Walk Genesis!
Overview
As you walk Genesis, your spiritual journey takes you from Eden, through the flood, into the Promised Land, and down to Egypt. But the journey isn’t just about days gone by. It continues today for all those who choose to walk with God. Following the weekly Torah (Pentateuch) readings from the synagogue, along with the related Haftarah (Prophets, Writings) readings, Jeff Feinberg helps us to relate the ancient Scriptures to our daily walk, reminding us that “it is a Tree of Life to those who take hold of it.”
Top Highlights
“One can view Torah as God’s revealed blueprint for human participation in covenant relationship with God. The Haftarah, then, reflects the prophets’ call for us to clean up our act and return to God’s ways. Finally, the B’rit Chadashah describes how Messiah redeems us and restores our walk down the path of blessing to everlasting life.” (Page 5)
“Can you believe that God created the world so man could rest with Him in paradise? It is a lofty thought to consider yourself the crown of creation. You are more blessed than you believe. Perhaps you lose sight of this thought as you compare yourself to others, or when you think you are not good enough. Yet low self-esteem insults your Creator! He created you to suit His purposes. Do you know God’s purposes for your life?” (Page 45)
“In the tenth generation, Noach (Noah/rest) will escape judgment and carry the hope that the fathers can be redeemed! Yeshua warns that the Days of Noach resemble the end of days. Today, people are busy pursuing material prosperity and entertainment apart from God. People say that they are ‘too busy’ to enter into Shabbat rest. Scripture records these days as times when people are too distracted by life’s cares to rest or watch for the coming of Messiah (Mt. 24:37–39). Yet watch we must!” (Page 13)
“Scripture says we take our problems with us. Problems left unsolved (e.g. disobedience, sibling rivalry) are transmitted from generation to generation. These problems, recorded in Scripture from the earliest beginnings, explain our world today.” (Page 12)
“A household, composed of men searching for God at the ‘crossroads’ of their faith—an international community—entered into the covenant as a group. What a clear sign that grace cuts across all social lines.” (Page 59)
