Lesson 083 - Final Thoughts Jul 22, 2019

We have finished with the first step of God’s redemptive plan. There is more but we are going to take a break in order to consider what the next steps will be in revealing the rest of His plan. Also, I will give you my final thoughts for now. Enjoy.

Lesson 082 - Jesus Appears To His Disciples, Commissions Them & Returns To Heaven Jul 14, 2019

What more could be said than was said in the last lesson. The work of redemption was complete, God's promises were fulfilled, God won and Satan lost, as usual. So is this the end of the story? Not by a long shot.

Jesus had fulfilled all that His Father wanted Him to do but He was not finished yet. There was one more objective to accomplish and it was going to include another group of people. Let's see what He had in mind.

Lesson 081 - Jesus Is Crucified, Buried and Raised From the Dead Jul 07, 2019

The culmination of all that we have talked about for the last year and a half is happening. Everything that God said would happen is happening. Jesus is getting ready to bring about the central event and issue in all of human history. Nothing compares with the importance of what He is accomplishing for humanity.

All of people’s history and future depend on what happened at this moment. It is essential that you understand what God is trying to convince you of here. This is the center of reality and it is crucial that you understand what God is wanting you to understand. Take the time to do so and let it sink in today.

Lesson 080 - Jesus Is Arrested By His Enemies and Rejected By His Friends Jun 30, 2019

Knowing what you know about God's nature and character, how do you think that Jesus is going to handle the situation that He is in? How is He going to Deliver people from their sin and suffering?

Knowing what you know about people's nature and character, how do you think that they will handle Jesus' solution to the problem of sin? Once they find out what it will take to free mankind from the penalty and power of sin, how will they respond? Let's start talking about that.

Lesson 079 - Jesus Prepares For His Final Work Jun 23, 2019

The whole redemptive plan of God is getting ready to take place. What God promised way back in Genesis 3:15 is about to take place and I am sure that even though the disciples are anxious for this to take place, they probably were not ready for what it would cost.

Let's see what God wanted His Son to share with them before He finished the work that His Father sent Him to do.

Lesson 078 - Jesus Heals the Blind and Then Rides Into Jerusalem Jun 16, 2019

Right before Jesus rides into Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover, He heals a man. Even though He knew what was going to happen to Him, He still had compassion on those who suffered.

Jesus is loving, merciful and very gracious while being the One whom God promised would come to save mankind from the terrible curse of sin.

Lesson 077 - Even Death Is No Match For Jesus Jun 09, 2019

There were many "signs" which Jesus did that indicated just who He was in reality. Some of the people believed Him and some did not. Many probably believed that He was almost a magician and was just fooling the people or Himself but there was one sign which He would do that no one could dispute and anyone walking away from this event would either have to believe who He was or reject Him but they could not walk away from Him and not believe what He had done.

I trust that when you walk away from this lesson, you will come to the same conclusion that I did. Let's begin.

Lesson 076 - Jesus Illustrates the Consequences of Believing What Is True and What Is Not May 26, 2019

Many times Jesus used parables, which were stories to illustrate a particular theme He wanted people to understand.

Other times, He used real-life situations to also drive a particular theme home to His audiences heart. In today's lesson, Jesus is going to use both methods to help us understand who He is and who we are.

Lesson 075 - Jesus Contrasts Pride & Humility and God Reveals His Son To the Disciples May 19, 2019

Today's lesson contrasts the difference between pride & humility as exhibited by the Pharisees and those who were not. The Lord is giving us examples of man's inability to follow the rules which not only God had made but which the religious leaders made to explain the Law.

I also starts to also reveal who the disciples thought Jesus to be and who Jesus Himself revealed Himself to be. This will be a good lesson to remember because what Jesus claimed Himself to be is the central theme in Scripture.

Lesson 074 - Jesus Feeds 5,000, Walks On Water & Presents Himself As the Bread From Heaven May 12, 2019

Jesus not only amazed the people by the miracles that He performed but also by the truths He taught. His miracles amazed the people's senses but His truths challenged the people's hearts.

Sometimes He explained to people who He was by what He did and then at other times, He taught them who He was by what He said. Today's lesson is about some of those event. Showing and then teaching were His main avenues for presenting truth. Enjoy His life today and at the end, see which of the people you might identify with.

Lesson 073 - Jesus Calms the Storm, He Heals the Gadarene May 05, 2019

Jesus mastery over nature, spirits, creation and forgiveness must have been a shocker for the people who saw Him work. Who could do these things but God Himself? This was the dilemma, wasn't it?

