from Yvon Prehn to help you know, trust, and apply the Bible

Through The Bible in Chronological Order In 2019 the podcasts went through the Bible Chronologically, which means we read and I did podcasts on the Bible in the order that the events took place, which is not the order they are in the Christian Bible.

This method of study will helps understand the Bible in real history and the poetry, prophets, letters will make sense in a way they haven't before if you haven't gone through the Bible in this way.

This series in its entirety is on this website and you can listen to the podcasts here on or the various podcast sources listed below.

What about people who have never heard of Jesus? Why do innocent people suffer?How can we help people who are suffering? Week Two of Thru the Bible, Genesis & Job

by

Genesis and Job, answers to the BiG Questions, part 2One of the great answers we discovered the first video of this series is the assurance that Life after death is a great promise to those who believe in Jesus. Yet that assurance brings up another question that we will answer in this lesson which is:

“What about those who have never heard of Jesus?”

We have two more questions in this series,  “Why do innocent people suffer?”

And along with that one the final question, “How can we comfort those (including ourselves) who suffer?”

We will look in depth at answers to these questions in this lesson.

Below is a PDF of the Notes and Questions, plus the podcast and video and below the video with the podcast is the audiogram, a new version of the lesson.

Genesis & Job, answers to the Big Questions of Life, part ONE—week #1 of Thru the Bible in Chronological Order

by

Genesis and Job, part One, week one in reading through the BibleWith this lesson, we start the adventure of reading through the Bible in Chronological Order. It begins by reading Genesis and three days into it, we jump to the book of Job.

We will talk about why we read these two books together and you’ll see how Genesis and Job lay the foundation for much of what we will read in the rest of the Bible by starting out with answers to the Big Questions of life—

  • How did the world begin?
  • Why are there troubles in this world?
  • Is this all there is or is there life after death?

God hasn’t left us alone to answer these questions and many more that trouble us in our quiet moments and worst nightmares, as we will learn in this lesson. The material on life after death is especially encouraging as you’ll see in a close analysis of a key passage in Job.

Below is a downloadable PDF of the Notes, the chart talked about in the lesson, Questions, a link to the podcast, and a video of the lesson.

Psalms, How to walk with Jesus in every part of life

by

Psalms, how to walk with JesusWe may not think of Psalms as a book of the Bible about discipleship, but in reality, it is one of the most instructive books in the Bible to help us follow Jesus in all areas of life, which is the essence of being a disciple.

Dallas Willard described discipleship in this way:

We need to be clear in our heads about what discipleship is. My definition:
A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do. A disciple is not a person who has things under control or knows a lot of things. Disciples simply are people who are constantly revising their affairs to carry through on their decision to follow Jesus. http://www.dwillard.org/articles/individual/rethinking-evangelism

The key part of his definition that applies to our lesson is: “people who are constantly revising their affairs to carry through on their decision to follow Jesus. “

Psalms will help us see what that means as they show us how God’s people interact with Him in many areas of life—all areas of life—including those we don’t think God cares about.

In this lesson, we’ll look at Psalms of Praise, Salvation History, Lament, and Imprecatory Psalms (these are the hard ones that call down judgment and curses on enemies). I’ll give examples of these specific types and THEN application suggestions and what we can learn from that Psalm for our walk with God and growth as Jesus’ disciples.

Read the Bible in Chronological Order! Motivation, how to, and helps to get the most out of it!

Read the Bible in Chronological Order--lesson and downloadable schedules
If you’d like to just immediately jump to the schedules to read the Bible in Chronological Order, just click on the image.

Where do we go for truth today? For a connection with reality in living our day-to-day lives and for our eternal salvation?

We certainly won’t get it from the media or the news or from asking one of the new AI chatbots (artificial intelligence online sources that are upending content creation on the web and in business). The only trustworthy place to find the truth is in God’s Word.

The Old Testament reminds us:

The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever. Ps. 119:160, NLT

When Jesus prayed for his followers just before His crucifixion, he talked with the Father about the importance of His Word:

I gave them your word; The godless world hated them because of it, Because they didn’t join the world’s ways, Just as I didn’t join the world’s ways. I’m not asking that you take them out of the world But that you guard them from the Evil One. They are no more defined by the world Than I am defined by the world. Make them holy—consecrated—with the truth; Your word is consecrating truth. John 17:16,17 MSG

It is essential to get God’s Word into our lives and reading the Bible, all the way through, cover to cover, in Chronological Order is the best way to do it. From helping people do this in a variety of settings for many years, and in my personal experience, I’ve found reading the Bible in Chronological Order is one of the most life-changing things you can do. It will strengthen your faith and help you grow as a disciple of Jesus.

This lesson is an overview of the reasons why people don’t read the Bible in chronological order, the benefits of reading it in chronological order, and how to get the most out of it.

Below is a downloadable copy of the eBook collection of schedules and journal pages, and below that the podcast and video of the lesson.

PLEASE pass on and share this lesson with others and plan to follow along with the lessons in the coming year as we go through the Bible in Chronological Order.

Why this schedule for reading the Bible in Chronological Order
Though there are many fine schedules available, after lengthy prayerful consideration and study, I believe this schedule will be helpful to you as a tool to help you and those you teach to enable you to grow in your Christian discipleship.

Committing to reading the Bible in the coming year in chronological order is a significant time-consuming and spiritual decision. There are many schedules available for you to do that and I encourage you to make the most of any and all of them.

Following are a podcast, video, and a written transcript of the specific reasons why I organized the readings into the order that I did.

For a copy of the schedules themselves in dated and undated formats in a variety of sizes and also free journaling pages you can copy, click on the PDF below.

Why a New Schedule for Reading the Bible in Chronological Order

 

TRANSCRIPT

Why I came up with a new schedule for reading or listening to the Bible in Chronological Order
Yvon Prehn, www.Bible805.com

Would you like to read or listen to the Bible in a way that makes sense?

Experiencing it in Chronological Order, in the order events happened will do that.

I came up with a new schedule to do that and I can’t wait to share it with you!

If you’ve decided you want to read or listen to the Bible in Chronological, Historical order, you need to decide—
• Which schedule, what order of reading through the Bible to use?
• LOTS of them out there and they are all very good, so why should I create a new one?
• I’ve been reading through the Bible every year and teaching it.
• And from that experience there were adjustments I wanted to make to the schedules I’d tried—some big, some smaller. I’ve got a new one for you—you can download it at www.Bible805.com.
• Now I want to share why I did what I did! [Read more…]
