When the Bible speaks of a “famine in the land,” it was saying the land was in a recession. This week’s lesson is Responding To A Recession.

Isaac had to make some hard decisions when times got tough. Sometimes God wants us to stay where things are hard.

As adults we go through distinct life stages. This Sunday we will follow three life events experienced by Isaac.

He will bury his parents, take a new leadership role in the family, and become a father.

Each stage would require a level of maturity that demonstrates his significance in the Book of Genesis.

While in chapter 25, we will study the selling of Esau’s birthright, and why God allowed it.

The love story of Isaac and Rebekah is counter to how it is done in our culture. In that world, two people did not fall in love and then get married.

Marriage usually preceded love. The story of this godly couple is about the role of obedience in the marriage process.

This Sunday we will look at Love Eastern Style: Isaac & Rebekah from Genesis 24.

2011 was quite a year. There were storms and super storms, political upheaval at home and abroad, a prince and duchess got married, a terrorist leader killed, flooding, drought, a massacre of children, a wounded congressperson returned, uprisings in the Middle East, a new movement in America, a marketing icon passed away, a high-profile coach was accused of molestation, and we finally ended the war in Iraq.

We have no clue what will transpire in 2012, but we do know about the track record of our God.

Psalm 136 will lead the way in the New Year.

This weekend, our shepherds will be highlighting the scriptures that will lead them and us through the coming year.

Everyone is invited.
