The Holy Bible
Scriptures by definition are the sacred writings of
Christianity that are found in the Holy Bible.
We believe it's the inspired word of God,
and these words continue to guide us today.
The Bible has a lot to say about itself.
That's right, the Word of God has many unique
metaphors that are used. It is known as a sword that
pierces, a mirror that reveals, milk that nourishes, a
lamp that shines, a fire that consumes and so many
others.
Join us as we share some of our favorite verses,
stories and moments in scripture in the new series–
Passages.

Books of the Bible
Genesis
Genesis speaks of beginnings and is foundational to the
- understanding of the rest of the Bible. It is
supremely a book that
- speaks about relationships, highlighting those between God and his
- creation, between God and humankind, and between human
- beings.
-
Exodus
Exodus describes the history of the Israelites leaving Egypt after
- slavery. The book lays a foundational
theology in which God
- reveals his name, his attributes, his redemption, his law and how he
- is to be worshiped.
-
Leviticus
Leviticus receives its name from the Septuagint (the pre-Christian- Greek translation of the Old Testament) and means "concerning the
- Levites" (the priests of Israel). It serves as a manual of regulations
- enabling the holy King to set up his earthly
throne among the
- people of his kingdom. It explains how they are to be
his holy
- people and to worship him in a holy manner.
-
Numbers
Numbers relates the story of Israel's journey from Mount Sinai to the- plains of Moab on the border of Canaan.
The book tells of the
- murmuring and rebellion of God's people and of their subsequent
- judgment.
-
Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy ("repetition of the Law") serves as a reminder to- God's people about His covenant. The book is a
"pause" before
- Joshua's conquest begins and a reminder of what God required.
-
Joshua
Joshua is a story of conquest and fulfillment for the people of God.- After many years of slavery in Egypt and 40 years in the desert, the
- Israelites were finally allowed to enter
the land promised to their
- fathers.
-
Judges
The book of Judges depicts the life of Israel in the Promised Land—- from the death of Joshua to the rise of the
monarchy. It tells of
- urgent appeals to God in times of crisis and
apostasy, moving the
- Lord to raise up leaders (judges) through whom He
throws off
- foreign oppressors and restores the land to peace.
-
Ruth
The book of Ruth has been called one of the best examples of short- narrative ever written. It presents an account of the remnant of true
- faith and piety in the period of the
judges through the fall and
- restoration of Naomi and her daughter-in-law
Ruth (an ancestor of
- King David and Jesus).
-
1 Samuel
Samuel relates God's establishment of a political system in Israel- headed by a human king. Through Samuel's life, we see the rise of
- the monarchy and the tragedy of its first king, Saul.
-
2 Samuel
After the failure of King Saul, 2 Samuel depicts David as a true- (though imperfect) representative of the ideal theocratic king. Under
- David's rule the Lord caused the nation to
prosper, to defeat its
- enemies, and to realize the fulfillment of His promises.
-
1 Kings
1 Kings continues the account of the monarchy in Israel and God's- involvement through the prophets. After
David, his son Solomon
- ascends the throne of a united kingdom, but this
unity only lasts
- during his reign. The book explores how each subsequent king in
- Israel and Judah answers God's call—or, as often happens, fails to
- listen.
-
2 Kings
2 Kings carries the historical account of Judah and Israel forward.- The kings of each nation are judged in light of their obedience to the
- covenant with God. Ultimately, the people of both nations are exiled
- for disobedience.
-
1 Chronicles
Just as the author of Kings had organized and interpreted Israel's- history to address the needs of the
exiled community, so the writer
- of 1 Chronicles wrote for the restored community another history.
-
2 Chronicles
- 2 Chronicles continues the account of Israel's history with an eye for
- restoration of those who had returned from exile.
-
Ezra
The book of Ezra relates how God's covenant people were restored- from Babylonian exile to the covenant land
as a theocratic
- (kingdom of God) community even while continuing under
foreign
- rule.
-
Nehemiah
Closely related to the book of Ezra, Nehemiah chronicles the return- of this "cupbearer to the king" and the challenges he and the other
- Israelites face in their restored homeland.

