A Fresh Way to Read Exodus This Passover

I attended a small Bible college, majoring in elementary education with a minor in Biblical Studies. Of all my professors, my Old Testament professor had the greatest impact on me. His class had no tests, no memorization yet I retained more from his class than from any other course. His approach left me hungry to learn more. The only assignment? Read the entire Old Testament and engage with the text.

His very simple format was a one size fits all, for the newbie or the well versed.  That semester, I fell in love with the Old Testament.  My mind was trained to ask questions, make connections, and see the Bible as one seamless, overarching story.

As we approach Passover, a group of us will be studying the first fifteen chapters of Exodus using this same format, and I’d love for you to join us! I’ve linked the first five pages on Canva HERE or in drop box HERE to get you started.

How It Works

Each day this week, you’ll read one chapter and fill in the following sections:

📖 SUMMARY:
Write a brief, two- to three-sentence summary of the chapter. If a particular verse stands out to you, note it here!

❓ QUESTIONS:
Jot down any questions you’d ask God as you read, even the ones you may never fully understand this side of eternity. Asking questions is a powerful way to deepen your study and grow in conversation with Him. Many of my own studies have gone deeper simply because of the questions I’ve asked.

🔗 CONNECTIONS & APPLICATION:
Write down any connections you notice to other parts of Scripture. For example, Pharaoh’s decree to kill all newborn Israelite boys mirrors King Herod’s order to kill all male children under two. What patterns do you see? What lessons can you apply to your own life?

I encourage you to invite a friend or have your kids join in.  Studying Scripture together makes the experience even more meaningful.
