I thank God for the studies. I have come to learn that the book of Exodus has been reframed in a manner that it gives three narratives. We have the narrative of creation, the identity of the children of Israel and lastly God’s presence among them. What touched me most was about the plagues. I have learned that the plagues have…

Exodus overview sessions 25-27
From the sessions especially chapter 26 i have learned that the Israelites demeaned themselves by worshipping the golden calf. This is so because idolatry demeans the glory of God in us because we are made in the image of God. If you demean the glory of God then it means you are demeaning the very essence of your humanity. This is so because… Read more

Amen, we are created for His glory.

Exodus overview- sessions 22-24
it has been very interesting to learn about the seven speech series.We find that the seven speeches carry specific theological meaning. They are designed in a way that echo or reflect the seven day creation account as seen in Genesis.They also call back or remind us of the garden of Eden picture.When it speaks of flowers or angels,gold…

Heaven and Earth sessions 4-6
One thing that has come out clear to me from the studies is that in order to understand and interpret clearly what is in the biblical texts such as Genesis 1, one must understand it as cross-cultural. The bible was written by people of a different culture and in a different environment. So to effectively understand and interpret the…

Exodus overview-sessions 19-21
It was nice to have learned about the Hebrew ebedim(servant). From the onset it looked like the Israelites endorsed slavery but when i dug deep into the studies from Exodus 21 i found that it was far from that. The ebedim functioned as a protective regulations laid down to protect the vulnerable people from exploitation by the mighty…

Amen and greetings
There seems to be a distinction between slavery and the ebedim. Many people still believe that the Bible promotes slavery but from what I understand the ebedim is what we have as an employment contract in this day and age. It lays out rules that protect both employer and employee (master and servant). Have I understood…

Exodus overview sessions 13-15
I want to say that i have learned alot from the three sessions and especially on the topic liminal space.
I have seen why the children of Israel stayed in the wilderness. This liminal space can be called a place of no where. The children of Israel were neither in Egypt nor the promised land. They were somewhere…

“fully depend on God” stood out for me in your post. The extent to which mankind needs God, I think it is yet to be fathomed. To God be the glory.

You have taught me something new today called ‘liminal space.’ It is always encouraging to see your overviews on the lessons you completed. Keep going and stay blessed.

Exodus overview sessions 10-12
The significance of Miriam being called prophet in Exodus 15:20 taught me alot in the sessions.
I came to a realization that Miriam is the first woman in the bible to be given the title of a prophet. I noticed that this title of being a prophet placed her and her two brothers Moses and Aaron on an equal level in representing God and speaking…

Exodus overview-sessions 7-9
One outstanding thing that i got from the sessions above is about the significance of Moses’staff turning into a snake infront of pharaoh. I found out that this was an act of Yahweh proving His sovereignty. In the Egyptian culture and royalty,snake symbolises a power associated with chaos,danger and rebellion against God. Egyptians…

Exodus overview
From sessions 4-6, i hve learned how important pharaoh’sdaughter was to Moses.
The first thing i came accross is that compassion can override prejudice. We can see that pharaoh’s daughter eventhough was brought up in a royal house hold of an oppressive regime was moved with empathy when she saw a vulnerable Hebrew child. This teaches that we…

God’s ways and thoughts are indeed higher than our own. Now that I know the meaning of the name Moses, I couldn’t agree more that it was indeed God’s intervention. It makes me wonder, how many times has God intervened in my own life and I wasn’t even aware of it and here I am, alive today, saved by the blood of Jesus Christ…

From the lessons 25-27 of the introduction to the Hebrew bible i have come to enjoy the lesson on the bible narrative analogy.
I have learned that narrative analogy is a story telling technique used by the biblical authors to give as comparisons and parallelism to an older story and a new one. Here the reader is prompted to connect…
