Preaching Through The NT Effectively Using A Bible Timeline
In our weekly Bible study years ago, somebody, who had been a Christian and been involved in the Church for many years, made this statement,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not referring to the pre-Moses law) I wonder just how many Christians will actually notice the error in this assertion. Moses existed 500 years after Abraham and so it is impossible. I have since compiled a Biblical chronological banner and explained graphically the time period of men and women and occasions.
Some time ago, I was speaking on the resurrection, life, burial and death of Jesus Christ, and a retired minister and powerful preacher of Scripture, who had been a pastor for 40 years, came to me and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he remarked 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 had been saying anything of a heretical nature at all, to which he answered"No". I continued to explain that in the case of that particular verse, it was not speaking to examining Scripture but to the false teachings and philosophy of Gnosticism, but he would not have it. So, how can a 40 year preacher & laborer in the Gospel, not understand and know about a thing that possibly 1/2 the books of the New Testament relate to?
How can he understand and preach the Bible fully without being familiar with a thing 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 properly, if they're not told?
Let's us as teachers and preachers stitch together the aspects of God's Word and God's plan into a seamless tapestry that our people can draw on for the remainder of their lives, helping them to understand God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better translate the Bible to model our lives by.
It's not difficult to do, and it's not boring if we are ready to put in a bit of study with prayer and fervor, and just maybe you can use a Bible Timeline also.
