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…

Africa Activity 5 months agoCreative Bible Study Methods
Hi
Seems there is an issue with Certificate in Creative Bible Study Methods course. I cannot resume my lessons. Clicking the continue learning buttons takes me to an error page. Nothing else.

So sorry about that, Brother Ken!
We’re looking into it.

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…

MODULE 4: SESSION 16: Judah’s Offering
The Hebrew words for “divination” and “snake,” nakhash, are spelled with the same letters. Yoseph’s cup of divination identifies him as the disguised tester, but instead of a trap, his test provides an opportunity for his brothers to do the right thing. Throughout Genesis, when the son is lost through…

MODULE 4: SESSION 15: The Brothers Return to Egypt
The phrase “see my face” (Genesis 43:3, 5) links Yoseph and his brothers to the reconciliation of Yaaqov and Esau, which points to the larger reality of reconciliation with God. Yehudah offers his own life as a substitute for the beloved son. This is what rescues the family from death and…

Africa Activity 5 months agoMODULE 1: Session 3 - The ancient shape of scriptures
I have learnt that the ancient Hebrew Bible was grouped into 3 main categories namely; Torah (Law), Nevi’im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings). It’s interesting to see Jesus sums the whole book according to this categorization when He said “written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms” – Luke 24:44. Obviously this…

Great post, @danielocran
I love how his singular statement of Jesus sheds light on the unity and authenticity of the scriptures.

Yes, I like this “He said “written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms” – Luke 24:44. ” Everything written is about an anointed representative, passing through death, resurrected, and redeemed the mankind. It is all about Jesus.

MODULE 4: SESSION 14: Jacob’s Lost Sons
Reuven laments that their brother’s blood is required of them, activating a pattern of innocent blood crying out to God for justice that stretches all the way back to Cain and Abel in Genesis 4. Yoseph’s translator is called a “mediator,” the same word used to describe the prophets who stand in the…

God will always raise other men to stand the gap for their fellow men but Christ is now our ultimate mediator!!
