    Lesson 6 – Abraham, Archaeology and History – Part 2

    Going back into early civilization, when houses and even cities were razed, burned, or destroyed, they were not scraped off the ground for new construction. Instead, the new construction generally went on top of the old. Over time, this produced small hills for the cities and towns. When these towns were abandoned, those hills would […]

    Lesson 7 – Isaac and Links in a Chain

    Think for a moment about a heavy metal chain – the kind that holds up a heavy load. These are chains that get used to protect people from suspended items that are dangerously heavy. Which link is the most important? We come to this illustration as we discuss what Genesis teaches about Isaac. Isaac is […]

    Lesson 8 – Jacob and Faith – Part 1

    Faith is like racquetball in some ways, and yet, it is very different in others. Like racquetball, faith is a personal matter; it is not a team sport. Each of us has our individual faith walk with the Lord. There are times where we are on our game, where our intimacy with the Father is […]

    Lesson 8 – Jacob and Faith – Part 2

    Every story needs a protagonist (the hero), something the hero desperately wants (a quest), a danger faced by the hero, and a robust antagonist (the person we love to hate!). Do you know an antagonist? Perhaps a neighbor across the street, a co-worker, or maybe even a boss? In part two of our lesson on […]

    Lesson 9 – The Tribes of Israel

    There are parts of the Old Testament that are absolutely inspiring. Familiar stories, parts of Isaiah, and the Psalms and Proverbs are among them. The book of Nehemiah. Have you ever been guilty of “skipping over” some parts of the Old Testament that you thought were boring or simply did not understand? You are not […]

    Lesson 10 – Joseph: The Background Story

    There is no way to go back and relive an earlier moment. You can savor the moment in your memory, but you cannot relive it. Life has no rewind button. This is a pity in many ways. Wouldn’t it be nice if life had a rewind button. There are mistakes that could be fixed, good […]

    Lesson 11 – Joseph/Moses: Archeology and Egypt – Part 1

    In 1997, an annual research seminar was conducted at the University College in London, England. The subject was: The Origin of Early Israel—Current Debate: Biblical, Historical and Archaeological Perspectives. The study reflected a sharp division among scholars over the genesis of the Jews as a people. This division still exists among academics that argue for […]

    Lesson 12 – Moses

    Has your Christian walk experienced success AND failure? Sometimes our walk can be wonderful, exciting, and aw-inspiring. Sometimes, it can be miserable and difficult to endure. The problem really is not what we go through, it is our perspective of the One overseeing the journey. Simply put, God often works outside the things we can […]

    Lesson 11 – Joseph/Moses: Archeology and Egypt – Part 2

    Have you ever played the game of “Clue?” Clue is a logical deduction game where clues unfold helping you determine who committed the murder, which weapon was used, and where the murder was committed. “Colonel Mustard did it with a candlestick in the study” might be the answer. Or perhaps it was Professor Plum. As […]

    Lesson 11 – Joseph/Moses: Archeology and Egypt – Part 3

    A trip to the Cairo Museum feels like a visit to a movie set. You are transported immediately into an ancient world, where monuments, statues, and paintings stir up clear images of history from thousands and thousands of years ago. The most stunning and moving exhibit is the room of mummies. There is one mummy […]

    Lesson 13 – Exodus

    On the rugged steps of Mount Sinai, Helen, the mother of Constantine the Great, established an early Christian monastery. The building site was immediately adjacent to a bush that the local people believed to be the bush that “was burning, yet was not consumed” (Ex. 3:2). The exodus story is replete with events that foreshadow […]
