Part One

DIVE - consecration & covenant |katie haldane

As you journey through Genesis and Exodus, have you noticed the language that is used for the Israelites’ relationship with God? Language is really important in the Bible and once we start to recognise the way it is used it will bring our Bible reading to a whole new level.

DEEP DIVE - Consecration & Monotheism | Katie haldane

As we venture into Exodus, I want to explain the term ‘monotheism’, which might help you understand not only the Israelite community but God’s call for consecration and Jesus’ single-mindedness when it came to other religions and gods.

Part Two

DIVE - holy distinction | katie haldane

Have you noticed God's holy protection over the Israelites throughout the Book of Exodus? It begins even before the Red Sea, where He protects them from the Egyptian chariots. Throughout the plagues, there are these obscure sentences that are easily missed, so let me take you back and show you the thread of ‘holy protection’ over the Hebrews throughout the Book of Exodus.

DEEP DIVE - The Ten Commandments: What to do with them today? | ryan kerrison

How incredible would it have been to see a mountain shaking?! Or in the Hebrew, ‘Käl-hä här m'od’ (the whole mountain trembled exceedingly). Hyperbole or not, the image conjured in this narrative recount is awe-inspiring! This is what is written in Exodus 19:18. The author is describing a literal interpretation of the presence of God, inhabiting Mount Sanai, right before He imparts the Ten Commandments and additional laws to Moses, Aaron, and the nation of Israel in Chapter 20.

Part Three

DIVE - jesus our tabernacle | katie haldane

Want to know the great thing about reading the Old Testament at this end of history’s timeline? You can see the patterns and things that point to Jesus all the way through the books. As you journey through the Old Testament, circle things in your Bibles that you can see pointing the way or reminding you of Jesus; traits of certain people like Joseph, Moses the humble leader, David the king, verses like Genesis 3:15 (who is the ‘he’ that will crush the head of Satan?).

deep dive - Christology in the Old Testament | katie haldane

As we venture through the Bible, some might find it odd that we are introducing the study of Christ (Christology) here in the Old Testament. Isn’t the first appearance of Jesus found in the New Testament? To this question, I would say ‘Maybe’! Some theologians believe that Jesus appeared as an Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament, whether true or not we can say without a doubt that He is from beginning to end, He is the Alpha and Omega.

Part Four

DIVE - moses: seeKing god's presence | katie haldane

In Exodus, we watch the development of an incredible leader: Moses. Have you enjoyed getting to read the real story rather than just watching the movie or remembering from Sunday school?

deep dive - the names of god | ruben michael els

Throughout the Bible and more specifically through the Old Testament, we see that names held specific meaning and weren’t just a means of identification, but held significance as to the character or nature of the individual as well. Names were more descriptive and we tend to find this not only in the names of people but of places as well.
