365-Books of Wisdom & Poetry (2025)

The Bible is not a book, but rather a collection of books. Much a like a library it contains many genres including: law, history, poetry, prophesy, gospels, and letters. But this library is all telling the same story about a God who longs to be in relationship with humanity, but they often turn away in search of something else. The consequence of this choice is death, but God promises to bless all the nations through one man. This one man is Jesus of Nazareth. He is to show what the kingdom of God is like, to restore the relationship between humanity and God. He does this through his death and resurrection. He has victory over death, and by faith in him we can share in this victory. Jesus will return again to judge the earth.

This story is understood from studying the books of the Bible. We are committed to learning the whole Bible in 365 days. When we seek the truth, we will find it. The books of wisdom are Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. They teach on the difficulties of life, how to live a good life, and reflect on the realities of life and death. The books of poetry are Psalms, Song of Solomon, and Lamentations. They contain songs of praise, love poems, and poems of loss and bitterness. Through poetry the authors share their pain, hope, and the longings of their soul. Their soul longs for more than this world has to offer. It longs for a return to its creator, for its completion through its savior-Jesus Christ.
