As part of my teaching for Men’s Fraternity (Mountaintop Church’s Men’s Ministry), I developed two different 8 week journals for teaching and discipleship. The teaching for each week was shared between myself and two other teachers.

It is a journey through the story of Scripture. For each day there is a chapter or two picked out, coupled with a prayer adapted from the Book of Common Prayer (thanks to JP Gilliam!).  This coincided with a blog and weekly teaching.

The purpose of it was to highlight some of the main events throughout Scripture, Creation, fall, flood, the exodus…, and to see recurring themes such as, sin, forgiveness, redemption, and God’s promises. I have found that most people stay away from the Old Testament, and this is a way for them to get their feet wet, within feeling like they are too far over their head.

The second was a 40 day journey through the gospels. The reading was divided up where everyone would read through the gospels in 8 weeks, plus having a focus Scripture in which to think deeper about. Again, thanks to JP Gilliam for helping with the questions under the focus Scripture.
