Greg R. Taylor's books on Goodreads
Chris Altrock is a frequent guest writer on The Journey blog and is a spiritual director, the author of seven books, a father to Jordan and Jacob, a husband to Kendra, and has preached for the Highland Church of Christ since 1998. Today Chris writes about Genesis 4 and what Charles Taylor calls “The Land of Enchantment.”
God made all of creation and calls it “good,” and humans he calls “very good.” God creates and reigns as king over creation, yet God also comes down and walks with humans in intimate dialogue. The Fall is the beginning of human sin, rejecting the intimacy of God, distancing ourselves from God, and choosing self-rule rather than God’s rule.
In this post you’ll find a discussion guide for Bible studies on Genesis 1-3 and Matthew 1-2 written by Journey Bible teacher, Jo Morton.
In Act 1 God creates and rules as King of creation but immediately he walks with humanity in dialogue. In Act 2 humans choose self-rule over God’s rule and human pride rises like Babel and sin spreads like the Noah flood. In this blog for The Journey’s Bible Project in four years, Greg Taylor shows how humans were given a gift of choice and chose self rule.
Would you like more rest? In today’s Journey Bible Project blog, Greg Taylor finds rest in more than God as a Rester but also in His other qualities portrayed in Genesis 2.
The Journey is starting The Bible Project September 3. The big idea is to read, study, teach and learn to live the Bible in four years. Join this blog as we share a daily reading, thought, and prayer that will take us through the Bible together in four years.
Matthew’s account of the birth of Jesus is not the one we typically read at Christmas, so it’s a good one read when it’s not Christmas, as we are starting The Bible Project.
We begin four year journey through the Bible with a bang: a long list of names from Matthew 1:1-17. Are we really going to read this and preach on it? Why? Because we miss a huge piece of Matthew’s possible intent when we skip over what is called the “Genealogy.”
