Teaching Through The OT Effectively Using A Biblical Timeline Banner
In a Bible class some years ago, a woman who had been a Christian and been involved in the Church for many years, asserted that,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not talking about the pre-Moses law) I wonder how many Christians will actually notice the error in this assertion. Moses came about some 500 years after Abraham and so it is impossible. I have since then put together a Biblical timeline and shown visually the time period of men and women and events.
Why do we get stuck in a rut of our favorite topics and sugar coated sermons?
We preach on a text from 2 Kings and a passage about Noah and a theme from the book of Nehemiah and then the example of Peter or the humility of Moses - parts from here and all over, but we do not put it all at once in an evident understandable, easy to remember, perspective with a capable Bible TimeLine including Church History as well. Constantly we are bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, some of them perilously edging toward Progressive thinking, when if we could be coached the basic principles of Church history, we then wouldn't be so bound to do the same again.
Let's us as instructors and preachers stitch together the fragments of God's Word and His plan into a complete picture that our people are able to draw on for the remainder of life, helping them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and how to better interpret the Bible to model our lives by.
It's not hard to do, and it is not boring if we are ready to put in a bit of effort prayer and fervor, and just perhaps you can utilize a Bible Timeline too.
