JACOB
MODULE 3: SESSION 14: Laban Deceives Jacob
Human favoritism is a distorted version of God’s love and favor for the chosen one, which is bestowed for the blessing of the many. Yaaqov, with his four wives, is the furthest yet from the Eden ideal for marriage. God institutes laws protecting the firstborn’s rights against favoritism, but God…

JACOB
MODULE 3: SESSION 13: Deception in the House of Laban
Lavan’s deception with his daughters is paralleled by his deception with his flocks, providing an implicit critique of the way these men are using women as objects in their power games. How we interpret passages depicting the mistreatment of women in the Bible can either illuminate…

Africa Activity 4 months agoLessons 1 - Predestination 1 (The doctrine of Salvation).
The will of God for mankind is that all men be saved through faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:16). Understanding God therefore means understanding the true doctrine of salvation from Biblical perspective and not from human thinking or ideology. For the Bible says, “Your thoughts are not my thoughts”. So salvation is God’s idea and divine will and…

This is very profound that “I must be a student and follower of the Bible and not a follower of theologians when it comes to finding doctrinal answers.”

MODULE 6: Jacob’s Song of Blessing
SESSION 21: Jacob Blesses Joseph’s Sons
As Genesis draws to a close, the narrative revisits the question of how God’s blessing of Abraham will carry forward, with an intensification of blessing vocabulary not seen for many chapters. Yaaqov blessing his sons in Genesis 48-49 is matched by Moses blessing…

MODULE 5: SESSION 20: Joseph Leads Egypt Through a Famine
Yaaqov blesses Pharaoh. This is the first time Abraham’s family explicitly blesses the nations as promised by God in Genesis 12:3. Yoseph rescues the people and animals of the land from the flood-like famine, once again cast as a new Noah. Yoseph’s wise administration of the land…

MODULE 5: SESSION 19: From Canaan to Goshen
Yaaqov assigns Yehudah with the role of instructing the family, charting his character transformation into a humble leader. Yehudah is the fourth son, continuing a pattern of three-plus-one surprise bonuses in Genesis. The wilderness is outside the land of promise, but it is also the place where…

MODULE 5: Joseph Rescues Egypt and His Family
SESSION 18: Jacob’s Journey to Egypt
Averting crisis with the family moving to Egypt, the final third of the Yoseph story highlights the tension of temporary safety outside the land of promise. Upon hearing the news that Yoseph is alive, Yaaqov metaphorically dies, coming back to life when…

MODULE 4: SESSION 17: Reconciliation of the Brothers
Returning to the flood melody, Yoseph’s offer of refuge in Egypt echoes the safety of the ark during the de-creation of the cosmos. The name Goshen is a wordplay on the Hebrew word for “garden” (gan), representing an abundance of God’s provision in the midst of famine. God rescuing…