The Deliverer was more than just a Savior from political tyranny. He also was over spiritual tyranny and He could provide freedom from spiritual slavery under Satan's rule. Let's see how He continued to handle situations as they came at Him.

Lesson 072 - The Parable of the Sower Apr 28, 2019

Jesus used many parables, examples and metaphors to illustrate certain truths when teaching the people. These illustrations helped the people to understand what He was saying but in many cases they were used to bring truths into the light where they revealed hidden motives and thoughts that people did not want others to know about.

Some people repented, some people hardened their hearts.

Today's lesson is one of the most famous of the parables and needs to be discussed in detail. It will help you to see why we have been teaching the way we have been and why we are taking so long to get to the gospel.

Lesson 071 - Jesus Foretells His Death, Burial & Resurrection - Some Believe, Some Do Not Apr 21, 2019

All through the Old Testament we see God telling the Israelites that He is going to do something for them or against them in keeping with His word that He would bless them if they obeyed Him or punish them if they didn't. Now He sends His Son as the promised Deliverer and some people believe Him and some do not.

Let's see how Jesus dealt with and responded to His declarations of Himself.

Lesson 070 - Jesus Had Power To Forgive Sin and Heal Sickness Apr 14, 2019

So many times people make wrong conclusions about a situation because they have a faulty or false view of the nature of God. Some think He came to destroy a world when He came to save a world. Some think that He sent His Son to heal their physical situation when He came to heal us of our spiritual condition.

Today's lesson should shed some more light into God's true purpose in sending His Son into this world.

Lesson 069 - Jesus Taught That People Must Be Born Again Apr 07, 2019

Think what it must have been like for some to be around when the Deliverer came upon the scene. Wouldn't you like to have asked Him some questions? Wouldn't you have loved to sit down with Him and have a conversation with Him?

This lesson is a written record of one of those conversations. We are flies on the wall, so to speak, of a very important conversation. Let's listen in.

Lesson 068 - Jesus Begins His Ministry Mar 31, 2019

Have you ever wondered what people in the Old Testament thought about the Deliverer, what their perception was concerning Him?

I have often wondered how I would have viewed His coming into the world. Fortunately for us, God has given us an accurate record of this event and His ministry. It will be really encouraging to see the Deliverer in action. Enjoy the lesson.

Lesson 067 - Jesus Resists Satan's Temptations Mar 24, 2019

Sometimes we think that because we are human and Jesus was God the Son, things must have been difficult for Him but not as difficult as it is for us. After all, He had a perfect nature and there was no way for Him to do anything wrong, right?

At least one person did not make this assumption but was this person's conclusion correct? The following lesson will tell us.

Lesson 066 - God Sent John To Teach and To Baptize Mar 17, 2019

"God with us!" What a statement. That God would choose to dwell with men and be a Savior is beyond belief.

I trust that in this lesson we can start to see the immense sacrifice that the Savior endured in order to save mankind. Enjoy the lesson.

Lesson 065 - God Protects and Guides Jesus, the Deliverer Mar 10, 2019

Throughout history, there have been men who have appeared on the scene and proclaimed to be "saviors." They led people to believe that they could deliver people from all sorts of things.

Now, God is sending a true Savior and how does He send Him? With pomp and circumstance? With great fanfare? With announcements to the whole earth? No! He sends Him through a single, unmarried virgin who gives birth in a stable. Sometimes we wonder why God does things the way He does but He has a purpose and it will all be revealed in due time.

Lesson 064 - God Fulfills His Promise and Sends Jesus, the Deliverer Mar 03, 2019

Finally! The Deliverer has come to the human race. The One promised to Adam and Eve, Abraham & David has finally appeared.

4,000 years has passed but God kept His promise. He wasn't delayed in keeping His promise but when "the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the Law." - Gal. 4:4.

Do you imagine that everyone was going to receive this promised One?

Do you think that everyone was going to be overjoyed at His presence?

Lesson 063 - God's Angel Explains To Joseph How Jesus Will Be Born Feb 24, 2019

What an amazing God He is. For four thousand years He has been promising that a Redeemer would be provided to take care of the penalty of man's sin. Now, He is on the verge of fulfilling that promise. So many had waited for this without ever having seen the promise fulfilled but now, He is showing that He is keeping His word.

