Lesaon 16

This chapter taught about ressurection. I learned that there are several reasons for the importance of Jesus’s ressurection . The first is because his resurrection is basic to our faith. Also, his ressurection is necessary for our salvation. His reasure roons confirms that believers are justified. It means that death is…

What stood out to me while reading Leviticus was how intentional God was about everything. At first, all the laws, sacrifices, offerings, and instructions felt like a lot, but I started to see that God was teaching His people how to live set apart and how to approach a holy God. They could not just come to God however they wanted; God gave…

What stands out most about Session 21: Abraham is how it teaches us to read the Bible not as a collection of isolated stories, but as one connected and carefully designed narrative. The birth of Isaac is especially exciting because it fulfills God’s promise to Abraham and Sarah, bringing laughter and joy after years of waiting. Yet even in this…

After completing module 08 of the History of the Bible, my first major takeaway was the history and sacrifice behind having the Bible available in English today. I have always had access to multiple Bibles and translations, so it is easy to take that privilege for granted. Learning more about John Wycliffe and especially William Tyndale…

The story of Ruth is, for me, one of the most fascination narratives in the Old Testament. An Israelite leaves his home country in a time of famine, during the rule of the Judges. He takes with him his wife and two sons, who both subsequently marry Moabite woman. The sad part of the story is that first her husband dies, and then both her…

What stands out most about Session 20 is how Genesis 20 revisits the Eden narrative while showing Abraham’s continued struggle to fully trust God. I was especially fascinated by the irony that Abraham, God’s chosen covenant partner, acts more like the deceiver, while Abimelech, a foreign king, demonstrates integrity and fear of God. The story…

The stories in Genesis reveal an important pattern of human failure, God’s judgment, and God’s new beginning. The pattern of “de-creation” and “new creation” appears in events such as the flood and the scattering at Babel. Human sin brings disorder and separation, but God does not abandon His creation. After judgment, He brings…

What stands out most about Abraham Session 19 is how the story of Lot’s rescue continues the larger biblical themes of creation, de-creation, judgment, mercy, and redemption.

The Hebrew word “tam,” meaning whole or complete, describes moral integrity, yet Yaaqov’s story complicates this ideal. Though called a “whole man,” Yaaqov’s character is marked by contradiction.
