《Mark 16:15》
Kings
More than 40% of the Old Testament is composed in narrative form. Among these, the historical books are true treasures—not only do they serve as a mirror through which we can understand the past and discern the future, but they also form the foundation of human culture and contain timeless, unchanging truths. These texts transcend time—they are echoes from the past, warnings for the present, and lessons for generations to come. As Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel once said, “The only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history.” The history presented in the Books of Kings is a precious gift from God to us…
Chronicles
When God’s people felt hesitant and helpless, He moved the author of Chronicles to record His revelation—affirming that His promises never change. Though the Israelites had experienced exile and wandering, God reminded them that they remained His beloved and chosen children. He longed for them to rediscover their identity as “God’s children” in their daily lives. Faced with the challenges of their real-world environment, they had to decide each day how to rise above external pressures, resist compromise, live in godliness, restore true worship of the Lord, and pursue the life God intended for them.
The Books of Promise
From the accounts in the books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth, we witness how God led the Israelites into the Promised Land through unmatched miracles, enabling them to take possession of it. Yet, in the blink of an eye, “everyone did what was right in their own eyes.” Their triumphs and failures, though separated from us by thousands of years, still speak powerfully to us today. Even when people falter in weakness, God’s promises remain unchanged. The Books of Promise film includes thirteen stations. We invite you to embark with us on this journey through time and space—to walk alongside the Israelites in the Promised Land, where their story is woven with blessings and pride, regrets and rebellion.
The Books of Return
God used Cyrus the Great, king of the Persian Empire, to declare the return of the people of Judah to the Promised Land. He also inspired leaders like Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah to guide them on this journey. They returned to Jerusalem in three waves to rebuild the temple. In the same way, God can pour a fresh anointing into our lives today. Although the Israelites were God’s chosen people, they still faced the threat of annihilation during the reign of King Ahasuerus. Yet, if God could use Esther to save the entire nation of Israel, surely He can also help you turn adversity into victory.
1 Samuel
Every character in the book of 1 Samuel walks their own unique journey, each with hopes and expectations for where that road will lead. Whether they stood in high places or walked along narrow paths, one truth remained constant: God never left them alone. As we journey through 1 Samuel together, may we see clearly the signposts along the way – reminders that when people truly seek God, the road beneath their feet becomes a glorious highway, paved with grace. May we each resolve to walk with God, and by His strength, finish the journey of our lives.
2 Samuel
2 Samuel begins with David’s rise to the throne following the death of Saul. It recounts how David united the twelve tribes of Israel, established his kingdom in Jerusalem, and brought the Ark of the Covenant there for worship and sacrifice. The book continues through the later years of David’s life. One significant event records how David, relying on human reasoning, chose to take a census of Israel, which provoked God’s anger and resulted in a devastating plague across the land. In response, David repented and purchased Araunah’s threshing floor, where he built an altar to the Lord and offered sacrifices. Only then did the plague cease.
Joshua
The Book of Joshua reveals the rich treasures of heaven, faithfully recording the actions of every character within its pages. Studying Joshua helps us recognize that God is always with us in times of difficulty, and that He alone is the source of our strength and ability to overcome challenges. Through the accounts of key events and battles, we come to understand that God is both merciful and kind—and also holy, hating sin. These stories allow us to personally experience the character of God and His unwavering presence in our own journeys.
Judges
The Book of Judges records the failure of the Israelites, and at the same time reflects that God keeps His covenant and mercy to those who love Him and keep His commandments forever. Readers can also see God’s salvation from the Book of Judges. Even though God was angry at the Israelites who had abandoned Him, when the Israelites were oppressed and cried out to Him, God still raised up judges to save the Israelites from the hands of their enemies.
Ruth
The theme of Ruth is that entry into the kingdom of God is not determined by status nor bloodline, but by the redemption found in Jesus Christ, which makes us righteous, and by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who leads us to follow God’s will. As we witness how God blessed Ruth, we are reminded that He rewards those who live according to His good purpose. The book of Ruth not only reveals God’s care for His people during times of suffering in the Old Testament era but also strengthens the faith of Christians in the New Testament era
Ezra
There are two important themes in The Book of Ezra. The first is that we have an almighty God who is sovereign over all things, including the return of Israel. It was God who moved the heart of King Cyrus to allow the exiles to return to Jerusalem. The second theme centers on holiness. Because the Israelites had been scattered during the exile, the call to live as a holy people is especially emphasized throughout the book.
Nehemiah
Although Nehemiah enjoyed a prosperous life in the court, he still cared about his homeland and feared God. Therefore, when he received the bad news that the walls of Jerusalem had been destroyed and its gates burned, the first thing he did was pray. Because he knew that if he wanted to reverse the fate of the Israelites, he could only rely on God wholeheartedly! Nehemiah’s prayer shows us that he not only knew the attributes of God but also knew the relationship between God and the Israelites. He was also familiar with and understood the law that God passed down to the Israelites through Moses. He knew the reason why the people of Judah were subjugated and taken into captivity is directly related to their straying away from God and not worshiping God exclusively.
Esther
The Book of Esther not only provides us with a history of the life of God’s chosen people in the Persian Empire, but also brings great comfort and encouragement. As we study this book, it becomes clear just how much God loves us. Sometimes in hardships, we may not see God’s actions, but in fact He is miraculously leading and protecting us, and delivering salvation in times of crisis. Reading the Book of Esther opens our eyes to the truth that no matter what difficulties God’s children face, they can lift their hands in faith and cry out to Him in prayer. God’s comfort will surely come, and His salvation will not fail. Do not delay—trust in Him.