I trust that you will think of previous lessons when going over this one. He is the faithful Creator who will always do what He says He will do

Lesson 062 - God Fulfills His Promise In the Birth of John Feb 17, 2019

God has been a faithful God throughout history. Often we think of God’s faithfulness in terms of what good He can do for us but if you really look at what faithfulness means, it is that God always does what He says He will do, whether we like the results or not but we should always remember that God will never do anything that is not for our benefit. We want to talk about one of those benefits today.

Lesson 061 – God Foretells the Births of John and Jesus Feb 10, 2019

Remember when we were little kids and we couldn't wait until Christmas when we could open our presents? Most of us were not waiting an entire year but we sure got excited once the Christmas tree when up. We wanted to know what we were getting so that we could enjoy it until the next Christmas, but not long after Christmas, we would soon forget.

I wonder how many times throughout the Old Testament people were wondering when the Deliverer would come and then forget and not worry about it anymore. Many probably thought that God did not care and that He was only an impersonal god like all of the gods of the surrounding nations.

We have the benefit of hindsight. We know what happened and when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the Law.

Today's lesson talks about this very thing. God is faithful and no one can stop Him from being so.

Lesson 060 - God Judges Israel and Judah But Brings Back Some of His People From Assyria and Babylon Feb 03, 2019

I am getting really excited. God gave us a record of His interaction with mankind right from the beginning. He has shown us how patient He is and also how good and gracious He is to those who refuse His goodness. At the same time, He has also shown us that He is not someone whom we can treat any way that we want. He is God and there is not another god.

Thank you all for being so patient as I prepare these lessons. I trust that in the future, they can be a blessing to you and others as you minister to them.

Lesson 059 - God Tells the Prophets To Write Many Things About the Coming Deliverer Jan 27, 2019

God is unique among all that He has created but remember, He is in a category all His own. He is the only One who knows the future because He is eternal. He sees and knows everything that there is to know whether it has happened already or not. This could cause two reactions; great fear or great comfort. Fear, because everything will come to pass just as He said. Comfort, for the same reason. It all depends on who God is.

If He is only a God of wrath and judgment, then great fear will be the result because all a person can see is a Lake of Fire awaiting them. If He is only a God of love and mercy, then great comfort is the natural conclusion because all a person sees is Heaven, but to believe either of these views to the exclusion of the other is to lead to great deception. God is both a God of great wrath, and great mercy. Accepting both of these views leads to another conclusion; choice.

All through the Old Testament you have seen a series of choices and you have also seen God's character. Soon, we will discover how God is going to reconcile these two seemingly opposing views that people have of Him.

Lesson 058 - God Chooses Jonah and Other Men To Be His Messengers To Israel Jan 20, 2019

Wow! Time sure seems to hurry on. At the end of this lesson, we will have covered about 3,500 years of history, but not God's history, man's. I am sure that many thought God had forgotten them and was not going to bring His promise to pass. We need to be patient. He is a faithful God and He does nothing without purpose. He is not working on mankind's timetable but His own. Let's see what happens next.

Lesson 057 - God Chooses David To Be King - Solomon Builds the Temple Jan 13, 2019

Saul is now the king of Israel because Israel wanted an earthly king in the place of the heavenly kingship of God. This lesson will show that there are always tradeoffs when making a choice.

Lesson 056 - God Leads Israel Into Canaan and Chooses Their Kings and Leaders Jan 06, 2019

We will be going through several hundreds of years of history in this lesson. Remember, God has not forgotten His promise to send a Deliverer, even though many never lived to see Him in person. He is a faithful Lord whose plan cannot be derailed.

Lesson 055 - The Bronze Serpent Dec 30, 2018

God continued to provide ways for Israel to realize that their only hope was Him. All they had to do was admit that they were sinners and come to Him in the way He prescribed and He would bless them as He promised them He would.

Throughout the Scriptures we see many pictures, metaphors that God provided in order to help Israel understand their need of a Deliverer. Today's lesson is going to be one of them. Let's see how God and Israel handle this situation.

Lesson 054 - God Provides During Israel’s Wilderness Wanderings Dec 23, 2018

Over and over again I am challenged to evaluate my life in light of the Israelites. Their hearts were deceived because they did not recognize that they were descendants of Adam and Eve.

Sure, they must have admitted that they were their ancestors, but only in the physical sense. They did not see themselves as spiritual descendants of Adam.

As we read these lessons, it is important to realize our spiritual heritage also. Adam has infected all of us and these historical events verify that what God says is true.

