Bible Study Series
A chronological journey through Scripture in 16 studies — from Genesis to Acts. By Jackie Oesch.
God's Plan, Our Choice
God's desire for an intimate relationship with humankind was foiled by Satan's deceit and the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Genesis is our story — the epic drama of God's intervention and boundless love.
God's Promise, Our Blessing
Abraham's story begins with the call of God to go and continues with the promise of God to bless him and his descendants. Discover God's blessing in your life as one He dearly loves.
God's Faithfulness, Our Hope
Favoritism and deceit plague Isaac's family. In spite of all that goes wrong, God remains faithful to the covenant promise He made with Abraham.
God's Forgiveness, Our Freedom
Joseph lived liberated to forgive even though he was mistreated by his brothers and unjustly thrown into prison. God used their evil treatment to accomplish His righteous purposes.
God's Call, Our Deliverance — Pt. 1
God delivered His people from the tyranny of Egypt. He called Moses to be His appointed deliverer. Discover His passion to deliver all humanity from bondage.
God's Call, Our Deliverance — Pt. 2
The cycle of Israel's life: obedience then disobedience, God's punishment and their repentance. God's faithfulness continued to be tested but His commitment never wavered.
God's Presence, Our Victory
The time came for Israel to take possession of their inheritance. When the Ark of the Covenant moved out, the people followed.
God's Will, Our Way
Ruth loved the God of Israel. Samuel served the Lord. The people insisted on having a king — and Saul was anointed, though they rejected God and chose to rebel.
God's Mercy, Our Salvation
The life of David as shepherd and king, the decline of Solomon's reign, and the voices of Elijah and Elisha — all give witness to God's unfailing love.
God's Righteousness, Our Redemption
Jonah, Daniel, Queen Esther — examples of God's activity even in oppressive captivity. Ezra and Nehemiah give the account of Israel's return to Jerusalem.
God's Son, Our Savior
God's mission throughout history has been calling all humankind back. His only Son, our Champion, comes as a Baby and lives among us — the promised Messiah.
God's Search, Our Mission
Jesus changed lives! Three biblical characters give witness as He brings Good News to three unlikely candidates for the Kingdom. He told parables that taught truths about the Kingdom of God.
God's Love, Our Life — Pt. 1
The Father's story of His Son's suffering and death. Jesus' ride into Jerusalem, the betrayal of Judas, His arrest, trial, and crucifixion. He was innocent, the sinless Son of God.
God's Love, Our Life — Pt. 2
Visit the tomb on Easter. Walk the road to Emmaus. Watch Jesus ascend and hear Him declare His mission — which has now become yours and mine.
God's Spirit, Our Power — Pt. 1
The early church set out to go and make disciples. God's Holy Spirit was now at work in Peter, the Christian community, Stephen, and Philip. This same Spirit is active in our lives.
God's Spirit, Our Power — Pt. 2
The one who once persecuted the Church now was the one persecuted. Yet Paul's faith remained strong and he persevered to the end. The Good News was intended for both Jews and Gentiles.
