So many of you have been asking about the Making Your Home a Haven study this fall and yes, we are absolutely still doing it!

I’m about to give you a sneak peek! But first…

This week we are finishing the final 4 days of Walking Through the Old Testament.

Before we say goodbye to the Old Testament, let’s sum it all up.

We began the Old Testament with creation, the fall of man, and God’s unfolding plan of redemption. We watched God choose a people for himself, rescue them from slavery, lead them through the wilderness, bring them into the Promised Land, walk with them through judges and kings, discipline them through exile, restore a remnant, and continually call their hearts back to Him through the prophets.

And woven through all of it was one great promise:

A Savior was coming.

The sacrifices pointed to Jesus
The kings pointed to Jesus.
The prophets pointed to Jesus.
The promises pointed to Jesus.

And then the Old Testament closed waiting…waiting for the Messiah…waiting for JESUS!
It all points forward to Jesus. What a faithful God we serve.

Take a moment this week to look back at everything you have learned and celebrate!! You made it through the entire Old Testament! That’s amazing!!! WAY TO GO!!!

And now…

I Have a Little Sneak Peek for You

The 17th Annual Making Your Home a Haven is coming next…
Cue the Confetti

Going Deeper in Prayer: A 4-Week Journey through the Lord’s Prayer
Is available on Amazon NOW!

Beginning October 26th,
for four weeks,
we’ll light our candles,
quiet our homes,
open our Bibles
and let Jesus teach us to pray.
And I’d LOVE for you to join us!

The disciples said to Jesus: “Lord, teach us to pray.” Luke 11:1

Those four words have been on my heart for months! So, we’re going to slow down and study that answer together and go deeper in prayer.

We’ll be slowing down and walking through the prayer Jesus taught His disciples, one phrase at a time.

Thank you so much for joining me for Walking Through the Old Testament!

Let’s finish strong together this week, and then we’ll take a little break (I’m going on a 5 day trip to Colorado with my kids ) before I come back to share all the details for Going Deeper in Prayer.

I just couldn’t wait any longer to let you know what is COMING SOON!!!

Invite your friends!

This is going to be such a meaningful study to do together.

Until then, keep walking with the King!

Welcome back to the 4th Week of Walking through the Old Testament.

We are walking through all 39 books of the Old Testament in 31 Days!

Now this week, we come to the final section of the Old Testament: the Prophets.  And I’ll be honest the prophetic books can feel intimidating.  There are warnings, judgment, exile, strange imagery and messages to nations we may not know much about.

But underneath all of the warnings is the mercy and love of God. The prophets were sent because God loves His people. God was calling them back.

Again and again, the message of the prophets is this: Return to Me. And friend, that message is not just for Israel. It is for us too.

When our hearts drift, God still says, “Return.”

It truly is beautiful!

Join me for Week 4’s video below, as we discuss the 17 Books of the Prophets in under 15 minutes, one by one and see how they foreshadow Jesus in the Old Testament. Then pull out your journals and begin!

Welcome back to Week 3 of Walking through the Old Testament where we are walking through all 39 books of the Old Testament in 31 Days!

This week, we are slowing down and stepping into MY FAVORITES…the Wisdom and Poetry Books!! That’s Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon.

It truly is beautiful!

Over the last two weeks, we have watched the storyline of the Old Testament move forward quickly from creation and the fall, to God choosing a people for Himself, delivering them from slavery, leading them through the wilderness, bringing them into the Promised Land, and walking with them through judges, kings, victories, defeats, exile, and restoration.

But now, the storyline pauses.

And the Wisdom and Poetry Books begin! I LOVE these books! They meet us in the middle of REAL LIFE and we NEED REAL WISDOM – in our suffering, worship, decisions, questions, purpose, relationships, and love.

Join me for Week 3’s video below, as we discuss the Wisdom & Poetry Books of the Bible, one by one and see how they foreshadow Jesus in the Old Testament. Then pull out your journals and begin!

Welcome back to Week 2 of Walking through the Old Testament!

Inside this week’s video, I’ll be covering the Historical Books of the Bible, one by one, as we go from Joshua through Esther.

Just to clarify for those who have asked…we are not reading chapter by chapter through the entire Old Testament in 31 Days (that is an enormous task), but if you watch all 4 videos in this series, in under one hour I will take you through all 39 books of the Old Testament and you will have a clear picture of the entire old testament. It is amazing how it all fits together so beautifully!

CUE THE CONFETTI

It’s time to begin WALKING THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT!

I am SO excited to begin this study together!! If you do not have the optional Journal yet – it’s available on Amazon but it will take a few days to ship – so if you want it right now, the printable/digital version is available at half price —> here and get it right away!

Let’s get started!!! Join me for Week 1’s video below, as we discuss the first five books of the Bible and the foreshadowing of Jesus in the Old Testament…then pull out your journals and begin!

{If you are reading this in an email or feed – click here to view the video}

During these 31 Days together, we will not be reading through all 39 books of the Old Testament. That is an enormous task that takes a lot of time!

Instead, we will be looking at a detailed overview of every single book of the Old Testament so we can get the big picture and by the end of our time together, not only will you fully understand the Old Testament BUT you will also gain the knowledge you need to help you understand the New Testament and the entirety of all of scripture better.

So buckle up!! We are about to take a really exciting journey!
