A Macroscopic Study
of the Bible

Many believers have never read the Bible through. Others try to read it through each year. Many of those who try get behind and eventually drop the effort. For some of them, this is because a daily reading list is daunting, especially as one begins to get behind. This is an opportunity to read the Bible through one week at a time instead of one day at a time. And, if you miss a week, just pick up where you left off.

The purpose of this study is to preach through the Bible in just over one year so that listeners can have a bird's eye view of the message of the whole Bible, as a context for interpreting its various parts. The method of this study is to preach one sermon on each book of the Bible that is a exposition of one text in each book, which text develops or illustrates its theme.

Each sermon, along with the exposition of a specific text, will also include:

  1. A brief introduction to the book: its theme, outline and main characters.
  2. A brief explanation of the historical context of the book and its relation to the books that precede it.

  3. A practical application of the expounded text to the daily lives of our people.


Below, you will find the Books of the Bible. Beside the title of each book, in parantheses, is a word that represents the general theme, subject, or emphasis of that book. Although some of the words are debatable, nevertheless, they can be a simple way of remembering the main point of each book, and are easily memorizable. We have also included a link to each sermon on SermonAudio.com.

History of the Reformation

The Reformation comes alive in this fascinating study of its history.

In these messages, Joe Morecraft covers the most important people and events of the Reformation. Beginning with the Westminster Confession and ending with the lives of many of the Westminster Divines, he covers the Scottish Covenanters, John Calvin, John Knox, Oliver Cromwell as well as some of the Reformation's darkest villains like Bloody Mary and King James I.

This series is a must listen for any serious student of church history as well as those who just love the stories of the faithful men and women who worked, many of them suffering great persecution, to return the Church to faithfulness.
