Preaching The Bible More Effectively With A Biblical Timeline

In our Sunday Bible group some years ago, a friend who had been a Christian and laboured in the local Church for years, said,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they weren't referring to the pre-mosaic law) I wonder just how many Christians would actually notice the inaccuracy in this assertion. Moses lived five hundred years after Abraham and so it is an impossibility. I have since then compiled a Biblical timeline chart and shown more visually the dating of men and women and occasions.

Some years ago, I was speaking on the life, resurrection, death and burial of Christ Jesus, and a retired pastor and strong preacher of the Bible, who had been a minister for forty years, marched up and reproved me smartly over some interesting 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 preaching anything of a heretical nature at all, to which he answered"No". I continued to explain that in the case of that particular Scripture, it wasn't speaking to exploring the Bible but to the false teaching and school of thought of Gnosticism, but he wouldn't accept it. Let me ask, how can a forty year preacher & worker in the Gospel, not know and understand about a thing that probably 1/2 the books of the New Testament discuss?

How could he study and teach the Bible clearly without being aware of a thing that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to comprehend these things and be able to interpret their Bible well, if they're not informed?

Let's us as tutors and preachers stitch together the fragments of God's Word and God's plan into a logical whole that our people can draw on for the remainder of life, to help them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better translate the Bible to live by.

It is not difficult to do, and it's not boring if we're ready to put in a bit of study and prayer and fervor, and just perhaps you can employ a Bible Timeline as well.
