MODULE 6: SESSION 30: God Rests on the Seventh Day
The Hebrew words “seven” (sheva) and “complete/full” (sava) share the same consonants, linking the number seven to fullness and completion. On the seventh day of creation, God’s rest is described by two terms: shabbat (Gen. 2:2-3), meaning ceasing work, and nuakh (Exod. 20:11),…

MODULE 6: SESSION 29: The Image of God in the Storyline of the Bible
Daniel 7 is a meditation on Genesis 1-3, where humans give up their role as embodied divine rulers to an animal. They’d rather trust in themselves than in God. And by doing so, they become like beasts. This is where they are banished from God’s garden and begin…

MODULE 5: SESSION 29: 10 Generations from Adam to Noah
The genealogy of Genesis 5 shares some similarities with other ancient Near Eastern genealogies, but the way that this one differs makes a profound theological statement. Enoch is a hero in the biblical value system not a great king or civilization builder but one who walks…

Enoch’s walk with God is a challenge to me personally. We are called to a faithful, growing relationship with God.

MODULE 5: SESSION 28: A Tale of Two Seeds
Lemek’s actions intensify and spread the destruction and bloodshed that began with Cain and the snake. Genesis 4 makes it clear that the theme of the two seeds from Genesis 3 will be an ongoing conflict. Cain and Lemek are both choosing the same path as the seed of the snake. One more thing…

MODULE 6: SESSION 28: Humans as the Image, or Idol, of God
The Hebrew word for “image” is tselem, which literally means “idol.” In the ancient world, idols were said to embody a deity or a king. Idols can serve a priestly function by mediating for the deity they embody, or they can serve a royal function by representing the king.…

This is a great concept on our being made in the image of God. We are the faces of the invisible God on earth.

The Presence of sin part 1
In this lesson the lecturer share an in depth look at the root of sin and is presence. I particularly found it interesting on the identification of how Adam was disobedient towards God directly where as Eve it would seem was not directly instructed by God not to eet from the tree…

Great summary, Brother Andries!
The storyline of the Bible traces the origin of sin from one man, the First Adam, to the defeat of sin in one man, the Last Adam (Jesus). Adam puts us all into trouble, but Jesus delivers us all from it by means of His blood.

Great summary, Pastor @Joe
Studying the Bible is not just something we wake up to, it’s a solemn exercise we must always be prepared for, and what better way to prepare to study God’s word than to have God’s Spirit filling us and leading daily!
