Where To Start In The Bible? What To Read First?

Where do you start when reading the Bible? There are so many options and so many opinions.
In this short message I am answering this question from my own opinion, explaining why I suggest this and teaching you how to read the Bible and understand in a simple way.
My prayer is that you receive and hear from the Holy Spirit what He has for you in this message.

Thank you so much, I just found your video because I have started to take my life with the Lord serious, God is wonderful indeed🙏🏾

[@hiswordmywalk]

Praise God! 🙌🏼 And, I am proud of you. Come on in. You are welcome here. Come join me through the Bible chapter by chapter, day by day. I've been in the book of Matthew. Here's the link to chapter 1☺️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/jojcgnduYrqCe6ssi=kbmB4IfYJ0DYJ2SX

[@annenjenga8793]

I didn't know where to start reading the Bible thanks for this video.

[@TrulyBlessed_1111]

Thank you for this. I've been so lost on where to start so I can be consistent with reading the Bible. This makes total sense. God bless!

[@hiswordmywalk]

I am so glad! Come and join me through Matthew on my page. Day by day. Just start today. I would love to see you there ☺️

[@inspiredtopics]

Amen 🙏

[@gaylinecupido4616]

I have just started in the Gospel of Matthew again 3 days ago and then this. 🙌🏽 My God is perfect.🙏🏽🙌🏽 May God continue to bless you.

[@hiswordmywalk]

YES!!!! I love it when we realize that He just KNOWS WHAT WE NEED! And when it's this little like fist bump of like, "yep, you heart Me right, you're doing it, and here's a boost of confirmation"!!! Can't wait to serve you through the book of Matthew!!! ☺️

[@gaylinecupido4616]

@hiswordmywalk It's been so amazing,inspiring and insightful truly learning.🙌🏽 The Holy Spirit is just blowing my mind. Thank you so much for these studies I started late so I'm catching up. 🙏🏽

[@halwiggam5465]

I hand out bibles. I give out a book mark that has emergency numbers and it give people a direction for their questions. I heard a guy say he was handed a bible and he didn't know where to start so he needed a job so he went the job section (Job).

[@hiswordmywalk]

I am so glad I can answer some questions that are so often googled 😉 Well take this as confirmation; or double confirmation lol. Hope to see you through the next couple weeks going through Matthew day by day here

[@pattylevasseur4041]

[@Red-Bird-October]

Personally, I’m a proponent for reading the Bible straight through, starting with Genesis and ending with Revelation, at least when you’re reading it for the first time. Doing it that way greatly helped my understanding of scripture. ❤

[@hiswordmywalk]

Awesome! His Word is His Word! All of it! Great job going straight through.

[@garyowens8201]

There’s no wrong answer on where to start. I do feel however that for someone who has never read scripture , the book of John is a very good beginning point.

[@hiswordmywalk]

Totally! There's definitely no wrong answer, just opinions from our own experiences as we have each grown ☺️

[@garyowens8201]

I just started watching your study in Matthew. Love your energy and enthusiasm you bring. I’m one of those who really enjoys that deep dive into the study of the words and how they’re used and going back to the Greek. It really helps to gain context since our English language doesn’t always cross over that well.

[@trishglen279]

Thank you, so much. I will start in Matthew. God Bless and have an awesome day 💝

[@peggysola3405]

I would LOVE to start with JOHN and that is my Father's name 😊

[@momofthemonsters]

I recently found your channel and I love watching and listening and learning from you! I am asking for prayers. Tomorrow April 30 I have a doctors appointment for a 48 hour eeg. then on may 1st I have an inspection for my apartment! This is all very stressful on me! please pray everything goes well!

[@hiswordmywalk]

Lord, I come to You right now in the Name of Jesus and I lift up my new friend to You. I pray for peace. Peace in her mind and in her heart. I thank You for developments in medicine and tests that can help us. Hold her close, please Lord as she wears the heart monitor, and reveal Yourself to her in a fresh way. With decisions ahead, we thank You for already knowing, already being there, already making a way where we can’t always see a way. You are good. You are mighty. You are powerful. You are sovereign, and You are love. Please love Your daughter and help her to feel Your presence in these coming days. In Jesus’ Name. Amen 🙏🏼 ❤

I really believe that God led me to you Kaela! I jus happen to stumble across your video’s a couple of days ago. I wasn’t raised in a Church family. We went some, but not that often. I’ve always felt there has to be more!… I started reading the Bible in 2012…and I also got Baptized that year! I still have a lot to learn…I am not where I need to be…I still feel like a baby Christian and I’m sure I still have a lot to learn! I really want to build a stronger relationship with God. Thank you! 💖💖💖

[@bzrkmaniac7157]

First time I heard Gods voice he said, “Read Romans.” 😅 I did. It was great. After that I read the gospel. Thinking about just reading Acts next. 😊

[@hiswordmywalk]

that's awesome! Acts is next after the Gospels, not just in the Bible but chronologically. It flows right into it. Enjoy!

Kaela, what a blessing you are to the body of Christ. I would love to start walking through the book of Matthew with you; however, I was unable to access how to purchase the workbook when I went to your suggested website. Can you please show me how I can purchase the workbook?

[@hiswordmywalk]

God bless you. Thank you. Shoot, let me try to attach the link here. You can watch the videos without the workbook, it will just give you some extra insight to help you apply. Let me know if this doesn't work: stan.store/kaelaprays/p/matthew

[@ndumiemrsc4197]

Thank you for this video. I have been struggling where to start but I was reading anyway. Now my problem is to be a perfectionist. If I buy a note book, I am scared to start writing on it. It feels like I will make a mistake and I don't like errors on my book. It’s better when I use a device so that I can edit. I don't know how to explain this creepy feeling. I want to let go of being too perfect. This affects me in so many areas of my life.

[@hiswordmywalk]

You are so welcome. Well, as in anything in life, change takes work. How about this, try watching a couple chapters of the book of Matthew videos on my channel without taking any notes at first, and then see what flows.

[@davelyn786]

Start from genesis to revelations. Read the whole story prayerfully. 2 Tim 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whomfn you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of Godfn may be complete, equipped for every good work. The scripture Paul is referring to here is what we call the Old Testament and it is able to make you wise unto salvation. Blessings.

[@kelleym7623]

To start in Genesis and read through in order to revelation can be heavy especially for a new believer. I tried that as a new believer it was hard versus reading some old testament and some new testament.

[@davelyn786]

@@kelleym7623 I understand people say that. It’s a story. It has a beginning and an end. Weren’t supposed to understandi it the first time we read it. We understand the more we read and live it. We don’t read any other book starting at the end. As a new believer I was always told not to read it from the beginning but I think differently now. The old came first and that will help us to understand the new better.

Read Matthew Mark Luke and John, then read the book of Acts. That is the beginning of THE CHURCH. 😊

Such a great suggestion.

[@captainnolan5062]
