One of my favorite stories is the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the children are talking about the Christ-like figure, Aslan the Lion. The conversation goes, “Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh,” said Susan. “I’d thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? IContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)”

There seem to be evil men in every generation. Pharaoh of Egypt, as we will read, committed terrible acts because of jealousy and fear of God’s people.

We will reap what we sowContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#13)”

Trouble was in the house of Isaac. God already told Isaac and his wife, Rebekah, that their twin sons would strive for dominance and that the older would serve the younger.

How did the Old Testament people receive salvation? Is Jesus Plan B? These two questions are given solid answers in this chapter.

Learning another language can be hard. In our text today, however, we learn that humanity shared a common language. After an act of rebellion before God, we lost that gift. God has ways of reminding us that we are not in control, but that He is. Read Genesis 11:1-9 This passage unveils basic human needs. TheseContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#5)”
