This year we’re reading through the Old Testament historical books together!

Sometimes the Old Testament can feel a little disorienting, so as you read, our encouragement is to look for these three things:

1. Jesus concealed - The whole Bible is about Jesus and how the grace He brought was needed, released, and can be received.
2. God’s heart - God’s heart is always for people. In the midst of every chapter throughout the Old Testament, look for how God’s heart is positioned toward loving humanity.
3. God’s goodness - God is good, but it can be easy to take our eyes off of God’s goodness and look at how people are missing the mark. If we focus on God’s goodness, we get a clearer perspective as we read. So, may we look for Jesus concealed, God’s heart, and God’s goodness as we read together this year.

We start reading the Book of Judges on Monday, June 9.
