The Bible with Nicky and Pippa Gumbel Classic

Proverbs 2:1–11, Matthew 12:22–45, Genesis 32:1–33:20

How do you store up good things in your heart?

Psalm 1:1–6, Matthew 1:1–25, Genesis 1:1–2:17

The first three words in the Bible are, ‘In *the beginning*…’ (Genesis 1:1). Each of the passages for today tells us something about new beginnings and new opportunities, and suggests some possible New Year’s resolutions.

Psalm 150:1–6, Revelation 22:1–21, Nehemiah 13:1–31

We are *not* told *when* the end will come, but we *are* told about the *how* and the *who*. The key is the *who*. Jesus says, ‘I am… *the Beginning* and *the End*’ (Revelation 22:13). Of course, ‘the End’ and ‘the Beginning’ appear very different. However, there can be significant similarities to both the beginning and the end.

Proverbs 31:21–31, Revelation 21:1–27, Nehemiah 11:22–12:47

The picture of the bride, the new Jerusalem, is prefigured in different ways in both our Old and New Testament passages.

Psalm 149:1–9, Revelation 20:1–15, Nehemiah 9:38–11:21

You will reign *with Christ*. What does this mean? Who reigns with him? When does this reign begin?
