Study the Entire Bible with Mike Mazzalongo

This introductory lesson will review the historical, political and social conditions that led up to and include the times in which this gospel record was written.

In the final lesson on this series Mike summarizes the Apostle Paul's arguments on being ready for Jesus' sure return.

In this last lesson Mike will wrap up this long study by sharing three key lessons taught to us by Genesis.

At the end of his life Jacob gives each of his sons a prophecy concerning their future. This event along with the death of both Jacob and Joseph will close out the Genesis record.

This lesson reviews Jesus' teaching about His return in Matthew 24-25 in order to complement the instructions that Paul provides the Thessalonians on this same subject.

This lesson describes the final episode in Joseph's story where Jacob, Joseph and their families are reunited and settled in Egypt.

This lesson examines the nature of God's will and how it accommodates man's will in relation to his ability to choose or reject salvation.

After reuniting with his brothers after a separation of 20 years, Joseph lays a plan that will determine if a reconciliation will be possible.

This lesson examines the various theories put forth to explain the identity of the "Man of Lawlessness" Paul refers to in this epistle.

Joseph finally confronts his brothers who initially sold him into slavery.

Paul continues teaching this young church about the events that must occur before Jesus' second coming.

After languishing in prison for several years Joseph is called upon to interpret Pharaoh's dreams and in doing so successfully is transformed from being a prisoner to becoming a prince of Egypt.

In his second letter to this church, Paul continues to encourage and praise them for their faithfulness and provides even more teaching about the second coming of Christ.

After explaining Judah's connection to the coming Messiah, the Genesis writers finish their narrative with the telling of Joseph's story.

In the final section of his letter to the Thessalonians Paul outlines eight ways to prepare for the sure return of Jesus Christ.

The story of Jacob's family focuses in on one particular son, Judah, through whom the Messiah would eventually come, and examines his unusual relationship with his daughter-in-law Tamar.

In this lesson, Paul outlines the actual order of events that will take place when Jesus returns.

After having laid out the necessary credentials for recognizing true ministers of the gospel, Paul does the same for true churches.

This lesson begins the story of Joseph, Jacob's son with Rachel, who will become the bridge for the family's travel to and 400-year settlement in Egypt.

After a long period of silence Jacob's story picks up again as his sons cause trouble and we see Jacob in the familiar role of being on the run.

In this lesson, Paul defends against attacks by the false teachers in the Thessalonian church by listing the credentials that identify true ministers of God's word in every age.

After gathering his wives and children and leaving Laban behind, Jacob faces the dangerous confrontation with his brother Esau who had vowed to kill him because of his deception in the matter of the blessing from Isaac.

In the opening section of his letter Paul, the Apostle, describes the attributes that reveal a genuine conversion to Christ.

In this section of Genesis, we learn how Jacob came to have two wives who would, in addition to their female slaves, bear the 12 sons of Jacob.

After 20 years of service, Jacob prepares for his departure from Laban by offering him a potentially lucrative proposal.
