Bible in a Year 2017

Pastor Rick

Hebrews 1-6

Posted on Dec 21, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

Although it’s one continuous thought, Paul highlights several different roles of Christ in today’s reading. Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer, Father and High Priest.

1 Peter 1-5

Posted on Dec 20, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

The quick read through 1 Peter leaves me with the impression that the people of Turkey were being persecuted, or asked to suffer in some way.

Titus 1-3

Posted on Dec 19, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

I have witnessed Pastors resigning their position in the church based on what this letter contains. Should they have done that? You decide.

1 Timothy 1-6

Posted on Dec 18, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

It’s not hard to read the Bible in a year if you simply read one book a day….wow. Six whole chapters in one day. Okay, here we go….

Philippians 1-4

Posted on Dec 17, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

Toward the end of the letter Paul asks a particular person to help him bring harmony back to the church by repairing a relationship between two women. I wonder how many churches have been crippled or killed because the devil used this same attack on them?

Ephesians 1-6

Posted on Dec 16, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

As I have often said this year, one blog entry won’t scratch the surface of what’s contained in Ephesians. I think I’ll just make some notes as I read. Maybe if I ever look back at this again, I’ll be able to remember what caught my attention that day.

Colossians 1-4, Philemon 1

Posted on Dec 15, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

Just found this out in my study today…. within 10 years of the time that Paul wrote these letters (possibly less than 5 years) there was a huge earthquake in Turkey that wiped out Colossae, Laodicea and Hierapolis (another nearby town). It’s very likely that Philemon died in this tragedy, along with other Christians. The towns were never rebuilt.

Acts 27-28

Posted on Dec 14, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

The last two chapters in Acts we learn that Paul travels to Rome after a dangerous sailing adventure, and then spends two years ministering out of his private apartment in Rome. It doesn’t sound much like prison…more like house arrest.

Acts 24-26

Posted on Dec 13, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

As Paul is on trial at several different locations the case is delayed for a ridiculous amount of time. It would appear that justice has been shortchanged and Paul is the victim of politics. That is, until you consider that this is exactly how Jesus wanted it to play out.

Acts 20-23

Posted on Dec 12, 2017 in Bible in a Year |

It’s only one line, and it really doesn’t add anything to our doctrine….but I hadn’t seen it before and somehow knowing it made me feel closer to the story.
