Old Testament Timeline Genesis To Malachi

A Bible Timeline Chart Gives A Creative Mode To Help Teach Bible Characters And Events And Principles

Alas, a large number of Pastors and teachers in our churches go on and preach shallow, superficial, light weight, flimsy sermons and their members scarcely grow in biblical knowledge and understanding. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we love people this is what we'll do. Unfortunate it seems, if God's men and women are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' so long as we're positive and loving to all. Truly, the more relevant we become to our world, the less relevant we're to our world.

Some time ago, I was preaching on the resurrection, burial, life and death of Jesus, and a retired minister and powerful preacher of the Bible, who had been a minister for 40 years, came to me 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 quietly asked him if I was teaching anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he replied"No". I continued to explain that in the case of that particular verse, it wasn't speaking to exploring Scripture but to the false teachings and school of thought of Gnosticism, but he wouldn't accept it. Let me ask, how can a 40 year minister & worker in the Gospel, not know and understand about a thing that probably half the books of the New Testament refer to?

How could he understand and preach the Bible clearly without being familiar with a thing that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to figure out these things and be able to interpret their Bible effectively, if they are not told?

Let's us as teachers and preachers sew together the fragments of God's Word and God's plan into a seamless tapestry that our people can draw on for the rest of their lives, to help them to figure out God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better translate the Bible to model our lives by.

It's 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 as well.
