In the beginning...

"God desires all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth" - 1 Tim. 2:4

Recently, the church in Sydney finished its year-long program of reading through the entire New Testament, including all the footnotes from the Recovery Version. So now we are going to repeat the exercise, except this time taking two years to read through the New Testament.

By taking twice as long, we should have more time to get into the study of the Word, particularly using the Life-Study of the Bible to unlock the riches of God's revelation. I found that it was sometimes quite hard to keep up with the one-year schedule, but so far (less than a week!) it's been much easier.

So for the next two years, I am going to endeavour to be faithful and diligent to study the New Testament, each week blogging about what I enjoyed. Please pray for all the brothers and sisters, that through their labour they would gain not just knowledge of the Lord, but also richer experiences of Him through His Word.

Hi David I enjoyed reading your study notes. The star shows us the city the living Spirit reveals the street and house. What a glorious God-man we see in Christ.
