  1. We are working in Genesis 6-8 for review and preparation for our next session.
  2. During this two week period, you may find it exciting and enlightening to complete or engage into this HoeStudy assignment. Most of us thought we knew the story of Noah and the flood. But this study will help you to see how destructive this event , unparalleled in human history was, an event which completely transformed the pre-Flood earth.
  3. The assignment is best if printed but if you do not have a printer the document entitled " The Flood" is a PDF document which can be viewed on you screen of phone. There are a couple of charts that can filled in if printed but pencil and paper will work just as well. The questions are thinking questions which we will turn into discussion questions next session.

HOMESTUDY

------------------------------------------

Reading and understanding Genesis can reduce doubt about God's work of Creation and early biblical history, and help you confidently discuss its truth. As you prepare to study Genesis inductively ponder these questions, though some are general, others can contain a challenging concept. I don't think the author, Moses, intended on explaining everything, if indeed he even knew the information. You may need to research some of the questions using Bible Handbooks, Atlases, Bible Summaries, and Encyclopedias.

  1. Is Genesis really the first Bible book written?
  2. Fifty 50 chapters makes this a big book. Is it the biggest book in the Bible?
  3. Is there someway to break Genesis down easily in our minds?
  4. The Bible is broken down into genres, such as history, poetry, epistles, gospels, etc. What type of book is Genesis considered?
  5. If Moses wrote Genesis, how did he get all these facts from 2500 years earlier?
  6. Where did Moses find the time to write all five books of the Pentateuch?
  7. There are tons of stories in genesis. Does it contain the most stories of any book in the Bible?
  8. Did god really make the world in six days as Genesis 1 suggest?
  9. Why is Abraham such a big deal in Bible stories?
  10. Lastly, what do you hope to gain from studying Genesis?

- Nazareth, 

- the hill country of Judea

2. There are two “declarations” in this chapter. The first is Mary’s declaration in verses 46–55 and is often referred to as the “Magnificat”, which is Latin for “magnifies”.

a. Read these verses and then write who and what these words focus on.

b. Mark the references to this person. When you finish, think about what you have learned from Mary about this person. As you do, think about this woman, who is she, what's she saying.

14 -21 April 2022

What an adventure in God's Word awaits us! We are excited about this study in the Book of Luke. “What you are going to learn, to discover for yourself… what you are going to experience as God Himself teaches you is only going to increase your knowledge of your Lord! And with that will come a new depth of awe of what it means to understand and live with a kingdom perspective on life.” (Copyright 2016 Precept Ministries International)


  1. Your first assignment is to read Luke chapter 1 prayerfully, thoughtfully, paragraph by paragraph. The text of Luke can be found on the Member’s Documents page of this site.


  1. As you read, use a pencil to record in the margin the theme - subject - covered and any repeated words you notice.


2. After reading through Luke 1, observe the text more closely. See what God wants you to know about the people he mentioned in this chapter and the when and where of their lives.


  1. Mark each of the following, including pronouns and synonyms, in distinctive color or combination of colors, so that you can easily distinguish them. (I recommend rectangles in blue with the letter of their first name written above).
  2. Zacharias
  3. Elizabeth
  4. Zacharias’s son John
  5. Mary
  6. Jesus
  7. As you observe people, mark every reference to the whens and wheres. Mark time references with a green circle and two angled lines making clock hands over the word or phrase of time.
  8. In your notebook list, the key information the text gives you about each of these people. This may seem like busy work but remember if God felt it necessary to mention a detail in the Word it might just be important to your understanding.


3. After prayer, look at the first four verses of Luke. 

  1. What purpose do they serve?
  2. What do you learn from them and why is it important? 
  3. What does it tell you about the Gospel account?


Reminder: Spread your assignment over the next six days. Don’t wait until the last day to complete these questions before the next “Breaking The Word” session.

Continue reading Hebrews 10:5-10.

  1. Read the passage in other translations.
  • Reading your passage in more than one translation can improve your understanding of the passage. Differences in translations may indicate places where the interpretation of the text is debated, or the differences may reflect different approaches to translation (like sticking close to the wording of the original versus adapting the wording to make it sound natural in the language of translation).
  • Make note of one or two differences in the text of the translations you read of your passage. How did the differences affect your understanding of the passage? Are they simply saying the same thing in different words or do they reflect different understandings of the passage?

2. Identify important cross references.

  • Examine relationships between your passage and other passages in the Bible, letting scripture interpret scripture. The idea is that the meaning of an obscure passage might be clarified by other passages with the meaning is more straightforward.
  • Review each cross reference and consider its relevance to your passage. Why is the cross-reference relevant for your passage?

Read Hebrews 10:5-10. The writer of the letter of the Hebrew has established that the sacrifices under the law cannot make perfect those who draw near to make those sacrifices. The sacrifices remind them of sins every year because it is impossible for the blood of the bulls and goats to take sins away.

OBSERVE

  1. Mark all references to the Trinity (God, Jesus, Holy Spirit)
  2. Circle all references to sacrifice/offerings.
  3. Place an orange box around sanctified.
  4. Draw a box (any color) around will.

Be ready to discuss your thoughts (during Breaking the Word) on the following (Don't forget to record those thoughts in your notebook):

  1. What is God's will in this passage?
  2. What offering is acceptable? What is not?
  3. If God's will is my sanctification and He offered His Son for it, what can I do to reflect this priority?
  4. Pick one area of your life and list how you can see it grow in holiness.
