Welcome to the Old Testament Bible Journey. This journey will walk you through the meta-narrative of the Old Testament. 250 chapters have been selected that will provide you a flyover view of the Old Testament. In addition, this journey walks through the Old Testament in chronological order. Our English Bibles have organized the books according to genre (history, prophets, wisdom literature) rather than in the order in which they occurred. For instance, you can expect to read some Psalms and prophets as you read the book of Kings. So, grab a pen and journal, find a quiet spot to read or listen to the text and join the journey. Click on the “Start Here” link for some helpful information as you begin the journey.
The Weekly Format
• Scripture Reading: 5 chapters a week; 1 chapter a day Monday-Friday. The Bible text is provided from the English Standard Version (ESV). If you follow along on the OC App, there is an option to listen to the text being read as well.
• Weekend Catch Up: Saturdays are provided as a day to catch up on your reading and/or to spend time reflecting on what you read with the goal of life application. Sunday is a time to join us in worship in-person or online.
• Podcast: Each Monday a new podcast (9-12 minutes) is provided that sheds light on the Scripture being read that week.
• Question Sheet: Each Monday a list of questions (2 for each chapter) will be provided for the purpose of helping you understand the focus and direction of the text.
