Synopsis:
(This course was held over
four Tuesdays [19 Feb - 11 Mar 2008])
Someone said, "Great faith is not the faith that walks
always in the light and knows no darkness, but the faith
that perseveres in spite of God's seeming silences
" The
bible is full of ordinary men and women whose faith is
seen in their obedience and trust in God in their daily
lives.
The course will look at 4 bible men of faith and what we
can learn from their inspiring examples.
Abraham the seven blessings of Abraham. What are
these blessings and how we too inherit these blessings?
Isaac the beloved son and his bride. Isaac is a type
of Christ and his life tells us much about Christ's
death, resurrection, and the winning of the bride, the
Church. A beautiful and inspiring story for believers
today.
Jacob meets his match! Jacob was a deceiver but was
eager to be blessed at the same time. Only when he met
his match did his life come to a blessed submission.
Joseph the triumphs of Joseph. Joseph suffered much,
yet never complained but readily submitted to God's
will. Like Jesus, God highly exalted him, and by him
saved the then known world from famine. The story is
full of rich insights into the love of God in Christ.
