  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Have you ever wondered how all of the events of the Bible fit together? We often find ourselves looking at one book, or even one Testament as its own standalone story... but while there are several writers throughout Scripture, there is only ONE Author. God breathed the entirety of Scripture and through each writer, event, and account portrays a seamless story. Come alongside us each week as we seek to provide context, connections, applications, and themes for weekly readings. The reading plan works through around 5 chapters a day for five days a week, finishing the entire Bible in one year.

    Week 52: Revelation

    This week marks the end of the 52 week journey as readers will finish the book of Revelation and the entire Bible. Unlike other books of the Bible, this book contains multiple genre elements in it: epistle, prophetic and apocalyptic. Unsurprisingly, we find that this book is the culmination of all the other books, the narrative of scripture, as well as the climax of all biblical themes. Join in on this final episode with Brent and Trent as they discuss how the seed of the woman, seed of the serpent, the dwelling place of God, the messiah-deliverer, and the people of God find their eternal destiny in the book of Revelation.  For a PDF of the entire reading plan, click HERE For the song"Christ The True and Better" by Matt Papa and Matt Boswell, click HERE Got questions?

    Week 51: 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude

    In the second to last week of reading in the New Testament, readers will begin to see the reoccurring Old Testament themes from Exodus, Leviticus, and even events from Kings and Chronicles. As these books lead up to a book of Revelation, their themes begin to preview the last major theme in the Bible: the return of Christ. As churches in the 1st century experienced a rise of persecution and false teaching, these epistles exhort their listeners to live honorable lives as they await the second appearance of the Savior originally promised in Genesis 3:15 to deliver a final death blow to sin.  For a PDF of the entire reading plan, click HERE For Linworth Baptist's Summer 2022 Sermon on 2 John, click HERE For Linworth Baptist's Summer 2022 Sermon on 3 John, click HERE For Linworth Baptist's Summer 2022 Sermon on Jude, click HERE Got questions?

    Week 50: Hebrews, James

    After a series of epistles in the New Testament that have a strong emphasis on New Covenant community and New Covenant living, the book of Hebrews detours readers into a book that interprets major themes in the Old Testament: temple, priest, sacrifice, covenant, and many more. In this book, Christ is offered as the ultimate fulfillment of what the Old Testament foreshadowed. As readers navigate this book they will begin to see how the Old Testament illuminates our understanding of the New. This book is followed by James which has some of the strongest language around works and faith. Although James does not argue that good works save the Christian, he argues that the Christian is saved to a life of good works.  For a PDF of the entire reading plan, click HERE For Linworth Baptist's sermon series in Hebrews, click HERE For Linworth Baptist's sermon series in James, click HERE Got questions?

    Week 49: 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon

    After last week's reading about the presence of God today dwelling in the church, readers this week will be unveiled to a dwelling place of God yet to occur: the return of Christ. While this week's reading is a combination of Paul's general, pastoral and personal epistles, one dominant theme in these books is the return of Christ and signs of His eminence. Join Brent and Trent this week as they discuss how these books of the Bible fit into the larger narrative of scripture and apply to the Christian's daily life today.

    Week 48: Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians

    As readers continue to study through the Pauline epistles, it is likely that a repetition of themes will seem to appear: a proper defense of the gospel, warning against false teaching and a strong emphasis to love one another. This week, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians all pick up on those themes with their own geographical and historical contexts. In Galatia, Paul challenges the false teaching of works based salvation. In Ephesus, Paul reminds the the church of God's sovereign plan to unite Jews and Gentiles in one body. In Philippians, Paul writes with a hardship-enduring joy of the humility of Christ. In Colossians, Paul speaks of the preeminence of Christ, including his authority over asceticism. Join Brent and Trent in this episode as they discuss some of the New Testament's interpretation of the Old Testament, including the coming (again!) Messiah and dwelling place of God.  Fact Verified: Steph Curry was in his Senior year at Davidson when Trent was in 6th grade.  For a PDF of the entire reading plan, click HERE Got questions?

    Week 47: 1 Corinthians 9-16, 2 Corinthians

    This week readers will pick up from last week's reading assignment, finishing both Corinthian letters. While the second half of 1 Corinthians spends time addressing some of the challenges going on in Corinth at the time of the writing, in 2 Corinthians Paul addresses a new topic of discussion: the credibility of his ministry. As false teachers crept into Corinth after the time of receiving 1 Corinthians, many in Corinth were subject to false teaching and began to question Paul's integrity as an apostle. In this podcast episode, join Brent and Trent as they discuss the various themes picked up in these two books: spiritual gifts, financial stewardship, the resurrection, and much more.

    Week 46: Romans, 1 Corinthians 1-8

    As we finish the narrative like accounts in the gospels and Acts, this week readers will begin a new section of biblical literature: the epistles. This section of scripture makes up the letters written to the churches and church leaders documented in the book of Acts. Although Paul had never been to Rome at the time of his writing, Acts 18 provides context to both letters that will be read in the upcoming week. While Romans provides some of the richest biblical theology connecting to the very beginning of the Bible, 1 Corinthians provides a pastoral exhortation to a church that has some issues dividing the church. Listen to Brent and Trent discuss God's plan for Jew/Gentile relationships in the church, how Christians should behave in areas that scripture isn't explicitly clear, and much more.  For a PDF of the entire reading plan, click HERE For Linworth Baptist Sermon Series on 1 Corinthians, click HERE Got questions?

    Week 45: Acts

    As readers finish through the four gospel accounts of Jesus life, death and resurrection, they are immediately exposed to the historical narrative of the church in Jerusalem. In response to Jesus's concluding command to "make disciples of all nations", through the help of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, the apostles and early church do just that. Join Brent and Trent as they discuss how the cross of Christ impacts the story of the people of God, including the dependence on the Holy Spirit, the inclusion of gentiles, and importance of a word-centered ministry.  For a PDF of the entire reading plan, click HERE For Linworth Baptist Sermon Series on Acts, click HERE Got questions?
