Hey, church. Thanks for joining me in a reading and study of the Book of Exodus. We've been on a little winter Christmas break. Thank you for that time, but with the New Year having begun, it's time now to jump back into our Tuesday night study and to jump back into the Book of Exodus.
Read moreIn our last study in the Book of Exodus, we saw God begin the process of calling Moses to be the figurehead who would be the deliverer, the prophet, the instrument that God would use to deliver the people of Israel from their slavery in Egypt. They of course had grown in Egypt over a number of years, over 400 years and had gone there originally as a small family with favor from pharaoh because of Joseph and the good success and ministry that he had executed as the right-hand man of pharaoh, but Exodus tells us that a day came when a pharaoh arose who did not know Joseph.
Read moreAt the close of Exodus chapter two, we were told that God saw Israel's distress. In fact, we were told that God heard their distress and that God saw their distress and that God was willing to come down and deal with their distress. Exodus 2:25, closed that distress of Israel with a statement, "God saw the people of Israel and God knew." With that, we're set up for the events of Exodus chapter three, that God has seen the difficulty of the people of Israel. He's seen them in their slavery in Egypt, and He's seen that they are now subjected to a Pharaoh who's forgotten Joseph who came before, and He now is going to move on their behalf.
Read moreHey everyone, thanks for joining us as we continue our study through the bible. And today, we're beginning our study of the book of Exodus. Now the book of Exodus begins very straightforwardly. In verse one of chapter one, it says, "These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob.”
Read moreThanks for joining me on this study through the Book of Genesis. If you get out your Bible or turn to Genesis chapter 47, we're continuing to look at the life of Joseph together. Now last time we were in Genesis, we saw Joseph reconciled to his brothers. His brothers reconciled to him. At first reading, it almost seems as if Joseph is punishing his brothers for their past behavior, their persecution of him, their throwing him into a pit and selling him into slavery punishing them for their jealousy.
Read moreWelcome to our Tuesday Night Church Through the Bible Teaching and Study. Right now, we're in the book of Genesis and nearing the end of the book of Genesis, actually. If you'd like to turn to Genesis chapter 44 as we continue on in looking at the life of Joseph.
Read moreRight now, we’re continuing our journey through the life of Joseph here in Genesis chapter 42 is where we’ll pick up the teaching today. The situation, of course, was laid out for us in the previous chapters. In chapter 41, Joseph miraculously, meteorically ascended to the position at Pharaoh’s right hand. He became, overnight, the second most powerful man in all of Ancient Egypt, the powerful nation of that particular region.
Read moreAs we turn to Genesis chapter 38, we're looking now at the life of Joseph. We followed Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and now we've come to the story of the life of Joseph, which is a major story at the back half of the book of Genesis.
Read moreIn Genesis chapter 27 and 28, Moses turns his attention to the story and the line of Jacob. And just as a reminder to the setting that we're in, in chapter 25 and 26, we saw the emergence of Jacob and his older brother by a couple of minutes, Esau. And we saw in chapter 25 God's selection by promising to Rebecca that Jacob would be the chosen heir. Remember, in the book of Genesis, we are chasing the question from the very beginning of the book, who will be the one to come and crush Satan, who will be the serpent crusher that in chapter three of Genesis God promised to Eve?
Read moreAll right. Let's turn in our Bibles to Genesis chapter 25. We're in a section in the Book of Genesis where a shift is occurring from Abraham to Isaac. And of course, the promises of God have been stated to Abraham in places like Genesis chapter 12 and following. And we've been journeying with Abraham through the course of his life to watch how God reconfirmed his promise to Abraham over and over again.
