    MODULE 5: SESSION 22: God Wrestles With Jacob

    The letters of Yaaqov’s name are littered throughout the narrative where his name is changed. The judgment that Yaaqov faces, being wounded in his striving against God, comes to its ultimate fulfillment in the suffering of the Messiah on our behalf. The biblical authors depict the true-to-life…

    MODULE 7: SESSION 29: Reflecting on the Joseph Story

    Every detail of the biblical text is thoughtfully crafted and divinely inspired. Taking time to consider why a certain story or narrative element has been included can reveal deep meaning and connection to the big picture of the whole Bible’s message. The story of Yoseph illustrates how…

    MODULE 7: Going Up to Canaan

    SESSION 28: Joseph’s Future Hope

    The pattern of migrations in Genesis, as Abraham and his descendants move up and down from Canaan, reflects the pattern of moving from blessing to exile to redemption woven throughout the Hebrew Bible. Yoseph’s request for his bones to be taken up to Canaan is a prophetic…

    MODULE 3: A Covenant at Mount Sinai

    SESSION 15: Commissioning the Nation

    At Sinai, God redefines Israel’s identity. As God’s segullah, or “treasured possession,” Israel is being called to fulfill a special purpose in representing God to the nations. Peter calls the New Testament Church, made up of Jewish and Gentile followers of…

    MODULE 2: SESSION 14: Burden of Leadership

    Two conversations with Jethro frame Israel’s deliverance story (Exodus 4 and 18). Jethro represents the first of many nations who will acknowledge Yahweh’s greatness because of his victory over Pharaoh. It seems noble of Moses to shoulder the burden of all the people, but it’s unwise. We…

      Very important, Mr. David! A lot of men are suffering under the pretense that they are the ones limiting the growth and effectiveness of the work!

  • EXODUS OVERVIEW

    MODULE 2: SESSION 13: Liminal Space

    The wilderness narratives recount a liminal space for God to form Israel as a new nation. The wilderness narratives in Exodus 15-18 mirror the wilderness journey of Numbers 10-21 in a chiasm that frames the entire Torah. The people’s ingratitude and rebellion meets God’s gracious provision in…

    CHAPTER SIX

    PRINCIPLES OF INTERPRETATION

    • It is very true that “The rule of cumulative revelation states that the full truth of God’s word on any subject must not be gathered from an isolated passage, but from a cumulative total revelation.” Sometimes we tend to single out a certain passage or scripture and come up with an unreasonable conclusion.

      • Great summary there, Mr. Barbra!

        MODULE 5: Jacob’s Return From Exile

        SESSION 21: Jacob Builds an Ark

        Yaaqov encounters the divine both as he leaves and as he returns to the land of Canaan, echoing the spiritual guardians at the entrance to the garden of Eden. Hyperlinks to the flood narrative portray Yaaqov as building his own ark to protect him from the flood of…
