    The first sermon from the Book of Ruth showed us the effects of sin on a family that did not trust God for their DIRECTIONS or PROVISIONS.

    Look at verse 1 again, we read, “Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.” Look at the words “Bethlehemjudah” and “Moab.” • Bethlehem ...read more

    Jesus before he left gave believers this incredible prayer.

    CHRIST’S prayer was for a special people. He declared that he did not offer an universal intercession. "I pray for them," said he.

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 40 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 17, 2011
     | 5,723 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. What happened in Genesis 39? So Joseph winds up in jail for a crime that he did not commit. This seems to be cruel and ...read more
