Rebekah’s Plan to Deceive Isaac We just finished walking through This story, and it was the story of how the son of Avraham imitates the deception of his father, Avraham, in deceiving foreign kings, and potentially bringing curse and disaster on the nations instead of blessing. And so remember, in our…
Yitskhaq’s Conflict With Abimelech 15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with earth. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are too powerful for us.” 17 And Isaac departed from there and…
Introduction Ephesians 6:18-20 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the…
Isaac Deceives Abimelech The literary design of this unit has been carefully crafted to invite the reader into a meditation on how the children repeat the story of their parents, and how God’s choice of this family means that God’s justice and mercy will also repeat through the generations. 1 There was…
Introduction Life is full of risk. Every decision you make involves some level of uncertainty. The job you take, the investments you make, the people you trust, the ministry you step into—all of it has a cost. Some of us are risk-takers by nature. Others want to avoid risk at all costs. But here in Ecclesiastes…
Jacob Tricks Esau 27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 When Jacob had cooked stew, Esau came in from the field and he was famished;…
The Birth of Esau and Jacob The Literary Design of the Yaaqov Story The Jacob story goes from Genesis 25:19 - 37:1 It goes from chapter 25, verse 19. So do you remember how the seven-day narrative in Genesis 1 and 2, the chapter divisions that came much later, they're kind of amiss 'cause the seventh…
Introduction There is an old saying: “As goes the leader, so goes the people.” History is full of examples of nations flourishing under wise leadership—and collapsing under foolish rule. It is one of the leading themes in Parts of the Bible. Koheleth (the Teacher) gives us a picture of what happens when…
Jacob: Introduction Jacob is actually not how anybody in his family would've ever pronounced his name. In Hebrew, this figure's name is Yaaqov Yaaqov. Yaaqov, grandson of Avraham, takes up this third section of the Genesis scroll, though interestingly, he is actually the character who receives the most…
Introduction – A Wake-Up Call You Can’t Ignore My wife always teases me. I fall asleep hard for about 3 hours. You can drive a truck through our house and I wouldn’t hear it. But there are some “wake-up calls” that you can’t ignore — the smoke detector going off, your child screaming “Dad!” in the middle…
Not Chosen But Blessed Let's think through the cycle. The Eden's been planted. The wife, the ezer, has been provided. And so what I'm expecting is maybe something that's disappointing, some sort of mistake or tragedy that's going to lead to division, strife. 1 Now Abraham took another wife, whose name…
Introduction Let me ask you: have you ever been in such a rush to finish something that you skipped over a basic precaution and paid the price for it later? Maybe you were putting together a piece of furniture, ignored the instructions, and ended up with five extra screws and a shelf upside down. Or…
Isaac’s Marriage to Rebekah This is the last stop before Abraham is sent the the grave. Today we are going to be with Rivqah. Remember here name is the sounds of the work “blessing” in Hebrew, with the letters mixed up. And we're gonna follow her on her Abraham-like journey to the land of the new Eden.…
Introduction: The Danger of Small Things Small things can cause big problems. A single spark can start a forest fire. One missed detail can derail a mission. And, as Ecclesiastes 10 opens, a few dead flies can ruin a whole bottle of expensive perfume. This isn’t just about hygiene—it’s about how a little…
Sarah’s Tomb as a Mini Eden This story is designed with three major sections. There's a little opener, there's a long dialogue in the center, and then there's a little concluder. The dialogue itself has three parts, with a little fourth part that concludes the dialogue. 1 Now Sarah lived 127 years; these…
Introduction: The Quiet Strength That Goes Unseen In a world that celebrates loud success, celebrity, and brute strength, Ecclesiastes reminds us: wisdom—though often quiet and overlooked—is a treasure beyond measure. But it’s also fragile. Ecclesiastes 9:13–18 13 I also saw under the sun this example…
Blessing for the Next Generation A Heroine From the Non-Chosen Family 20 Now it came about after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: 21 Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother and Kemuel the father of Aram 22 and Chesed and Hazo…
Introduction: Joy in a World of Shadows Have you ever been so overwhelmed by life that joy seemed... out of reach? You wake up, go through your routines, shuffle through responsibilities — but joy feels like a luxury, or worse, a distraction. Ecclesiastes understands that. It doesn't ignore death, suffering,…
Abraham Surrenders Isaac Still in that test moment the Genesis 3 place 4 On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. 5 Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.” 6 Abraham took…
Introduction: There’s a strange comfort and a haunting chill that comes when we hear the words: “The same event happens to the righteous and the wicked.” Koheleth is pulling no punches. Everyone dies. This fact levels us—it humbles kings and commoners, it erases fame, and it silences ambition. Death…
