Why do we get stuck in a rut of our pet topics and feel good preaching? I have since put together a Bible chronological banner and explained more visually the chronology of individuals and occasions. Moses existed 500 years after Abraham and so it is impossible. In our Bible group years ago, a woman who had been a Christian and been involved in the Church for over 15 years, asserted that,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about." (they were not talking about the pre-Moses law) I wonder how many Christians will actually notice the inaccuracy in this claim. It is not difficult to do, and it's not boring if we are ready to put in a bit of effort prayer and fervor, and just perhaps you can use a Bible Timeline too.įor more info about a Bible TimeLine go to our Bible TimeLine Chart site and see the biblical study tool.Preaching Scripture Effectively With A Biblical Timeline Chart Let's us as instructors and preachers sew together the fragments of the Bible and His plan into a logical whole that our people can draw on for the remainder of their lives, to help them to figure out God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to model our lives by. Constantly we are bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a few of them perilously leaning toward Progressive theology, but if we could be taught the fundamental principles of Church history, we then would not be so bound to repeat it. We preach on a text from Exodus and a story about Hezekiah and a topic from the book of Amos and then the example of Moses or the 'water into wine' - parts from here and everyplace, but we do not put it all together in an apparent understandable, simple to remember, perspective with a capable Bible TimeLine and Church History as well. Why do we dwell on our pet topics and feel good sermons? In reality, the more like the world, the less relevant we are to the world. Regrettable it seems, if God's people are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' as long as we are positive and loving to all. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we really love our people this is what we will do.
