Hello and welcome to the page of TTE (Taking the Epistle) which houses an ordered list of our Bible studies verse by verse through the Bible. This blog was set up as a personal journey for the author reading through the epistles and I plan to do studies as the LORD leads, it may end up being verse by verse, it may end up being a more topical study as required.
In this section called “the Gospels” I have divided the bible into the books of the bible to allow easier access to the studies. When the studies are active the pages will hyperlink. You can also get to these pages through the drop down menu at the top of the page. If you click on the links it will give you a list within that category of the bible with a date and list of verses.
The Gospels are the part of the bible which go through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and mainly deal with his teachings, genealogy, the miracles performed as well as accounts of his betrayal and eventual crucifixion and resurrection. The word Gospel literally means “good news” and the life, death and resurrection of Jesus is good news.
Here are the studies below and if you wish to peruse one of the studies then please click on the links below.
