Whilst the Bible is arranged by
types of writings, we meditate it
chronologically to get better flow.
We start with Genesis on God’s
Plan for creation, then meditated
Job on the Sovereignty of God;
Exodus, Leviticus, Num-Deut on
Deliverance, Holiness & Obedience
before Mark on Jesus the Servant
who serve and gave His life for us.
And for the last two weekends,
we meditated on Joshua with the
theme of enjoying God’s blessing
thro obedient faith in His Promises.

In Joshua, an obedient people
conquered the land thro trust in
God’s power. By contrast in Judges
a disobedient and idolatrous people
are often defeated because of their
rebellion against God. In seven
cycles of sin, Judges show how the
nation sets aside God’s laws and
replaces them with “that which
was right in their own eyes”(21:25).
Time after time God disciplines
the nation with foreign oppression.
But national repentance leads
to deliverance as God raises up
Deborah, Gideon, Samson & others
to overthrow their oppressors.

We’ll cover the book of Judges over
3 weekends in following 6 divisions:
J1-2: Military & Spiritual Failure
J3-5: Rescue by 5 Early Judges
J6-8: Gideon and Midianites
J9-12: Seven Judges & Civil War
J13-16: Samson & the Philistines
J17-21: Idolatry and Immorality
Let’s meditate thro Judges and
be warned against compromise,
have a heart open to repentance
and be obedient to the Lord. Amen.

Plan for creation, then meditated
Job on the Sovereignty of God;
Exodus on Deliverance from Egypt;
Leviticus on the way of Holy Living;
Numbers on training in Obedience;
and Deut on Holiness & Obedience.
And for the last 3 weekends, we

we see Jesus as Perfect Servant
who came to seek and serve and
gave his life as a ransom for many.

Continuing on the first book of OT
history, Joshua succeeds Moses
as Commander-in-chief of Israel
and leads the people across the
Jordan into the Promised Land.
This is a book of war and peace,
detailing Israel’s conquering of
Canaan & marking their beginning
as a settled nation. The first half
of the book recounts three military
campaigns spanning seven years
in which Joshua meets & defeats
more than 30 enemy armies.
The second half relates to the
settlement of Canaan,the fulfillment
of God’s promise to Abraham.

The theme of Joshua is Israel’s
possession of the Promised Land
and enjoyment of God’s blessing
thro obedient faith in His Promises.
We’ll cover the book of Joshua over
2 weekends in following 4 divisions:
J1-5: Entering the Promised Land
J6-12: Conquering Promised Land
J13-21: Dividing the Promised Land

Let’s meditate thro Joshua and
be encouraged to be Obedient &
be strengthened in Faith. Amen.

We have been utilising Scripture
to form prayers so that we learn
to think as God thinks; and pray
within His will thus pleasing Him.
Having prayed thro the Scripture
on Knowing Him, Praising Him,
Claiming His Promises, Seeking
His Truths and Thanking Him,
we continue this disciple walk
with our new and exciting series
to Hear God through His Word !

Our God is not silent; for He has
revealed Himself as the God
who guides, corrects, inspires,
encourages and reveals to us.
He has always been vocal and
He will surly continue to be so.
Listening to God is a process,
a journey and an adventure.
God promises that those who
seek Him will be rewarded with
His presence and His voice !!
And the words of the living God
are powerful & life changing. Amen!

Whilst the Bible is arranged by
types of writings, we meditate it
chronologically to get better flow.
We start with Genesis on God’s
Plan for creation, then meditated
Job on the Sovereignty of God;
Exodus on Deliverance from Egypt;
Leviticus on the way of Holy Living;
Numbers on training in Obedience.
And the last 3 weekends on Deut
stresses Holiness as a way of life
and reminds the people of the
necessity of Obedience to God.

Having concluded OT bks of laws,
for variety we go to NT on Mark,
which is first gospel to be written.
Mark’s gospel captures the twofold
purpose of Christ’s coming to
earth to minister and to give his
life a ransom for many (10:45).
Mark describes Jesus as the
Perfect Servant, emphasising
more the actions of Jesus & gives
brief treatment to his teachings.
Jewish customs are explained
as the story moves briskly to the
completion of Jesus’ ministry.

We’ll cover Mark gospel over three
weekends in following 5 divisions:
Mk 1-3: Coming of the Servant
Mk 4-7: Mission of the Servant
M8-10: Magnificence of Servant

be touched by Obedience of Christ
and be strengthened in Faith. Amen

Whilst the Holy Bible is largely
theological history, it is arranged
by types of writings: laws, history,
poetry, prophets, gospel & letters.
But we will meditate the Bible
chronologically to get a better
appreciation of the flow esp OT.
We start with Genesis which
enfolds God’s plan for his creation.
Then we meditated on Job on the
sovereignty of God in the time of
Abraham; before covering Exodus
on Israel’s deliverance from Egypt
& Leviticus focusing on Holy Living.
And in last three weekends of
meditation in Numbers, we see
Israel being trained in obedience.