Lesson 053 - Israel's Response To God's Promise To Abraham Dec 16, 2018

God is a gracious God. He also is patient and One who provides everything that people need to live enjoyable lives. He also is a God who is just and keeps His promises.

This is important to realize because it shows that God can be counted on to act the same, no matter what the situation.

Do you think that Israel can be counted on now to keep their promise to God? Let's see.

Lesson 052 - Israel's Response To God's Law Dec 09, 2018

We have seen God's goodness to Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and his family, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses. The children of Israel had all of this history to reflect upon to help them trust and thank a gracious God.

He had delivered them from bondage, delivered them, fed them and protected them. Let's see how they repaid God's kindness to them.

Lesson 051 – God Instructs Israel To Build A Tabernacle Dec 02, 2018

Last week’s lesson was a bit depressing. The requirements for approaching God were impossible to keep but because God is merciful and gracious, He provided a way for the people of Israel to come to Him admitting that they were sinners and also providing a way of escape from judgment.

The Ten Commandments were meant to show the Israelites that they could never approach God on their terms. He wanted them to realize that in order to please God, they had to come to Him on His terms alone.

This lesson will move us ahead in the story and show us the way God chose to have Israel approach Him. It will also reveal His holiness and mercy.

Lesson 050 - God Gives the Ten Commandments (8-10) Nov 25, 2018

In the first four commands, God lays out His requirements for the proper relationship with Him. They are absolute and final. There is to be no variation from His righteous demands. Our allegiance is to be only to Him and not to anything that He has created or anything that man or spirit has devised.

In the next three commands, God shows us what our relationships are to be to each other. We are to honor our parents, not murder or commit adultery. Not only are these commands to be obeyed in action but also from the heart. The penalty for violating these commands is death, eternal separation from God forever.

Now, let’s see what the last three commands are that God wants us to know about.

Lesson 049 - God Gives the Ten Commandments (5-7) Nov 18, 2018

Many times, when I write lessons, I am tempted to soften them because of the issues involved in the lessons. God would not be pleased or honored if it was too soft or too harsh. We need to speak the truth in love and share what God wants shared because He believes that they are important, not us.

I trust that in these three lessons, you will understand that I believe that they are important truths that we all need to know. They have been very convicting for me and I certainly do not point fingers at anyone without standing in front of a mirror pointing at the one standing there first.

I pray that the Lord will drive home His understanding of the passages to you as He does to me also.

Lesson 048 - God Gives the Ten Commandments (1-4) Nov 11, 2018

The next few lessons are going to be pretty heavy. It is very important to understand the importance of the Law and its relevance to our lives. I trust that the Lord will open up our understanding and help us to grasp clearly the Lord's intentions concerning the Ten Commandments.

Lesson 047 - God Prepares Israel For Receiving the Ten Commandments (Part 2) Nov 04, 2018

The people of Israel were just like us, weren't they? God shows us the reason for the Law and all of us have been found lacking in our ability to keep it.

Today's lesson should help in our preparation for hearing what God's righteous demands are concerning His Law.

Lesson 046 - God Prepares Israel For Receiving the Ten Commandments (Part 1) Oct 28, 2018

The next few lessons are so important in our understanding of our relationship with our Creator. I trust that what you learn here will challenge you to think of your response to God's goodness and grace. Through a proper understanding of the Law, we learn to see ourselves from God's perspective but we also need to learn to see God from His own perspective. May He guide you in your understanding of Himself and yourselves.

Lesson 045 - Israel Responds To God's Redemption Oct 21, 2018

I trust that these lessons will give you an idea of how much God cares for His people. At the same time, there is responsibility with that privilege and also consequences. I trust that the Lord will give you good insight into His character and also good insight into our own hearts.

Lesson 044 - God Delivers Israel Oct 14, 2018

God's plans are not always what we would like but He will carry them out. It is good for us to remember this as we continue on through these lessons. God always knows what is best for us and if only we would listen to Him rather than doing things the hard way we would find true contentment and joy. I trust that you will see that God always wants us to believe and follow Him but if we choose to go our own way, then we will reap the rewards of our decision. I pray that you make the right decision.

Lesson 043 - God Sends One Final Plague On Egypt & Delivers Israel Oct 07, 2018

The culmination of Pharaoh's pride and rebellious heart are evident in this lesson. His actions resulted in the destruction of a nation. No person's choices affect only themselves but all those around them and the greater the authority, the greater the consequence. Just as Pharaoh, who was the leader of his country, affected all those under him, so Moses' choice affected his country also. His leadership saved a country while Pharaoh's leadership destroyed his. Since Pharaoh depended on his own resources, then all he could expect was his results. Moses, on the other hand, depended on God's resources and God was the One who fought for Israel. Pay careful attention to the choices of these two men.

