Good morning,
This week we will begin a ten week series on the Old Testament foundation stones. These are the bedrock for what we believe. Without an understanding and obedience to these teachings, no one can correctly understand the rest of the Bible. Including our salvation.
Our study will encompass the whole book of Genesis 1-50 and Exodus 1-12.
We begin with an introduction to the Old Testament, things to know about the Old Testament, and the eight foundation stones.
What we will be studying
a. Week 1: Genesis 1 Creation In the beginning God… (Gen 1:1)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
b. Week 2: Genesis 3 Fall of man …and he did eat (Gen 3:6)
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
c. Week 3: Genesis 6 The flood And the Lord said, I will destroy man… (Gen 6:7)
And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
d. Week 4: Genesis 12 Abraham So Abram departed (Gen 12:4)
So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
e. Week 5: Genesis 24 Isaac And the Lord appeared unto Isaac… (Gen 26:24)
And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
f. Week 6: Genesis 28 Jacob And, behold, I am with you…(Gen 28:15)
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
g. Week 7: Genesis 37 Joseph And the Lord was with Joseph… (Gen 39:2)
And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
h. Week 8: Exodus 12 …and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door,… (Ex 12:23)
For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
i. Week 9: CONCLUSION
This will be an exciting study. We will learn many things that will help us to understand what and why we believe.
These foundation stones are crucial to correctly tell others about their heritage.
Join us and bring others. We meet in the meeting at the Wasilla Area Seniors, Inc, Wednesday mornings at 10 am.
