Diving deeper; Studying Scripture by Book series
Studying Scripture by Book series
Sermon by book series
● Go here then type in or find "John", then filter to series, select Vol 1 and go from there.
○ Follow in order of the chapter and verse, and the year.
•If theres one from 2023 and one from 1975, continue with 2023 one, and if you want, next week play the 1975 audio anyway too.
○For John there's 126+ teachings in the Gospel series.
●For the below books you can pull up just the playlist on YouTube from GTY since theyre loaded there. But the rest are at the website, which is fine.

I recommend:
John, Romans, Ephesians, Galatians, 1st John, Colossians, and then Mark (as it is a quick summary reminder).
The order is a solid progression for studying the New Testament, especially considering both theological depth and practical application.
1. John
- **Focus**: Emphasizes the nature of Christ and is rich in theology about His divinity and love.
- **Foundation**: Establishes a strong foundation concerning who Jesus is.
2. Romans
- **Focus**: Contains a comprehensive theological treatise on sin, salvation, grace, and faith.
- **Importance**: Deepens understanding of justification and righteousness, crucial for Christian belief.
3. 1st John
1st John emphasizes the importance of knowing and assuring believers of their salvation, aligning with Romans' exploration of justification by faith. It reinforces the transformative effects of grace discussed in Romans.
Both Romans and 1 John tackle the nature of love—Romans focuses on God's love and how we are to live out that love in community. 1 John expands on this, defining love as central to the Christian faith, which can deepen understanding after grappling with the heavy themes in Romans.
4. Ephesians
- **Focus**: Explores themes of grace, the church, and Christian living.
- **Connection**: Builds on the doctrinal teachings from Romans and applies them practically.
5. Galatians
- **Focus**: Addresses issues of legalism and emphasizes justification by faith.
- **Reinforcement**: Acts as a critical commentary on how grace is misunderstood and misapplied.
6. Colossians
- **Focus**: Highlights the supremacy of Christ and practical implications for living out faith.
- **Summation**: Wraps up themes from the previous letters, focusing on Christ's authority.
7. Mark
Focus: A fast-paced account of Jesus' ministry, miracles, and the use of parables.
Benefit:
Narrative Style: Provides a different perspective as a Gospel that highlights Jesus’ actions and teachings in a straightforward manner.
Complement: Acts as a bridge back to understanding Jesus' life in light of the theological foundations laid in the previous books.
○It also addresses the missing "ending".
This sequence allows for a systematic understanding of core Christian doctrines while progressively moving towards practical application in daily life.

Once you complete that, you could go through Genesis, at least Chapters 1 to 11. 😊
Genesis (42)
This series covers foundational topics of Scripture... such as creation, the fall, the promised Messiah, marriage design, sin, death, the flood, and the call to go forth into the world & multiply, and sets up the Biblical worldview. Providing deep theological insights and practical applications. And points to all the key problems in our nation & in today's world for lack of following what chapters 1-11 contain.
And when done with that... go through the New Testament series'.
And after that, go through the OT ones covered, as they point to Jesus as Messiah, prophecies and much more.
God bless!!