Lesson 042 - God Reveals To Israel and Egypt That He Is the True and Living God Sep 30, 2018

God certainly is an awesome God. He desires that all people understand who He is and allow Him to be their God but many times people will not allow Him to do so. One thing to always remember is that God is God and will not allow anyone to assume His position. Today's lesson is an example of His supremacy and sovereignty over everything that exists.

Lesson 041 - God Prepares His Messenger To Deliver Israel Sep 23, 2018

The Bible has so much information that needs to be discovered and understood. Too many of us look at God on a superficial level. It is my desire in these lessons that we see the uniqueness and majesty of who God is. Only then will we see His right to set the guidelines of His creation.

Lesson 040 - Israel Is Enslaved in Egypt - God Chooses Moses To Deliver Israel Sep 16, 2018

Once again we jump ahead in history about 350 years. There are many times when it seems that God just doesn't show Himself. He is behind the scenes working out everything according to His plan and purpose. Today's lesson is the next step in that process.

I trust that you will be amazed at God's patience and planning as you move ahead in HIStory.

Lesson 039 - Review of Genesis Sep 09, 2018

We need to stop here for just a bit and review what we have learned in this book called, Genesis. It is the story of beginnings; the beginnings of the world, the universe, animals, people, languages, oceans, land, plants, sin, religion, species, Israel, etc. Let's stop and reflect on that for just a bit before we move onto the next phase.

Lesson 038 - God Continues His Redemptive Plan Through Joseph - Part 4 Sep 02, 2018

The story of Joseph's life humbles and encourages. God entrusted Joseph with a great responsibility and Joseph was faithful in that responsibility. He was one in whom God could rely to see that the line of the Redeemer would be carried on. Even though Joseph was not in the line of the Deliverer, he was used to protect it and see that God would fulfill His promise given in Gen. 3:15.

Lesson 037 - God Continues His Redemptive Plan Through Joseph - Part 3 Aug 26, 2018

What will happen now that Joseph is brought before Pharaoh? Will he live? Will he die? Will he be able to fulfill Pharaoh's request? Will God fail Joseph? Let's see what God did through Joseph's imprisonment and his brothers treachery.

Lesson 036 - God Continues His Redemptive Plan Through Joseph - Part 2 Aug 19, 2018

Every time I read this story I see God's hand in everything that He does. He does not forget His promises and never does anything that is not for our benefit. I trust that as you see God working in Joseph's life, you will be able to see what a faithful God He is. Thank you for taking time to listen to these lessons.

Lesson 035 - God Continues His Redemptive Plan Through Joseph Aug 12, 2018

God has been so faithful over the course of this study. He has always done what He said He will do. Today's lesson starts one of the most remarkable events in human history and how one man responded to God's dealings with his life. I trust that after this event, you will be able to see God's faithfulness in your life also.

Lesson 034 - God Continues His Redemptive Plan Through Isaac and Jacob Aug 05, 2018

God sure is patient, isn't He? Does it make you wonder sometimes why God doesn't just give up on us? Well, this is why He is God and we are not. He is not only omniscient, omnipresent, gracious and loving but He is also very patient. He fulfills His plan in His time.

Thank you all for being faithful in these lessons. I trust that in the long run, the Lord will use them to encourage others. Keep pressing on for His name's sake.

Lesson 033 - God Provides An Acceptable Sacrifice Jul 29, 2018

Throughout history there have been significant events that have taken place. This is one of them. Abraham is being asked to do something that had never been asked by God before. Is he up to the challenge? Is his faith in God able to overcome his fear of the consequences? Let's see what happened.

Lesson 032 - God Fulfills His Promise To Abraham and Tests Him Jul 22, 2018

God continues to amaze us. He not only makes promises but He fulfills them, always. In this lesson we will see that what God says, He does. This is quite refreshing in the light of the world's ability to keep its promises. Thank you so much for reading these lessons and I trust that they will be a blessing to you and to others.

Lesson 031 - God Destroys the Cities & Plains Near Zoar Jul 15, 2018

Today's lessons should be a sobering reminder that God will not be mocked and that He always does what He says He will do. While He is just toward those who will not listen to Him, He is also just toward those who agree with Him.

