66 Books, and a lifetime of Truth ¶
Revelation
Revelation is the penultimate book of the Bible. In its pages, we find something that is not a revelation of end times- it's a revelation of Jesus Christ, and in order to study this book it is necessary to study every other book of the Bible. In the end, the culmination of the Biblical narrative is this: Jesus is Coming. In order to fully appreciate the return of Jesus to reign and rule- we must consider the patterns of the Bible, and consider the promises of God. Scripture leads us to the conclusion that we all saw coming- God will be victorious, and every rebel of God will have to come face-to-face with His righteousness.
John
When all other Gospel writers focus on what Jesus said and did, John takes a different approach and tells us what Jesus meant. John is skilled at using symbology, design, and rich imagery. Scholars have divided the Gospel into the Book of Signs and the Book Of Glory. Throughout both, there are 7 I AM statements, 7 miraculous signs, and an up-close view of the Savior's life and ministry that gives it a special place in the Bible.
Kingdom Divided
Good and evil kings. Passionate prophets. Prophecies that shape our modern age.
The Old Testament is full of theologically rich books that both recount and shape history. They also set the stage for the long-awaited Messiah, containing more than 300 prophecies covering His birth, life, death, and resurrection.
People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided will unpack a fascinating period in Israel’s history across 15 books, from its split into two nations, through dozens of kings and prophets and ultimately to the heartbreaking exile into Babylon.
Matthew
The long-awaited Messiah first promised in Genesis surprised everyone. He was not the kind of Savior people were looking for then … or now.
Gentle and compassionate to the marginalized yet bold in confronting religious institutions, Jesus came to make rebels His children. Forging the only path to forgiveness and salvation, Jesus deserved a crown of glory but willingly wore a crown of thorns. His death looked like defeat but brought eternal victory.

We walk through each book chapter by chapter, exploring God’s Word in context. The first 11 chapters of Genesis concern the creation and expansion of the entire human race. The final 39 chapters focus on the family of Abraham (the patriarch of Judaism, Christianity and Islam), and three of his descendants – Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.
Through Abraham and his descendants, the redemption of the world by Jesus Christ and the restoration of all creation will be accomplished.

Luke 17:21 ¶
Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.
