A set of study outlines designed to lay a Biblical foundation beginning with the Old Testament, and moving right into the life and teaching of Jesus, the Messiah, His sacrifice, and the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church.

The pattern we follow in this set of outlines is to treat the Old Testament as being the foundation to the New Testament, and the four Gospels, the sayings of Jesus, as foundation to everything else, just as Jesus said it was. Thus the first five modules cover the Old Testament, and the following five, the life and teachings of Messiah Jesus. This should be useful even to those who have walked with the Lord for many years, as study of the Old Testament, particularly the Torah, is an area that has been generally neglected.

The course of study endeavours to give the participant an understanding of things of the faith in the way the early believers in the time of Jesus and the apostles would have understood them -- first by painting the picture of what the early Jews of Jesus time expected and understood, and then expanding on that understanding the way Jesus did. In other words, we are seeking to understand the Kingdom of God as it was originally presented. In doing so, we should pick up on things many in the Church have neglected over the centuries since then.

Robby Charters has lived most of his life in Thailand where he was born of an Irish father and an American mother, both missionaries with WEC. His wife is Thai, and they have one son who is into computer games. His wife has also spent many years in missions with YWAM. At present they live in Northern Ireland, where Robby designs eBooks.

Robbys earlier work in church planting got him interested in the Apostle Paul, which motivated his first serious attempt to write a novel, The Emissary. That led to a lot of research, intensive study of Jewish literature, as well as some involvement in the local synagogue. Though The Emissary never got published, the extra knowledge gained has been valuable in other areas, such as in this present study series.

The whole Bible, from beginning to end, can be summed up in two phrases: God dwelling amongst humanity (also called the Shechinah), and The Kingdom of God. The two are almost synonymous, but not quite. They compliment each other, in much the same way as the two attributes of God do: justice and mercy.

In this study series, we go into detail about how these concepts relate.

For now, picture a kingdom thats as unlike any kingdom youve ever seen or read about, in which the head of state (be it king, president, prime minister, whatever) does his job out of joy of being among his subjects. Instead of staying cooped up in the office administering the affairs of state, he spends his time in the marketplace, in the outdoor cafes and pubs, in the parks, simply mingling with the people, getting to know them, taking personal interest in each ones lives and problems. The kingdom is an intencely happy placeto be.

Now, imagine that at one point in the history of that kingdom, there was a crisis that threatened to bring it to an end. To save the Kingdom, the king resorted to lowering his own status to that of a servant, and endured the most degrading, and humiliating experience that no human should ever go through, but as a result was able to secure a future for that kingdom, restoring it to its former glory and after that, retaining his position as king, but with scars to show for what it cost him. Thus, the king of the realm has become the prime example of how to advance in society, and be true subjects of the Kingdom.

Thats the picture of the Kingdom of God we hope to develop in the course of this Bible study series.

The pattern we follow in this set of sutdies is to go through the various parts, the creation story, the Exodus, the giving of the Torah, the prophets, and the reign of Kings David and Solomon, showing how it reveals God moving step by step closer to humanity, interacting with us in new and creative ways. Then, we explore how Jesus became the ultimate prototype of Gods dwelling with humanity as never before, and then, how, through the Holy Spirit, that Prototype is activated in everyone who will break through into the Kingdom of God agend for this world.

In this series, well gain an understanding of things of the faith in the way the early believers in the time of Jesus and the apostles would have understood them -- first by painting the picture of what the early Jews of Jesus time expected and understood, and then expanding on that understanding the way Jesus did. In other words, we are seeking to understand the Kingdom of God as it was originally presented.
