This Week in the Old Testament
Proverbs 1–4; 15–16; 22; 31; Ecclesiastes 1–3; 11–12
Read the assigned passages in their setting, look for the Savior and His work, ponder an honest question, and choose one truth to live.
A gentle weekly rhythm
Seven days of scripture and discipleship
Use the whole pattern or choose one step. The purpose is not to finish a checklist. It is to hear the Lord and follow Him.
Begin
Read the lesson introduction. Write one question you are carrying.
Read
Read the opening portion. Mark repeated names, promises, warnings, and invitations.
Trust
Look for Christ. Notice what the Lord does, promises, teaches, or asks.
Speak
Use the official lesson. Follow one question or cross-reference that deepens understanding.
Become
Study together. Choose one verse and make room for every person to share.
Ponder
Act. Practice one truth in prayer, relationships, worship, or service.
Remember
Share one truth about Christ, record one impression, and choose one action.
Study your way
One lesson, several faithful paths
Choose the setting that fits your life today. Every path returns to scripture and Jesus Christ.
Personal study
Read slowly, mark repeated ideas, write an honest question, and act on one impression.
Continue with prayer and revelation
Family study
Choose one verse, one question, and one small activity. Make room for every voice.
Continue with Christ-centered family study
Deeper study
Begin with the official lesson, then use scholarly context without letting commentary replace scripture.
