Give us the purpose today Lord keeper of our hearts. You are the greatest artist ever, You used your palet to extremes, You put a fire in our soul with the beauty of life. Open our eyes in downcast moments to realise we are part of it. You breathe life into us when feelings of sadness engulf the spirit. Thank you Lord. In Jesus name. Amen.
Israel to Egypt a bible study Genesis chapter 45 through Exodus chapter 2

Israel to Egypt bible study Genesis 45 through Exodus 2
Here is a bible study after Joseph fully reveals himself to his brethren, has them go back and bring Jacob and all his come down so they all can live together in an area that Joseph sets up for them with the current Pharaoh’s approval. They indeed all go down there, and then they would end up spending no less than 430 years there. After Joseph’s death the Egyptians start treating the Israelis harsher and harsher as the Israelis have exploded in population size and were then at that time considered a threat to Egypt and its well being. This study is a continuation and conclusion of Joseph’s life and a continuation of the last study which is found at this link:
Joseph bible study Genesis chapters 37 through 44
Here is a bible study that continues the narrative in Genesis that switches the emphasis from Jacob to Joseph, although Jacob also figures some in it, especially in chapter 37, and chapter 38 deals with Judah and his family and their activities. Much of the story in these chapters deals with Joseph’s being sold as a slave and transported to Egypt to serve under Pharaoh where eventually his gifting to interpret dreams would see Joseph become second in charge behind Pharaoh who recognized Joseph’s giftings and the fact that God was with Joseph from very early on, almost immediately after they met . For more on Jacob, and the all of the others you also can turn to my previous bible study here, which deals with Jacob:
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You with a thankful heart for all that You have done in my life. Thank You for the many answers to my prayers and I appreciate You always being there when I call. Lord, I pray for all of those who do not know You. Use Your children to tell them about the good news of salvation. Give each of us Holy boldness to witness to those around us who need to hear about the love of Jesus. May our lives be a testimony of Your love. Forgive us when we fail You and help us to overcome all the things that would hinder us from being like You. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
Jacob bible study Genesis chapters 28 through 36
Here is a bible study which tells all about the life story of Jacob, from chapters 28 to 35 then goes on to tell about Esau and his descendants in chapter 36. It gives details aboutJacob’s marriages with the different people such as Rachel and Leah the birth of all twelve of his sons, his return from Laban including his meeting with his Esau again. He has a number of wonderful encounters with God all along the way and God really blesses all that Jacob did. I am now including a link to the study which includes Jacob and Esau’s birth and Abraham and Isaac’s life here
In Genesis 28 Jacob is sent off...

Creation, fall of man and the flood bible study
Now I am led to do a series of bible studies based on the old testament books, starting with Genesis. I am going to start this with the very start of the bible too, with God’s creation and then fall, and flood, and the repopulation of the earth after the flood up to the tower of Babel incident and afterwards all the way up to the birth of Abram (Abraham). This bible study therefore includes the first 11 chapters of Genesis
