The first time through, we’re going to do summaries of the various books in Scripture, and then we’ll go back and begin to look at the first chapter of every book of the Bible.īut before we begin that, I want to do some preparatory things that ask the question, “Why do I need to study the Bible? What is the Bible actually about? What will the Bible do for me?” And then when we cover those things, we’ll then launch into the study of the various books of Scripture. We call it “The Gospel: One Chapter At A Time,” where we’re going to trace the redemptive story through every book of the Bible. I think of myself as a Bible teacher, that everything I write about emerges from the study of God's Word.Īnd so I am excited to launch this journey with you. But the thing that really excites me, that gets me up in the morning, that motivates me to do what I do is the Word of God. You probably know me as the person who writes on marriage and parenting and other Christian life issues. (this transcript has been lightly edited for readability)
