Week 7 - end of Genesis, beginning of Psalms - Boxset Binge the Bible
Manage episode 401261275 series 2900626
In this episode, Bern Leckie and Owen Lynch share thoughts and feelings about the end of the book of Genesis, chapters 45 to 50, and Psalms 1 to 28.
The story of Joseph ends in a good place relationally, with reconciliation, forgiveness and restoration - it’s a picture of hope. But it’s also clear that there is more to come, both for Israel’s family and the rest of the world.
Psalms contrast with the Bible’s stories as they seem to be personal expressions across a range of emotions and situations, but they are also inspired by God, connected with his heart and concerns, and relevant to how we process the biggest issues in life together as communities.
Both of these parts of the Bible make us think about relationships - could God be grabbing our attention about this?
The next part of our boxset will look at life for God’s people after some important relationships were forgotten, and Israel’s family story takes a new direction in Exodus chapters 1 to 22. Listen along at your own pace at severnvineyard.org/bible.
