Daily Bible Reading - October 2020: God’s Life-Giving Word of Justice and Peace

This Bible reading plan provides some insights from the book of Isaiah. Rather than a sequential journey through the songs, prophecies, and accounts that make up this book that spans a time-frame of about 220 years, we're going to jump around and pick up some of the beautiful promises and challenges in it. I'll provide the historical context where it's needed. 

Insights From Isaiah

Join author Andy Hawthorne as he looks at the beginning of Isaiah 6 in a new way. See what we can learn about who God is, by looking at how God appeared to Isaiah.

Here I Am

Have you ever tired of waiting for God and taken things into your own hands? Have you ignored wisdom and truth in favor of quick, easy solutions? In Isaiah 30, the nation of Israel did just that. Join Nkosinathi Mbuyazi for this five-day plan exploring God’s call to His people, and to us, to return to Him, and discover all that’s promised if we accept this remarkable invitation. 

The Return

Have you ever wished for a Bible study that could take you beyond surface-level reading? If so, get ready for our journey through Isaiah & Micah! You'll get to immerse yourself in Scripture (by looking at key terms and ideas), explore what's behind it (by learning historical-cultural background), and also discover its impact by considering its implications, not only for you, but for the global church. Let's dive in!

Journey Through Isaiah & Micah

 This study from Isaiah 40-55 explores our identity as people affected by trauma but living in hope. In the exile, God’s nation had to find new life when their old life had been completely overturned and destroyed. Similarly, we now find ourselves trying to “return to normal” in the aftermath of a global pandemic. Yet, God can take any crisis and convert it for his glory and our growth.


Crisis Converted

In this 18th installment of Reading with the People of God, we follow a lectionary rhythm of Old Testament, New Testament, and Psalms. This plan journeys through Isaiah 40–66, where God speaks comfort, reveals His Servant, and promises new creation. Alongside Isaiah, we read Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, and 1and 2 Peter—letters that call us to endurance, holiness, and hope in Christ. Together these readings point us to the living hope we have through the gospel. May the Spirit strengthen our faith and anchor us in God’s everlasting promises.

LIVING HOPE - Reading With the People of God: Part 18

Isaiah 40 is a pocketful of comfort for a languishing people. It’s served up in two courses: messages to renew hope and questions to reorientate worship. Main course–God’s good news; dessert: God’s glory. It wasn’t just Israel that was languishing; we all need this kind of nourishment to worship well.
