I hope everyone is staying healthy, I know the flu has been going around and my wife is down with it now.

This week we are going to be covering Abraham's death. We will be reading in Genesis 25:1-11 and answering question 14 and 15 on pages 146 and 147. I have included study notes for each of the questions. There is a lot here but if you are struggling with any of these questions it should help you out. Read More...

This week we are going to be looking at the continued promise of God. It is an interesting question why Abraham wanted to be bury Sarah in Canaan instead of Mesopotamia but it all has to do with God's sovereign will. The second question we will be examining is the story of Rebekah and who she is in the continued account of the Patriarchs.

We will continue with lesson 13 answering questions 12 and 13 on pages 145 and 146. Read More...

Here is some information on the following questions. There is some really good stuff on how Isaac is a shadow and type of Jesus. Great stuff! Read More...

This week we are going to be reading Chapters 22-25 in Genesis and answering questions 1-5 in lesson 13.

I have attached a sermon by George Whitefield 1714-1770. This sermon has a lot of good nuggets in it. I am also attaching at the bottom of this page some other commentaries on the specific verses in Chapter 22.

The great Apostle Paul, in one of his epistles, informs us, that "whatsoever was written aforetime was written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the holy scripture might have hope."
