Reformed Bible Study
by Dr. Frank Walker
Have you ever wondered how all the different parts of the Bible fit together? Why are some passages given as history while others are poetry or prophecy? What does the New Testament have to do with the Old? How were different doctrines revealed over time? Can the Bible really be trusted? Well, if these questions ever crossed your mind, this Bible study is for you. Our approach is simply to look at the Bible itself to guide us.

Heidelberg Catechism Q/A 32
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. Question 32 of the Heidelberg Catechism asks why you are called a Christian, and its answer gives that familiar name far more weight than most believers realize: by faith you are a member of Christ and a partaker of his anointing as prophet, priest, and king.…

35. Elijah the Prophet
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. Elijah the Tishbite enters the sacred record with no genealogy and no recorded call, announcing drought to a king who had made Baal the religion of the realm, and his ministry runs from a widow in Sidon to the fire that fell on Mt. Carmel and consumed the...
-
34. The Divided Kingdom
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. Solomon's apostasy split the kingdom his father built, and in Jeroboam's rebellion and Rehoboam's folly we watch covenant unfaithfulness bear its bitter fruit. But even here, the LORD preserves a remnant for David's sake, a mercy that points beyond every…
more -
32. Solomon
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. Today we turn to Solomon, whose divinely given wisdom raised the temple, brought Israel to the height of its glory, and carried redemptive history one step nearer to the greater Son of David to come. His reign holds both grace and folly together, and offers…
more -
31. The Psalms
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. The Psalms are Israel's hymnal — one hundred fifty poems that range from the midnight of David's cave to the bright certainty of a coming King, and that have served, as Luther put it, as a Bible in miniature for every generation that has prayed through them.…
more -
29. King Saul
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. King Saul is one of the Bible's most sobering figures — a man who had every advantage. He was king and won an early victory. He also prophesied among the prophets. Yet he disobeyed God, pursued David relentlessly, and ended his days consulting a witch in…
more -
28. Samuel the Prophet
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. This lesson turns to Samuel the prophet — the hinge figure who closed the era of the judges and opened the age of the monarchy, and who uniquely among Old Testament figures exercised the three offices of prophet, priest, and king-maker. From Hannah's song...
-
27. Samuel, Kings and Chronicles
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. Today we survey three of the Old Testament's most historically rich books — Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles — asking what they are, who wrote them, and why they still matter. Together they span six centuries of Israel's covenant life and tell one relentless…
more -
26. Ruth
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. Set against the dark backdrop of the Judges period, the book of Ruth tells the story of a Moabite widow whose covenant loyalty leads her into the lineage of David — and ultimately of Christ. In Boaz, the kinsman-redeemer who pays the full price to claim what...
-
25. Judges, Part 2
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. The closing chapters of Judges offer no heroic deliverers, no foreign oppressors, no familiar cycle of sin and salvation — only two grim appendices that function as the book's final verdict on a people who have abandoned the covenant. What we find here is the...
-
24. Judges, Part 1
Welcome to Reformed Bible Study. The book of Judges confronts us with a sobering paradox: a people who have witnessed the mighty acts of God and sworn covenant loyalty to him, yet who spiral downward through a relentless cycle of sin, servitude, and desperate supplication — and through it all, a...
-
23. Joshua
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. Today we will examine the book of Joshua, a book about a God who keeps every one of his covenant promises. Even the name Joshua, which means 'Jehovah saves,' signals that he is a type of Christ. Join us as we trace God's sovereign grace from the Jordan River…
more -
22. Deuteronomy
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study. Today we turn to the book of Deuteronomy, a book whose name means 'Second Law,' to see that Moses was not simply repeating laws he had already given the Israelites, but was preparing a new generation to live as God's redeemed people in his land, with hearts...
-
21. Psalm 90
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study, where we dig deep into the Word of God. Today we turn to Psalm 90 — the only psalm written by Moses — where the Man of God sets the shortness of human life against the backdrop of God's eternal majesty, his holy wrath against sin, and his overflowing…
more -
20. Numbers
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study, where we open the Scriptures with reverence for the holiness of God and confidence in His sovereign grace. In this episode, we turn to the book of Numbers, written by Moses, and trace Israel’s journey through the wilderness—a sobering account of testing,...
-
19. Leviticus
Welcome to our Reformed Bible Study. Today we're diving into Leviticus, a book many skip but one the New Testament quotes over a hundred times. We'll explore how God's holiness, the sacrificial system, and the priestly regulations all point forward to the perfect work of Jesus Christ, our great...
-
18. Exodus
Welcome to the Reformed Bible Study, where we explore God's Word from a confessionally Reformed and historic Christian perspective. Today we're examining the book of Exodus and its two-part structure: God delivers his people from Egyptian slavery and then brings them to himself for worship and...
-
16. Joseph, Part 1
Welcome to Reformed Bible Study, where we explore the big picture of God's sovereign grace through Jesus Christ. Today we turn to the life of Joseph, whose journey from favored son to rejected brother to exalted ruler foreshadows our Savior's humiliation.
-
15. Jacob
Welcome to Reformed Bible Study, where we explore the big picture of Scripture, discovering how God's sovereign grace unfolds from Genesis to Revelation. Today we're examining the life of Jacob, the scheming supplanter whom God transformed into Israel, a prince of God. Join us as we trace his...
-
14. Isaac
In The Reformed Bible Study, we examine the life of Isaac — a quiet but pivotal figure in God's redemptive story. While overshadowed by the more active lives of Abraham and Jacob, Isaac’s story reveals profound truths about grace, election, and trust in God's timing. His story teaches us that…
more -
13. Abraham, Part 2
Welcome to our Bible study! Today, we continue our deep dive into the life of Abraham, the father of believers, although we'll shift our focus from his initial call to the testing of his faith, examining both his failures—like his lies about Sarah and the Hagar incident—and the supreme...
-
12. Abraham, Part 1
Welcome to our Bible study. Abraham stands as one of the towering figures of Scripture — the bridge between humanity's ancient past and God's redemptive plan for Israel, and most importantly, the father of all who believe by faith alone. Today we're tracing his journey from Ur to become the…
more -
11. Job
The book of Job. Why do the righteous suffer? That's the question at the heart of the book of Job, one of the oldest books in the Bible. Join us as we explore how Job's story reveals not a simple explanation for suffering, but something far more profound: the sovereignty of a God who is worthy of...
-
10. The Post-Fall World
Genesis 9:18–11:9. The flood is over, Noah and his family emerge, and God renews his covenant—but sin doesn't disappear with this fresh start. In the chapters ahead, we'll see man's rebellion against God's plan, and yet, remarkably, we'll also see God's sovereign purposes unfolding precisely...
-
9. Noah, a Preacher of Righteousness
Genesis 6–9. Today, we're diving into the story of Noah, a preacher of righteousness who foreshadowed Jesus Christ. We'll explore what his life can teach us about faith, obedience, and standing firm in our convictions, even when we feel alone, and how Jesus gave a greater salvation than Noah ever...
-
8. Two Developing Civilizations
Genesis 4:1–6:10. After Adam sinned, his two sons continued the hostility, which resulted in Cain killing Abel. Then Seth took Abel's place. The resulting seed produced two distinct cultures and civilizations. When they intermarried and produced great violence in the earth, God brought a…

7. God’s Response to Sin

-

-
5. The Fall and Human Sin
Genesis 3:1-7. A look at man’s fall and the nature of sin. Even in his fallen condition, Adam saw that he needed a covering, but he sought it in the wrong place.
