| | Revival - Rivers Of Living Water by Gerhard Du Toit
Topic: Revival Scripture(s): Genesis 22, Ezekiel 47 | | Description: We need to respond to the voice of God when he speaks! To ignore it is to lose unction. Abraham responded to God immediately when it came to sacrificing Isaac. The word comes in power, not when it reaches our emotions, but when the voice of God through his word reaches the bedrock of our will.

| | (Through The Bible) Genesis 19-20 by Chuck Smith
Topic: Expositional Scripture(s): Genesis 19-20 | | Description: Abraham pleads (intercedes) for God being just. God is always just. One of the ways Satan tries to lie to unbelievers is that how can God be just if people are suffering, etc. Abraham saw an inequity that it would not be right to judge the righteous with the wicked. But it must be remembered that Gods ways are higher then our ways and His thoughts higher to our thoughts. So therefore some things that seem to be unjust in our minds are just in the eyes of God. When the Church is persecuted that persecution is rooted in the world and the worldly system. Jesus said that as it is in the day of lot then it will be in the days of the Son of man. Peter also shows that lot was delivered and how much more can God deliver the godly in Christ Jesus that follow Him. Hospitality is extremely important in the culture of Abraham, etc. The women did a lot of work in those days towards fixing meals etc. To sit in the gate of a city was a place of honor and Lot was there. Know them = to know them in a sexual lewd manner. For Lot to sacrifice his 2 daughters (their virginity) speaks possibly of the low regard for women. It is really through Christianity that women have been given a more elevated place in society. In Greece which was a quite cultured society women were placed just above slaves in status.

| | (Genesis) - Part 27 by Zac Poonen
Topic: Judah Scripture(s): Genesis 38-40, Matthew 1:1-6 | | Description: Judah's backsliding and adultery with his daughter-in-law Tamar holds out warnings of ungodly association but also the mercy of God through Jesus' willingness to be identified with sinners. The tests of Joseph are the tests for every believer: submission to spiritual authority and keeping oneself pure. The "post-graduate" tests come when we can stand up under false accusation and suffer for the sins of others.

| | (Through The Bible) Genesis 42-45 by Chuck Smith
Topic: Expositional Scripture(s): Genesis 42-45 | | Description: Pharaoh had 2 dreams and was brought before the Pharaoh. Joseph interprets the dreams not of his own ability but out of the power and ability of God. Pharaoh was surprised with the way Joseph was able to interpret the dream so he made him 2nd in charge of all of Egypt. Joseph measured and kept the wheat in special places in Egypt. After 7 years of gathering food then the 7 years of famine began. It was not a local famine but rather a large spread famine that affected many areas outside of Egypt. The brothers were commanded by their father to go down to Egypt to get food. They seemed reluctant to go peradventure they run across their brother who they sold into Egypt slave hood, so possibly they had some bad feelings still for doing this. Benjamin replaced his younger brother Joseph so Israel gave more affection to him, so he had that favored position that once was hold by Joseph. So when the brothers went to Egypt Benjamin was kept home for that reason, lest mischief befall on him. It’s amazing to see Joseph in a place over his brothers again that they were bowing down to him. What a amazing faith Jospeh had to believe it before it came to pass those 21 years ago.

| | (Through The Bible) Genesis 13-14 by Chuck Smith
Topic: Expositional Scripture(s): Genesis 13-14 | | Description: God called himself the God of bethel meaning that he wanted Jacob to go back to his first place where he knew of God. It’s the same in revelation of us being called to go back to our first love. God always calls us back to the first things. It’s a tragic day when things wane and when we start to act like those things aren’t exciting as they used to be. God is working in our midst should be something of a conscious presence of every Christian. Before Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed the Dead Sea was inhabitable by fish and animals. Now in the present day the Dead Sea does not support life but is very rich in mineral wealth. Sin can be very exciting and thrilling and pleasurable, but it eventuates in death. The path of sin leads to death. In the ancient times they counted the amount of stars in the sky, which were approximately 6000+ (which were probably stars visible to the naked eye). Shinar = Babylon. 13= the number of Satan. Which is the number of rebellion. That is why 13 is considered an unlucky number. The number 13 is a very significant number in spiritism. In the tower of Babel they used pitch, which is another word for tar (oil). One person who read his bible thought about this and assumed if they had to get tar there much be oil in that land and therefore mined for oil and became very rich in the modern days.
