At the start of each church yearthe faithful are filled with energy and a desire for fresh commitment. Many have pledged to read through the Bible cover to cover, but hav been toppled (somewhere around
Lamentations). Author, Jana Riess, is here to help! A brilliant academic, she has painstakingly researched each verse and offers to us summarized with a hint of hilarity by Jana’s tweets. P.S. If you want to join the covenant group that is going to read through the Bible starting in January, contact Pastor Cynthia. (609) [email protected] #pastorecinzia1 October 5 Genesis 12 Hello, Abram, God promises land and descendants. Father Abram responds by lying to Pharaoh and about wife Sarai. What a bright future.
October 12 Genesis 21 Abraham (100) and Sarah (90) have Issac. Wow! But, they don’t need Hagar anymore...
October 19 Genesis 25 Rebekah’s twins have a prenatal throwdown. (Psst! Fore-shadowing). Essau’s firstborn, but Jacob’s a real trickster. Watch your back.
October 26 Genesis 28 Jacob get’s out of Dodge, but suffers ladder-climbing dream. This “stone for a pillow” is a far cry from Westin’s Heavenly Bed.
Nov. 2 Genesis 37 Eleven brothers ticked when Joseph dreams of lording it over them. First they throw him in a pit, then then try human trafficking. Joseph enslaved. :0(
