Genesis Part 4: Wrestling With God
God renews the covenant promise to Abraham through the patriarchs Isaac and Jacob. Their lives become an integral part of the scarlet thread of redemption that God weaves through all of Scripture and the source of comfort for us. But two nations arise from Isaac - descendants of Jacob and Esau. Their struggle continues the story of God's choice. The lessons we learn for our lives from these men and their relationship to God can guide our steps of faith (covers Chapters 24-36).

Genesis Part 5: Keeping Your Focus When Dreams Are Shattered
Have you ever been falsely accused? Or maybe you have suffered unjustly for something you had no control over. The life of Joseph is a study on handling extreme situations. What would you be like if you were the ruler of the world? How would you act if you were literally a slave? Joseph had to deal with a life of ups and downs, and God taught him how to handle them (covers Chapters 37-50).

Judges
Today, as in the days of Judges, everyone does what is right in his own eyes! Absolutes and traditions are pushed aside. Many feel oppressed. The book of Judges is God's Word for our day of apathy and apostasy.

Daniel
Does turmoil in our government, the uprisings abroad, or the spiritual decay of America have anything to do with the book of Daniel? Daniel lived in similar conditions yet he made an impact on his people because he knew God Most High. You can do the same.