Next, we conclude the five books
of Laws with Deuteronomy,
composed mainly of three orations
by Moses, which essentially is
a review of the law given in Exodus.
Here Moses recounts God’s past
dealings with His people and
prepares the nation for its arrival
in the Promised Land. Moses
stresses holiness as a way of life
and reminds the people of the
necessity of obedience to God.
Whether possessing the land,
defeating the enemy or simply
enjoying life in a new homeland,
God’s people must exhibit full
Obedience to His commands.

We’ll cover Deuteronomy over 3
weekends in following six divisions:
D1-4: Motives of Obedience

But we will meditate the Bible
chronologically to get a better
appreciation of the flow esp OT.
We start with Genesis which
enfolds God’s plan for his creation.
Then we meditated on Job on the
sovereignty of God in the time of
Abraham before covering Leviticus
on Israel’s deliverance from Egypt.
And for the last two weekends, we
meditated on Leviticus which is a
Hebrew guidebook for holy living.

Next, we proceed to Numbers,
which records Israel’s 40 years of
wandering between Sinai & Moab.
Named for the two numbering
of the nation, the book begins in
the second year after the people
left Egypt and ends as the new
generation prepares to cross
the Jordan River and occupy the
Promised Land. Detailing the lives
of such men of God as Moses,
Caleb and Joshua, the book of
Numbers teaches that while
God’s discipline may sometimes
be severe, He patiently waits to
reward those who obey His Word.

We’ll cover Numbers over 3 week-
ends in the following six divisions:
N1-8: Counting & Cleansing People
N9-12: The People Complaining
N13-16: Spying Out the Land
N17-25:Brass Serpent & Brash Seer
N26-30: The Second Census
N31-36: Preparing to Possess Land
Let’s meditate through Numbers,
learning of how Israel prepared
to enter the promised land,
how they sinned & were punished
and how they prepared to try again.
And let’s truly learn not to treat the
Lord our God with contempt. Amen

Whilst the Holy Bible is largely
theological history, it is arranged

poetry, prophets, gospel & letters.
But we will meditate the Bible
chronologically to get a better
appreciation of the flow esp OT.

We start with Genesis which
enfolds God’s plan for his creation.
Then we meditated on Job who
lived during the time of Abraham
and learnt the sovereignty of God.
And for the last three weekends,
we meditated on Exodus where
Israel was redeemed from bondage
into a covenant relationship with
God & established as a holy nation.

Next, we proceed to perhaps the
most obscure book of Leviticus,
which shows how God’s people
are to fulfill their priestly calling.
Led out of slavery and into the
sanctuary of God, Israel must now
move from salvation into service &
from deliverance into dedication.
This move involves animal sacrifice
for the atonement of the people’s
sins and a series of strict laws
to govern all aspects of daily life,
worship and service to the Lord.

We’ll cover Leviticus over 2 week-
ends (this week worshipping a
Holy God & next Living a Holy Life)
in the following four divisions:-
L1-7: Offering of Praise & Restoratn
L8-17:Holiness for Priests & People
L18-22: Stds & Rules for Living
L23-27: Festivals & Blessings
Let’s meditate through Leviticus
and learn to Worship a holy God
and how to Live a holy Life. Amen.

poetry, prophets, gospel & letters.
To enable you better appreciate
the Bible especially the flow of OT,
exposition will be chronological.
Continuing from book of Genesis,
we meditated 3 weekends on Job
who lives during time of Abraham.

Next, we go to Exodus: During the
400 yrs since the close of Genesis,
the descendants of the patriarchal
family have grown into a nation of
several millions. But they became
oppressed slaves in Egypt. So,
Exodus is a book of redemption
from bondage to Pharaoh into a
covenant relationship with God.
From Egypt to Sinai, Israel learns
of the might and power of God
and the importance of worship.

We’ll cover Exodus over 3 week-
ends in the following six divisions:
E1-6: Israel Cries & Moses’ Call
E7-12: Plagues, Passover & Exodus

poetry, prophets, gospel & letters.
To enable you better appreciate
the Bible especially the flow of OT,
exposition will be chronological.
Continuing from book of Genesis,
instead of going to Exodus, we
will meditate next on book of Job
who lives during time of Abraham.

The book of Job addresses the
issue of man’s suffering, one of
life’s most perplexing questions.
Overnight the patriarch finds his
blessings turned into heartaches
as he loses his health, wealth and
family in a series of tragedies.
Seeking to know why, Job soon
finds the wisdom of his four human
counsellors inadequate. Finally,
Job questions God Himself and
learns valuable lessons on the
sovereignty of God and the need
for complete trust in the Lord.

We’ll cover Job over three week-
ends in the following six divisions:
Job1-3: Job Afflicted and Tested

Let’s join in this study & emulate
Job and decide to trust God
no matter what happens. Amen.

Genesis traces the creation of
the universe, man and woman,
marriage, worship, sin, judgment,
civilisation and redemption.
Chap 1-11 presents God’s dealings
from Creation to Babel – a period
characterised by man’s faithfulness
But chap 12-50 focus on God’s
relationship with Abraham and
his descendants over the next
