Genesis 12-31

January 10, 2024 • Dr. Derrick Wilson • Genesis 12—31

Genesis 11:10–31:42

Main Idea: God established a covenant with one man (Abraham), and his family, through which God would bless and bring restoration to all the peoples of the earth.

5 P’s – Purpose, Perspective, Patience, Process, Prayer

Process – Comprehension (what happened), Interpretation (what does it mean, why is it recorded, why is it recorded in this location), Application (how can I apply to my life)

b. Where else do we read about him?

4) Gen 15:1–6; Gen 17:9–14

a. Where in the NT are these two passages highlighted?

5) Gen 27:1–13

6) What about the firstborns?

a. Cain then Abel/Seth

b. Ishmael then Isaac

c. Esau then Jacob

d. Leah then Rachel

e. Reuben then many, including Joseph

Summary Statement: In the pages of Genesis, we see the story of God playing out in the first several generations. What God had created as very good in Gen 1–2, man had corrupted by falling into sin up through Gen 11. But then, God established his covenant with Abraham and the family that He promised to him. Barrenness (Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel) and brokenness (even the people in this family are messed up) of these people did not thwart the purpose of God.

Chronicles

May 15, 2024

Chronicles Main Point: The Chronicler looked back on Israel’s history and looked with anticipation to the coming of Messiah, the future Temple, and the return of the people of God from exile. Texts to Consider 1 Chronicles 2:1–15 David is of crucial importance to the author of Chronicles. Why might that be? 1 Chronicles 9:1–3 When is the book of Chronicles written? Also, the emphasis seems to be on ____________ and _____________. 1 Chronicles 17:1–15 This text sounds familiar, have I read this before? 1 Chronicles 23:1–2 This doesn’t sound familiar, have I read this before? 2 Chronicles 7:11–22 I know I’ve heard part of this before, but what is the context? The listing of kings in Chronicles is a little different than what is found in Kings, why? 2 Chronicles 36:17–23 This is the end of the Hebrew Bible. What might that suggest?

2 Kings

May 1, 2024

In this teaching Bro. Derrick covers 2 Kings. Main Idea: The kings of Israel and Judah were largely disobedient and unfaithful to the covenant of Yahweh. As a result, the destruction of both the northern and southern kingdoms and exile was a result.

1 Kings through Elijah's story

April 17, 2024 • Dr. Derrick Wilson • 1 Kings

1 Kings Main Point: The books of 1–2 Kings continue the story of the people of Yahweh moving forward from the eternal promise given from Yahweh to David in 2 Samuel 7. The Messianic King would come through the line of David to fulfill the promises made to Abram in Genesis 12 and rule over the nations. Unfortunately, the kings found in the books of 1–2 Kings fall way short of this expectation. Historical Timeline Reign of Saul over United Kingdom of Israel – 1020–1000 BC Reign of David over United Kingdom of Israel – 1000–961 BC Reign of Solomon over United Kingdom of Israel – 961–922 BC Fall of Samaria and Northern Kingdom of Israel to Assyria – 722 BC Fall of Jerusalem and Southern Kingdom of Judah to Babylon – 587 BC Texts to Consider: · 1 Kings 2:1–4 With David’s instructions to Solomon, he echoes what other passages from Scripture? · 1 Kings 6:1–2, 37–38 How long did it take for the Temple to be constructed during the reign of Solomon? The use of trees and fruit (particularly pomegranates) invokes what location? · 1 Kings 8:46–61 What stands out about Solomon’s prayer of dedication of the Temple? · 1 Kings 9:1–9 What does the LORD say to Solomon after his building of the Temple, prayer of dedication, and benediction over the people of Israel? · 1 Kings 11:1–13 Now what has happened with Solomon? · 1 Kings 11:26–40, 12:25–29 Jeroboam, son of Nebat, is established as a king of a divided kingdom. Then, what did he do? · 1 Kings 18:20–19:18 Elijah, during and after his confrontation with Ahab, Jezebel, and the prophets of Baal, can teach us many things. What do you think he learned?