Lesson 030 - God Renews His Promise To Abram Jul 08, 2018

This lesson finishes up the first half of the Old Testament, chronologically speaking. As you can see, God has not forgotten His promise to Adam and Eve, even though a little over 2,000 years have passed. It is good to be able to see a faithful God in action. Consider this as you remember what God has revealed so far.

Lesson 029 - Abram & Lot Make A Choice Jul 01, 2018

Thomas Sowell once said that when a situation arises that demands a choice, there are no solutions, only trade-offs. What I believe he meant was that with each decision there is a consequence. No matter what choices we have to make, there will always be a consequence attached to that decision. In today's lesson, choices are going to be made that will have profound consequences. Let us learn from these choices and use them to help guide us in our understanding of God and ourselves.

Lesson 028 - God Chooses, Calls & Guides Abram Jun 24, 2018

We have come a long way in the history of God's Redemptive plan. Almost 2,100 years have passed since God created Adam and Eve. If you or I had been alive at this time I am sure that we would have wondered what was taking God so long to send the Deliverer.

God is not rushed by anyone. He takes His time and does everything according to His perfect plan. Let's see what the next step in this plan is.

Lesson 027 - God Scatters the Nations Jun 17, 2018

It seems that no matter what God does or how much He desires to be a blessing to mankind, people just seem to reject the One who created them. God brought judgment on Adam, Cain and the people in the time of Noah. Would they now learn their lesson and believe that He means what He says? Let's see how man listens to his Creator after the Flood.

Lesson 026 - God Delivers Noah & His Family Jun 10, 2018

Will God deliver Noah and his family from the judgment that He brought onto the world? If they were floating in the ocean, how were they going to going to survive once the food ran out and how could they know that God was going to keep His word and keep the line of the Deliverer going? Let's see.

Lesson 025 - God Destroys the World But Saves Noah & His Family Jun 03, 2018

Satan thought he was going to win in Heaven, but he failed. Satan thought he was going to defeat God in the Garden of Eden, but he failed. Satan thought he was going to win outside the Garden with Cain & Abel, but he failed. How about this time? Will he finally put a stop to God's plan to send a Deliverer to defeat Satan? Will he thwart God's plan to redeem mankind? Let's see what happens.

Lesson 024 - God Warns the World May 27, 2018

God now has two family lines heading out from Adam & Eve; Cain & Seth. What will be the result of these two family groups moving on in history? Will some their descendants follow God and how many? What do you think?

Lesson 023 - God Rejects Cain but Not His Promise May 20, 2018

How quickly man's choice to follow his own thinking can change himself and everyone around him. Cain & Abel's decision to approach God may not have had the immediate results that we think that they should have but God cannot be unjust. He is both gracious and just at the same time. What will be the consequence of their different styles of approaching God?

Lesson 022 - God Accepts Abel and His Offering but Rejects Cain and His Offering May 13, 2018

Religion or faith: Which of these two please God? In this lessons we will discover God's view of worship and faith and the results of coming to God on His terms or ours.

Lesson 021 - God Provides & Judges May 06, 2018

Mankind is unfit to approach God in a less than perfect condition. But what does God require to approach Him? How can a just God show mercy to flawed human beings and be just at the same time? Today's lesson will start laying the foundation for this issue.

Lesson 020 - God Judges & Provides Apr 29, 2018

God's judgment and promise are revealed in this lesson. The perfect environment has been marred by the disobedience of Adam and Eve and now they must face the consequences of their actions. What will God reveal?

Lesson 019 - God Confronts Adam & Eve Apr 22, 2018

How do Adam and Eve respond to God when He approaches them about their eating the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil? What does this story reveal about the characteristics of the three main figures (God, people & Satan) in this event? Let's see.

Lesson 018 - Adam & Eve Make A Choice Apr 15, 2018

Adam and Eve are faced with the greatest challenge of their existence. Will they choose to obey the One who created them or will they choose to follow their own desires? Let's see what happens.

Lesson 017 - Satan Tempts Eve Apr 08, 2018

Eve is confronted with the greatest adversary a person could possibly have. How she responds to the trial will set the stage for all of human history. What will she do?

Lesson 016b - Review Questions (Creation & Mankind) Apr 04, 2018

The second of two sets of review questions covering what has been taught from Genesis 1:1 to the creation of the man and the woman. This lessons deals with the Creation itself and the creation of the man, the woman and the environment that they lived in.

Lesson 016a - Review Questions (The Bible, God & Spirits) Apr 01, 2018
