Month 1, Days 1 through 7 of the Navigators Bible Reading Plan

• OT:
  • Genesis 1-20
  • Psalms 1-7
• NT:
  • Matthew 1:1 - 4:11
  • Acts 1:1 - 4:37

• Allen and Jeramie explore the foundational themes of Scripture, focusing on the promise of redemption through Jesus Christ as seen in the Old and New Testaments. They explore the significance of Genesis, particularly the narrative of creation, the fall, and the covenants made with figures like Abraham. The discussion highlights how these themes are woven throughout the Bible, culminating in the New Testament with the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew, which connects Him to the promises made to Abraham and David. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding these connections to grasp the overarching narrative of God's plan for humanity.

• As they transition into the Book of Acts, they discuss how the early church began to fulfill the Great Commission, spreading the gospel to all nations. The conversation underscores the role of the local church as an embassy of God's kingdom, where believers are called to live out their faith and share the good news. Jeramie and Allen encourage listeners to engage with Scripture actively, recognizing the continuity of God's promises and the unfolding story of redemption that continues today.