Esther

Jewish girl who becomes queen
- of Persia and saves her people from destruction.
-
Job
Through a series of monologues, the book of Job relates the- account of a righteous man who suffers under
terrible
- circumstances. The book's profound insights, its literary
structures,
- and the quality of its rhetoric display the author's genius.
Psalms
The Psalms are collected songs and poems that represent- centuries worth of praises and prayers to God on a
number of
- themes and circumstances. The Psalms are impassioned, vivid and
- concrete; they are rich in images, in simile and metaphor.
-
Proverbs
Proverbs was written to give "prudence to the simple, knowledge- and discretion to the young," and to make the
wise even wiser. The
- frequent references to "my son(s)" emphasize instructing the young
- and guiding them in a way of life that yields rewarding results.
-
Ecclesiastes
The author of Ecclesiastes puts his powers of wisdom to work to- examine the human experience and assess the human situation
- . His perspective is limited to what happens "under the sun" (as is
- that of all human teachers).
-
Song of Songs
In ancient Israel everything human came to expression in words:- reverence, gratitude, anger, sorrow,
suffering, trust, friendship,
- commitment. In the Song of Solomon, it is love that finds words–
- inspired words that disclose its exquisite charm
and beauty as one
- of God's choicest gifts.
-
Isaiah
-
Isaiah son of Amoz is often thought of
as the greatest of the writing
- prophets. His name means "The Lord saves." Isaiah is a book that
- unveils the full dimensions of God's judgment and salvation.
-
Jeremiah
This book preserves an account of the prophetic ministry of- Jeremiah, whose personal life and struggles are
shown to us in
- greater depth and detail than those of any other Old
Testament
- prophet.
-
Lamentations
Lamentations consists of a series of poetic and powerful laments- over the destruction of Jerusalem (the royal
city of the Lord's
- kingdom) in 586 B.C.
-
Ezekiel
The Old Testament in general and the prophets in particular- presuppose and teach God's sovereignty over all
creation and the
- course of history. And nowhere in the Bible are God's initiative and
- control expressed more clearly and pervasively than in
the book of
- the prophet Ezekiel.
-
Daniel
Daniel captures the major events in the life of the prophet Daniel- during Israel's exile. His life and
visions point to God's plans of
- redemption and sovereign control of history.
-
Hosea
The prophet Hosea son of Beeri lived in the tragic final days of the- northern kingdom. His life served as a parable of God's faithfulness
- to an unfaithful Israel.
-
Joel
The prophet Joel warned the people of Judah about God's coming- judgment—and the coming restoration and
blessing that will come
- through repentance.
-
Amos
Amos prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah over Judah (792-740- B.C.) and Jeroboam II over Israel (793-753).
-
Obadiah
The prophet Obadiah warned the proud people of Edom about the- impending judgment coming upon them.
-
Jonah
Jonah is unusual as a prophetic book in that it is a narrative account- of Jonah's mission to the city of
Nineveh, his resistance, his
- imprisonment in a great fish, his visit to the city, and the subsequent
- outcome.
Micah
Micah prophesied sometime between 750 and 686 B.C. during the- reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Israel was
- in an apostate condition. Micah predicted the fall of her capital,
- Samaria, and also foretold the inevitable desolation of Judah.
-
Nahum
The book contains the "vision of Nahum," whose name means- "comfort." The focal point of the entire book is the Lord's judgment
- on Nineveh for her oppression, cruelty, idolatry, and wickedness.
-
Habakkuk
Little is known about Habakkuk except that he was a contemporary- of Jeremiah and a man of vigorous faith. The
book bearing his
- name contains a dialogue between the prophet and God concerning
- injustice and suffering.
-
Zephaniah
The prophet Zephaniah was evidently a person of considerable- social standing in Judah and was probably related to the royal line.
- The intent of the author was to announce to Judah
God's
- approaching judgment.
-
Haggai
Haggai was a prophet who, along with Zechariah, encouraged the- returned exiles to rebuild the temple. His
prophecies clearly show
- the consequences of disobedience. When the people give priority to
- God and his house, they are blessed.
-
Zechariah
Like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, Zechariah was not only a prophet, but- also a member of a priestly family. The chief purpose of Zechariah
- (and Haggai) was to rebuke the people of Judah and to encourage
- and motivate them to complete the rebuilding of the temple.
-
Malachi
-
Malachi, whose name means "my
messenger," spoke to the
- Israelites after their return from exile. The
theological message of
- the book can be summed up in one sentence: The
Great King will
- come not only to judge his people, but also to bless and restore
- them.
