BIBLE READING
Here are the Bible readings for this upcoming week. Feel free to read the entire thing, just the NT, or just the OT:
| Day | Reading |
| Monday | Genesis 41-42; Mark 16 |
| Tuesday | Genesis 43-44; Psalm 24; Galatians 1 |
| Wednesday | Genesis 45-46; Psalm 108; Galatians 2 |
| Thursday | Genesis 47-48; Psalm 25; Galatians 3 |
| Friday | Genesis 49-50; Galatians 4 |
Genesis was written by Moses and was for the Jews.
· Genesis 46 – As you skim through this list of names, see if you recognize any.
· Genesis 48:20 – Interesting… Isaac (younger) was selected over Ishmael (older); Jacob (younger) was selected over Esau (older); Joseph (younger) was selected over Reuben (older); now Ephraim (younger) is selected over Manasseh (older).
Mark was written by Mark (a disciple, but not 1 of the 12) and written to Gentile (non-Jewish) Christians.
· Mark 16:1-20 – All 20 verses are verified in ancient manuscripts. Some modern translations bracket verses 9-20 off or put them in the footnotes since they are missing in some ancient manuscripts.
Galatians was written by Paul (a Jew, who was later appointed as an Apostle) to the Galatian church.
· Galatians 1:18-24 – These verses fit in Paul's story between his salvation and his missionary journeys.
· Galatians 3:11 – Paul quotes, "the just shall live by faith" here, in Romans 1:17, and in Hebrews 10:38.

Highlights from the Sermon
Don't leave behind our aspirations, obligations, communications, and reputation, like Jonah did.
Don't wait for the Lord to send a storm of some sort to get your attention.
Let's stop our Jonah detour before it's too late.
