CHAPTER NINE : STUDYING THE BIBLE BY THE BIBLE
What impacted me most from this chapter are the symbols of the word of God and out of the many symbols learnt I will discuss only five of them.
– Mirror (James 1:23-27) this reflects the true nature of the hearer and shows them their need for christ.
– Water (Ephesians 5:26) this represents the cleansing, washing and purifying effect of the word…

Great symbols there! The Bible uses very important things that are used every day and cannot do without. As such, helping us to know that we cannot do without the word of God.

Lesson 1- The Wonderful World of Words
There is an interesting relationship between words and meanings. Most times we get so used to familiar words and often rely solely on them for better understanding. But it is amazing how even unfamiliar words can help convey meaning. Human communication is indeed marvelous and magical.

JACOB
MODULE 2: SESSION 9: Rebekah’s Plan to Deceive Isaac
The biblical narrative consistently critiques polygamy by always putting front and center the abuse, neglect, and objectification these women have to endure at the hands of men who accumulate wives. Rivqah hatches a plot that unfolds to the melody of the Genesis 3 failure story.

JACOB
MODULE 2: SESSION 8: Reconcile Through Covenant
Yitskhaq’s story in Genesis 26 is the whole biblical narrative in miniature, and it ends with this scene of reconciliation through covenant. The biblical authors use garden of Eden imagery to talk about the reconciliation of rival families, linking this theme to God’s ultimate purpose of…

JACOB
MODULE 2: SESSION 7: Eden Springs in a Dry Land
Faithful to his promises, God blesses Yitskhaq despite his lack of trust. In the biblical narrative, God’s blessing often becomes a source of jealousy and rivalry between the chosen and the non-chosen characters. The biblical authors weave repeated key words like thread, stitching narrative…

That remains the problem in our world and even the church of today!

Reading this story, it feels like a movie, and a lot of humor when the thief is caught!

MODULE 2: SESSION 8: Judah and Tamar
Literary links at the beginning of Genesis 38 and 39 invite the reader to make a deliberate comparison between Yoseph, who “was taken down” (yarad) from his brothers into Egypt, and Yehudah, who also “went down” (yarad) from his brothers. Yehudah’s story in Genesis 38 provides, in riddle form, an…

Enemy Territory
Chapter 7
The topic is about religious perspective on “the world” and Satan.
“The world” is not just as the physical earth, but as an organized system of social, economic, and religious philosophies that are opposed to God.Satan is the”prince of the world” or “god of this world,” who blinds those who do not believe.The world is an…

JOSEPH
MODULE 2: SESSION 7: Down Into the Pit
The biblical authors liken Yoseph’s descent into the pit to an animal sent to slaughter. Details like the goat killed for its blood and Potiphar, captain of the butchers, give shape to this image. Through repetition of key vocabulary, the biblical authors link Yoseph’s betrayal with the binding of…
