Calvary Reflections
Reflecting on God's Word
Reflecting God to the World
January 24, 2016
Thanks!
Again, thank you to all of the men who have volunteered to cover a position next Sunday (Jan 31), which is Men's Sunday!
Don't forget that we'll be serving breakfast that morning (ladies first) and will want to bring in non-perishable food or paper products for the Robbins Area Christian Ministries.
Bible Reading
This week's OT reading (Gen. 44-Exod. 9) finishes out the cliffhanger from last week as we see Joseph finish testing his brothers and revealing himself to them.
We finish out the book of Genesis with the people thriving as Joseph passes away. As we pick up in Exodus, another Pharaoh is on the scene and we see the birth of Moses, his upbringing in Egypt, and his fleeing Egypt. We see his call to deliver the Israelites and the first 7 plagues.
A couple thoughts: In chapter 46, verses 8-27 are genealogy, so verse 28 picks up where 7 leaves off. Notice how quickly the story moves in Exodus chapter 2 (in a mere 25 verses, we see his birth, upbringing, his early adulthood where he kills a man, and his fleeing for his life. Notice in Exodus chapters 7-8 that the Israelites will experience the first of the 3 plagues, but not the rest of the plagues.
