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
D5-7: Measures of Obedience
D8-11: Mentality of Obedience
D12-26: Worship & Relation Laws
D27-30: Call for Commitment
D31-34: Change in Leadership
Let’s meditate thro Deuteronomy,
and be reminded like Israelites
what the Lord had done; and be
encouraged to rededicate our
lives to Him. In Jesus’ name, Amen

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

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.

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
E13-18: Israel Complains in Desert
E18-24: Israel Receives law at Sinai
E25-31: Plan for Tabernacle/Priests
E32-40: Is Idolatry & Tabernacle Up
Let’s meditate thro Exodus and be
boosted in our faith in God. Amen

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
J4-14: 3 Friends Answer Job C1
J15-21: 3 Friends Answer Job C2
J22-31: 3 Friends Answer Job C3
J32-37: Young Man Answers Job
J38-42: The Lord Answers Job
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
four centuries, during which a
nation is founded and salvation is
promised for the fallen race of man.

We’ll cover Gen in the following:
Gen 1-2: Six Days of Creation
Gen 3-5: Entrance of Sin
Gen 6-9: Noah’s Ark
G10-11: Babel & Spread of Nations
G12-14: The Call of Abram
