The Backstory of Jesus—Old Testament tabernacle, sacrifices, and festivals—foundation for understanding the rest of the Bible

by

The Backstory of Jesus, the tabernacle, sacrifices, festivalsEvery sport, hobby, or special interest has insider terms and history and the more you know the back story of them the more you’ll understand and enjoy the activity. —

The Bible is no different—the more you understand the foundational items in the first 5 books of the Bible, what we call the Pentateuch, the more the rest of the Bible will make sense. This is especially true in what you’ll see about what it will tell you about the foreshadowing of Jesus’ life and completion of our salvation in the Old Testament.

We’ll talk about some of them in this lesson today that is longer and more complex than some, but I trust worth it in your understanding of the Bible. Below is a PDF of the handouts, plus links to the podcast and video on the lesson.

Resources to help you to read, listen to, and TEACH OTHERS through the Bible in the coming year

by

I truly believe that getting to know your Bible well by reading it in Chronological Order is THE MOST important thing you can do in the coming year and every year, not only for yourself, but for those you care for in your small groups, classes, or other ministry groups.

Resources to help you learn and teach through the Bible
This article has links to everything from motivational videos to schedules and blank journal pages you can use to teaching materials to help you go through the Bible in Chronological Order in the coming year. You can freely pass on all the resources here.

However, even though I feel deeply about this and have created many resources for it, I realized I hadn’t been very clear on exactly what I’ve done, the resources I have, and how I can help you in this vital area.

The podcast and video here are descriptions of the resources I have available to help you both do it for yourself and to teach others. Almost all are free, only one at a very low cost ($36 a year for all the lessons) so think of them as one last gift of the holiday season that may make the greatest impact in your spiritual life and the lives of those you influence in the coming year.

Below the podcast and video, I’ll overview the various resources and give you links to them.

To motivate people to read their Bibles in chronological order

At the links below I have videos, podcasts, blogs, and other media with the reasons WHY you should read your Bible in Chronological Order

Many people haven’t ever considered reading it that way because that isn’t the order our Bibles are in. To help them understand the benefits of it, why they probably haven’t read their Bibles that way, and why our Bibles aren’t in that order, I have these 3 background videos. Following them is ONE newly done motivational one, that can be used by itself with parts of the previous videos included in it. CLICK on any of the thumbnails to go to the video:

Why the Bible805 Chronological Bible reading schedule is in the order it is in and FREE copies of it for you to share

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. However, the one I created for you from Bible805 is the result of much time, prayer, study, and revision from both the perspective of a Bible teacher and a trained historian. 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. You have permission to copy, share, do whatever you want with them in as many ways as you want. PLEASE do pass them on. Also, please subscribe to the Bible805 newsletter HERE as in the coming year I’ll be sharing weekly lessons as we go through the Bible in chronological order. It will be a life-changing experience.

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…]

Teach the Bible
From sharing with family and friends, to teaching from the pulpit, there are many situations where you can teach the Bible and Bible805 has the resources for you to be able to do it.

Would like to teach the Bible? The resources of Bible805 are available for you to be able to do that!

There are two sources for videos of the Bible805 content, one is free and one is a paid source that allows you unlimited rights to show the videos in your church, homeschool, small group, Bible class or any other way you want to use them. The two sources are:

Bible805 YouTube channel

For each of the podcast lessons, I’ll post a full-length video of that lesson on the Bible805 channel and it is a great place to view the content. Do subscribe to the channel as I also periodically post videos of additional content or short teaching and inspirational videos.

The videos on the YouTube channel serve as a preview of what is available as an extended teaching module on the Bible805 Academy.

Bible805 Academy

I created this additional source of the Bible805 videos , plus additional resources for those of you who want to download them and use them in your teaching or for additional study without the distractions of YouTube (though I am so thankful YouTube is there for me to post them free of charge).

In addition to an advertisement and distraction-free video, with rights for you to use it as you want, the lessons (for the newer ones, I’m catching up adding all resources to the older ones) on the Bible 805 Academy include:

  • A 1080p video
  • An MP3 audio file
  • PowerPoint file of the lesson
  • A PDF of Notes/Transcript of the lesson
  • A PDF of Questions on the lesson for individual study or group discussion
  • Two digital files of images and PR text you can use to promote the topic
  • Unlimited reproduction rights of the video and handouts within your church, group, ministry, or business.

These materials make a complete teaching package for you to adapt and use in whatever setting you want.

Each of the lesson modules is available for the extremely low price of $4.99 each or $36 for a year’s subscription of ALL the lesson modules available on the site because I want anyone, anywhere to be able to use these to teach others about God’s Word.

If even that price is too much for you if you are a small church or mission or for whatever reason, you don’t need to explain, simply email me at yvonprehn@gmail.com and I’ll give you a free subscription to it.
