Saul to David. We also see the benefits of the chronological version of the audio Bible in a year as the Psalms intertwine with the story of David. If you have any questions or queries please get in touch with me via jwfrazer@presbyterianireland.org

In this recap at the end of week 14 we look back over the time when 'everyone did as they wanted' (Judges 17:6). This seems to be the theme of these past two weeks but in the midst of it God continues to work. We look at this specifically through the bizarre and horrific story of the Levite and the Concubine. If you have any questions or queries please get in touch 

'In Israel everyone did as they saw fit' is a reoccurring theme and in Judges we look at this continuing story as the Kings of Israel appear

In this recap at the end of week 12 we look back over the last two weeks and see how the leadership of the Israelites has changed as they embark upon their long awaited journey into the actual Promised Land. The 40 years of the Israelites, and the last number of weeks for us have anticipated this time, so we celebrate it with great enthusiasm.

As the people of Israel begin their journey into the Promised Land after the 40 years of wandering through the wilderness, we look at what the book of Joshua has in store for us

The recap at the end of week 10 looks back over the last two weeks and approximately 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. We see them stepping into the biggest event in Israel's history as they step into the Promised Land. This marks a major part of their identity as they walk towards who God wants them to be.

In this introduction we look at the sermon Moses gives the people of Israel as they stand on the edge of the Promised Land

In this outline we look at the next book in the Torah, the book of Numbers, as the people of Israel continue on their journey towards, and around the Promised Land. We think of how this book fits into the whole Bible and what it teaches us

In this recap we look over the last two weeks and one of the most important passages in the Old Testament as God instructs the people of Israel about the Day of Atonement. Once again God liberates His people.

In this episode we look through the very strange (and at times boring) book of Leviticus to see what it might tell us about God
