Assignment for April 3, 2019

Review the assignments from March 13th and 20th.  We will review these and move into Genesis 4.

Consider the differences in the offerings of Cain and Abel. (Ha! Spelled it correctly Cindy 😋)
Look at them from every angle and ask Holy Spirit to give you some keys as to why one was acceptable and one was not.

Look up the definitions of:
favor
downcast
desires

There is a Bible Study principle I call "1st Mention."  The first time the Bible mentions a new topic we need to take notice and ask what the significance of it is.

In Genesis 4 we have the 1st mention of 3 major sins.  What are they?

Assignment for March 20, 2019

Continue reading Genesis 3 & 4

We began looking at Romans 5:12-21 and 1 Corinthians 15:21, 45.
So far, our comparison chart between Adam and Jesus looks like this:

          Adam                                                                      Jesus

      sin entered                                                                   gift 
         death                                                                       grace
        infected                                                               justification
        pattern                                                               righteousness
      judgment                                                              reign in life
   condemnation
       trespass

We will pick up at Romans 5:19 this week. Keep working on your lists.

This is a VERY dense portion of Scripture. Part of learning how to study the Bible is learning how to unpack these dense sections.  Slowing down, reading carefully and writing notes is a good way to do this.

Please read both chapters.

Some discoveries we made.

Gen 2:25-  no shame and unclothed
Gen 3:21-  shame and had to be clothed by God

God told Adam and Eve that if they ate of the forbidden fruit they would surely die.
Gen 3:21-  What was the 1st manifestation that showed that death had entered creation?

Read Romans 5:12-21 and 1 Corinthians 15:21 and 45.
Take a piece of paper and make 2 columns. One for Adam and one for Jesus.
Write down everything you find in these verses that pertains to each one.  We will compare and contrast them in class.

Genesis 4-  What differences are there between the offerings of Cain and Able?

Assignment for January 16, 2019

Last week we looked at the first thing God created- Light. Here is the full spectrum of all the light waves God created. We can only see a sliver of the light that exists. 


Light is a physical manifestation of God's nature. He is light. His light guided all that He created. 

As we continue looking at the days of creation in Genesis chapter 1:

1.  Look for words or phrases that are repeated throughout the chapter. Write them down with the number of times they are used in chapter 1.
2.  Look up these words in an English dictionary:
     Let
     Good
3.  Remember, the 2 things you can do that will help you to get the most out of our time together are:
     
     - Do the homework
     - Go to a local church each week
