Preaching Scripture More Effectively Using A Bible History Timeline
In our Sunday Bible study years ago, a lady who had been a Christian and been involved in the Church for years, asserted that,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they weren't referring to the pre-Moses law) I wonder just how many Christians would actually notice the error in this claim. Moses lived some 500 years after Abraham and so it is not possible. I have since then made up a Biblical history timeline and explained visually the dating of people and events.
Years ago, I was speaking on the death, burial, life and resurrection of Christ Jesus, and a retired minister and strong preacher of the Gospel, who had been in the ministry for 40 years, came up and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he referred to 1Ti 1:4'Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.' I humbly asked him if I was saying anything of a heretical nature at all, to which he said"No". I continued to explain that in the case of that particular Scripture, it was not speaking to examining Scripture but to the false teaching and philosophy of the Gnostics, but he would not accept it. Let me ask, how can a 40 year minister & worker in the Gospel, not know and understand about something that probably 1/2 the books of the New Testament discuss?
How could he study and preach the Bible fully without knowing about something that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to understand these things and be in a position to interpret their Bible well, if they are not told?
Let's us as teachers and preachers sew together the fragments of the Bible and His plan into a complete picture that our people are able to draw on for the rest of their lives, to help them to understand God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to model our lives by.
It is not hard to do, and it's not boring if we're prepared to put in a bit of study with prayer and fervor, and just perhaps you can use a Bible Timeline too.
