The Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost - Fr. Drew Knowles Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Book of Genesis - Sarah Stone-Ullrich Reflection Questions: The theme of God’s blessings in Genesis have been about fruitfulness, abundance, multiplication/expansion, and growth. Because we are a part of God’s covenant family and experience his blessings, how do you find yourself responding to those blessings? In what ways are you being a blessing? If you were on the receiving end of this bles...

The Book of Genesis - Fr. Andrew Gray Reflection Questions: Where in your life can you see where God has “sent you down into Egypt” but has provided a “Goshen”? How does God’s promise to Jacob be present, and to eventually bring him and his people back up, shape the way you live in that place? Genesis 47 shows God bringing order, provision, and life into a world in chaos. In what ways are you call...

The Book of Genesis - Martin Reyna Reflection Questions: Joseph’s testing awakens the brothers’ buried guilt about their sin. How does conviction function as a sign of God’s mercy rather than His rejection? What practices help us respond rightly to conviction instead of resisting it? In Joseph’s “death” in ch 37, we saw a foreshadow of Jesus’ death - blameless, loved by his father but despised by...

The Book of Genesis - Jenny Sneller Reflection Questions: Joseph had to rely on dreams and visions for God to speak to him, and although we have God’s Word available to us all the time, we often undervalue it. In what ways do we still try to rely on a modern day version of dreams and visions rather than the Bible when we’re seeking God? Do you go to God’s word for wisdom and guidance or are there...

The Book of Genesis - Aiden Gray Reflection Questions: Joseph remains steadfast under any circumstance, whether in a royal palace or stuck in a prison. What does this say about his faith? How should we model this? Joseph is seen as a priest in chapter 40; what do you think is the significance of there being a cupbearer and baker in the narrative? Hosted on Acast.

The Book of Genesis - Sarah Stone-Ullrich Reflection Questions: These verses show people avoiding responsibility and acting selfishly. Can you think of examples of this kind of behavior today? What responsibilities do you have in your own life, and what happens when you don’t take them seriously? Judah changes when he sees someone more righteous than himself. The thief on the cross finds redemptio...

The Book of Genesis - Fr. Drew Knowles Reflection Questions: The Hebrew word used to describe Joseph’s tunic is only used five times in the Bible – three in Genesis 37 and two in 2 Samuel 13 (Tamar’s “long robe”). Compare and contrast these two stories. How else are they related? How does the story of Joseph – in particular his suffering – shape our understanding of divine providence? Hosted on Ac...

The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Fr. Drew Knowles Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Book of Genesis - Fr. Drew Knowles Reflection Questions: Read Psalm 37:1-19. How do we see this theme of having learning patience playing out in the rest of the Old Testament? How about the New Testament? In Acts 12, an Edomite king attacks the Church, killing James and arresting Peter. However, the Israelite is delivered in an exodus/resurrection fashion (12:6-7), the Edomite king is struck d...

The Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Fr. Drew Knowles Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Book of Genesis - Fr. Andrew Gray Reflection Questions: Genesis 34 ends in defilement, but Genesis 35 begins with purification. What does this movement from defilement to purity show us about God’s pattern of redemption throughout‬ Scripture? And how might Acts 22:16, Galatians 3:27, and Ephesians 4:22-24 help us understand what this means for the Christian life?‬ Genesis shifts the question f...

The Book of Genesis - Fr. Drew Knowles Reflection Question: Consider the following characters: (1) Jacob, (2) Dinah, and (3) Simeon and Levi. At what point(s) did these characters lose their way? What can we learn from their mistakes, especially as it pertains to living among unbelievers? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
