Old Testament Bible Study: A Practical Guide to Growing Through God's Word
DISCIPLE-MAKING. ANYTIME. ANYWHERE.
The Old Testament is the foundation of the Christian faith. From creation and the covenant with Abraham to the Psalms, Proverbs, and the promises of the prophets, the Old Testament reveals God's character, His plan of redemption, and His faithfulness throughout history.
Yet many Christians struggle to study the Old Testament consistently. Some aren't sure where to begin, while others become overwhelmed by long reading plans or difficult passages.
A structured Bible study plan can make all the difference.
The D-Life Old Testament Journals help individuals, churches, small groups, and home groups study Scripture in a simple, practical, and reproducible way.
Why Study the Old Testament?
The Old Testament is much more than a history book.
It teaches us about:
- God's holiness and faithfulness
- His covenant relationship with His people
- The importance of obedience and trust
- Wisdom for everyday living
- The promises fulfilled through Jesus Christ
- God's plan to redeem the world
Jesus Himself regularly quoted the Old Testament and taught from it. Understanding these Scriptures gives believers a richer understanding of the entire Bible.
Build a Daily Habit of Bible Study
One of the greatest challenges believers face is consistency.
The D-Life Journals make daily Bible study manageable by guiding you through
one chapter a day, five days a week. This simple rhythm helps establish lifelong habits without feeling overwhelming.
Instead of trying to rush through large sections of Scripture, you'll have time to read, reflect, pray, and apply what God is teaching you.

Study God's Word with the SPACE Method
Every D-Life Journal incorporates the SPACE Bible Study Method, helping believers move beyond simply reading Scripture to living it.
As you read each chapter, ask:
- S – Is there a Sin to confess?
- P – Is there a Promise to claim?
- A – Is there an Attitude to change?
- C – Is there a Command to obey?
- E – Is there an
Example to follow?
This simple approach encourages personal application and helps believers develop lifelong habits of biblical reflection.
Growing Together in God's Word
Bible study was never meant to be a solitary activity.
God designed believers to encourage one another, pray together, and grow in community.
The D-Life Journals help churches create a culture where disciples are continually growing, encouraging one another, and multiplying leaders who invest in others.
That's the heart of disciple-making.
