Reading through your Bible in Chronological Order is one of the most important things you can do to grow in your Christian life. At the same time, it is one of the most difficult because our Bibles are not in Chronological Order and it can be difficult both to know where to start and how to sustain your reading.
The following (all FREE) materials from Bible805 will give you the motivation and tools to do that. [Read more…]

Our study of the New Testament is about so much more than an overview of books, or a historical tour. It is the culmination of God’s rescue plan for the people He created.
The development God’s changed, redeemed people is what we’ve been learning about.
All else will fade (churches, buildings, denominations); God’s people will not. And it is those people (you) who will reach the world with God’s message of salvation.
How we become that, the spiritual formation of God’s people is what these “Pastoral Epistles” are about. [Read more…]
Romans is one of the most significant books in the Bible because it is a complete and systematic explanation of the Christian faith.
It is different than the other letters of the New Testament that were written to address specific problems in specific churches.
The focus in this book was to clarify the Christian faith and our salvation—to show from start to finish that it is by grace alone through faith alone, not adherence to Jewish laws, or human effort, that salvation is possible.
At the same time, it also clarifies God’s continuing expectations for those who have accepted His gift of salvation and challenges them to walk worthy. [Read more…]
Please note: EVERYTHING on the Bible805 Academy is FREE. I used to charge in the past, but no longer do, so if you see something that says there is a charge, just ignore it–ALL IS FREE and many, many people from around the world have taken advantage of this–that’s why it was created and I pray many more will use the materials also!
The Bible805 Academy was created so that YOU can have the resources needed to teach the Bible and this video shows you one way to do that. To help you teach in whatever way works for you, the Bible805 Academy (https://www.Bible805Academy.com) has the video and audio versions of the lesson without ads or distractions, plus the original PowerPoint files that you can edit, plus notes, questions, and infographics that go with the various lessons. Following is a video that shows you briefly how to edit the PowerPoints. Below it more information on how to make the materials your own.
You can also remove my name from the lessons. I do not need you to credit me–my goal is to give you quality, well-researched, and tested resources to help you teach the Word of God.
A struggle for most of us who follow Jesus is that we know we should be better than we are. We know God called us to live lives that reflect our Savior, but far too often our lives reflect our world instead.
As we learn in reading Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, this struggle is nothing new. We can grow and become all God wants us to be, and these books and this lesson about them will help us do that. [Read more…]
As we learned in our previous lesson on Acts and Hebrews, when Paul first began preaching this new message of salvation in Jesus, he began by showing how Jesus was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.
As he moves further away from Jerusalem and begins to preach to people who aren’t as familiar with the Bible, he runs into both new questions and new challenges.
Many of these are specific to the particular location he writes to and these letters to the Thessalonians are a good example of this as he confronts a new source of persecution that is political, not simply a religious disagreement. [Read more…]
Typology, the teaching that the Old Testament prefigured events in the New Testament is an important concept to understand as you read your Bible. It’s important because when we see how God has worked out the same plan for salvation history over thousands of years it can give us hope and confidence in our faith and trust in the future God has prepared for us. He did that by showing a type (a preview) of an important truth in the past, that was later fulfilled in reality in the future.
For example, one of the most well-known examples of typology is that in the Old Testament, they sacrificed lambs because of people’s sins. But offering them only covered up their sin until Jesus came to be the final sacrifice and eternally took away our sins. The video that follows will help explain this in more detail.
Hebrews has a reputation for being a difficult book to understand and it is if you simply pull it out of context and without at least some knowledge of the Old Testament that it is based on, it is difficult to figure out what it is talking about.
This is sad because Hebrews was intended to be a book of explanation—of how Jesus fulfilled all that was pictured in the Old Testament, how His life was the reality of what was promised before. [Read more…]
It’s common to hear, even from those who seem very knowledgeable about the Christian faith and the Bible that “the Trinity is very hard to understand” or that “the Trinity is a mystery,” or a similar statement.
I STRONGLY disagree! Our God wants us to know Him and understand Him and I don’t believe the essential doctrine of the Trinity is difficult when it is explained correctly and supported from what the Bible clearly teaches. That’s what this lesson attempts to do, using clear explanations and infographics, available as free downloads. Many people have found it helpful and I trust you will also.
