Genesis
Finishing Our Life Well
December 7, 2023 • Lisa Laizure • Genesis 47:29—50:26
What will matter on your deathbed? Sounds a little morbid, but think about right before you take your last breath - will you be thinking about God’s kingdom and heaven or thinking about your kingdom and how sad you are to leave this earth? This week Jacob and Joseph will leave the pages of Scripture and we will learn why it matters that we end well.
Even in Egypt, God Had a Plan
November 30, 2023 • Genesis 46:1—47:28
Sometimes we get confused when God moves us, especially when it doesn’t make any sense. Today we will see how this plays out as Jacob and his family have to move from Israel to Egypt and what we learn is this: no matter what is going on in our life, God is with us. God has a plan. God is always working behind the scenes. Join us today as we continue through Genesis.
Hamas. Hezbollah. Iran.
November 11, 2023 • Joel Richardson & Lisa Laizure
With everything going on in Israel with Hamas Iran and Hezbollah does that have anything to do with End Times? Is this the beginning of the end? What should we be looking out for next on the prophetic timeline? Today I will talk to Joel Richardson and he will answer these questions for us.
Israel, Gaza, Hamas and Reframing Your Hurt
October 12, 2023 • Lisa Laizure • Genesis 45
The war in Israel with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Is this the beginning of the End Times? For the first few minutes of our lesson, we will talk about what is going on in Israel and then we will move into our normal Lesson with this: someone hurt us. We can’t get over it. Today we will see how we actually CAN get over it and why the Bible says we MUST get over it. We will see this in our lesson as Joseph finally reveals to his brothers who he really is and he does so with the message of forgiveness in his heart.
Life is like a PUZZLE
September 21, 2023 • Genesis 42:36—44:34
Life is like a puzzle. Each event in our life is like a piece of that puzzle. But if we don’t have a picture of what the puzzle is supposed to look like ahead of time, we can be confused. Today we will learn that God can see the whole picture. We can’t, so that means most of our lives will mean living out our puzzle by faith! Join us as we continue our study in the book of Genesis and how this plays out with Joseph.
FAITH Grows MOST in the DIFFICULT Days
May 17, 2023 • Lisa Laizure • Genesis 41:1—42:8
Some of you are going through really difficult days. Tragedy. Heartache. Pain But here is what we will learn today. Our faith grows most in the darkest, most difficult times in our life. Faith doesn’t flourish in the good days. Faith flourishes when we see God’s hand in the midst of our trials. Join us today as we see how this plays out in the life of Joseph.
When Life Takes a Turn for the WORSE
April 26, 2023 • Lisa Laizure • Genesis 37:1–35
We all have times when life changes for the worse. Today as we begin talking about Joseph we will learn from him that no matter how bad things get God has not forgotten you. God is intricately involved in your life. Things may not make sense now but God is always up to something!
Genesis 33:1-34:17 Someday I Will Come Back to Jesus.
April 5, 2023 • Lisa Laizure • Genesis 33:1—34:17
Jacob was on his way back home where his faith could flourish but instead he stopped along the way. That was a bad decision for him and his family but I think we have all done that at some point in our life. We stop going to church. Stop reading our Bible. Stop growing in our faith. But then there are the consequences...
MAN IN WHITE... In Dreams... In Person... IS THIS JESUS?
March 29, 2023 • Lisa Laizure • Genesis 32:24–32
God stepped out of heaven to have a wrestling match with Jacob but who was this? A pre incarnate Jesus? What does that mean? And if this was Jesus - is He the One showing up in the Middle East in dreams in a white robe? Is He the One helping people under the rubble of earthquakes and showing up in nations where Bibles are not available? What does the Bible say about this? Join us today for a very important lesson!
