    MODULE 6: Blessing for the Next Generation

    SESSION 25: A Heroine From the Non-Chosen Family

    Genesis 22:20-24 is a hinge between major sections of the Avraham story, both concluding the previous section and pointing forward to the next. Rivqah (Rebekah) introduces the pattern of heroines of the faith from non-chosen families, which…

  • Good afternoon and praise the Lord members. My name is Barbra Odari, from Nairobi Kenya. I’m delighted to be part of this group. I’m grateful to whoever is concerned for my approval.

    They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I believe this is just but the first step for me and everybody else who has just started this journey…

  • CHAPTER TWO: THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE

    Out of the many things I learnt in this chapter what impacted me most are the successful Bible reading plans which include daily reading, selective reading, prayerful reading and systematic reading. My major comment is on systematic reading which is the reading of the entire Bible in one year following…

    • Surely, setting the time in a day to read the Bible and in case you miss a day keep going and try to catch up is very important. That means developing a pattern on that makes perfection.

      • Thank you for sharing, Edittah!

        There is always the temptation to read a portion of the Bible repeatedly and completely ignore the others. Systematic reading is a truly beneficial approach to Bible study.

        MODULE 5: SESSION 24: Abraham Surrenders Isaac

        Avraham’s test on the mountain mirrors the humans’ test in the garden. But where the man and woman fail, Avraham succeeds. Avraham’s act of total surrender and trust in God is directly attributed to the fear of the Lord. The narrator connects this moment to the later practice of sacrifice in…

        MODULE 5: SESSION 23: Abraham’s Ultimate Test

        Moriah means “seeing,” and it’s a strong thematic connection to the test in the garden of Eden. The theme of the test in the Bible has two sides: positively, it can be an opportunity to prove loyalty and preparedness; negatively, it can be a temptation or a trap. God commands Avraham to…

        MODULE 5: SESSION 22: Abraham’s Covenant with Abimelech

        The biblical authors place these two episodes alongside each other, strongly linked with key words and themes, in order to highlight their differences. The family of God can act arrogantly about their chosen status, driving the nations away, or they can, through covenant, reconcile…

        CHAPTER ONE

        PURPOSE OF THE BIBLE ACCORDING TO 2 CORINTHIANS 3: 16-17

        No scripture is more important than the other because all scripture is breathed out by God. One of the fundamental use of scripture is to teach the doctrine on how to live Godly lives. They are also used for reproof where one criticizes him or…

        • Great summary, Edittah! No scripture is more important than the other.

          • It is very true, according to 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) we are told that “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,”

          • New Testament Survey: Chapter One

            Going through the first chapter of this course l learned some really good things the meaning of the Bible, Scriptures, those who wrote the Bible, when it was written, the division of the Bible, the unity and diversity of the Bible. What really struck my heart was the unity of the Bible. The Bible is united…

            • Great! Thank you for sharing, @maxwelloluwasegun

              I love the fact that there are no contradictions in the Bible. We only need the right tools to get the meaning and relationship between seeming contradictions.

              • May God bless you for sharing this “The writers were united in purpose because they had only one author- God. “
