Scripture Paths Old Testament Bible Studies
As a young mom with a brand new little one, I needed the routine and discipline of writing and teaching a Bible study to keep me in the Word. Learning to study well and handle the Scriptures accurately spurred me on to train other women how to study God's Word too. Year after year since those early baby years, I've written or rewritten a study on a book of the Bible. Every study has been life-changing. There's nothing quite like interacting with the Scriptures and digging in to find God's treasures!
Within every Scripture Paths Bible study, I try to tailor my questions so you too have the joy of discovery--the same joy I had when I was putting the study together. These studies aren't difficult, though you'll find your mind engaged and your heart challenged as you interact with God's Word. It's amazing to consider that God makes His Word accessible to His children. And as Charles Spurgeon says above, "There are treasures upon the surface of the Word" and there are treasures to be mined by digging into the Scriptures. I want to teach you, encourage you, and help you dig more deeply into the Bible so your life will never be the same. It's the Word of God that changes us, building in us a greater understanding of God's character, His Ways, and His will for us. And that conviction is what keeps me going back to the Word of God—I don't want to stay the same! No believer does. We want to grow and change more into the image of Christ, and studying the Bible is one of the means God uses to effect that change.

Exodus is a story about leaving an old life and entering into a new one. In it the nation of Israel learns how to walk well with their holy, delivering, providing God. The Israelites’ haven’t yet arrived in the Promised Land; they haven’t even made it through to the end of the 40 years in the wilderness. Exodus is a story of preparation as God teaches and trains them for the days ahead. That same God is at work in your life—in your transitions, in your relationship with Him, as you navigate an incomplete story trusting the One who leads you.
