Q4. (Genesis 46:2-4) Faith is what quiets our fears. What in God

Q3. (Genesis 45:4-8) Contrast Jacob and Joseph. Jacob has suffered great loss. Joseph has suffered great injustice. Why is Jacob's vision so bleak but Joseph's, so broad? Jacob is caught up in his sorrows and troubles but Joseph is trusting in the Lord and not looking at the troubles. What have been their differing responses to fear? Jacob draws up in a shell of quietness, when Joseph lets out to the Lord. What insight has kept Joseph from being bitter towards his brothers? I feel like the dreams the Lord has showed him has inspired him to believe in the Lord and keep his faith.

Q2. (Genesis 42:35-43:14) What is Jacob

Q1. (Genesis 37:31-35) What does bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob say about these sons

Q5. (Genesis 35:22) What is the significance of Reuben

Q4. (Genesis 35:9-15) Why do you think God appears to Jacob yet another time? To assure him that He hasn't forgotten him and that He was still with him just like He had told him He would be the first time He had spoke with him. What are the primary promises that God renews to Jacob? That He would be his God and that he would be fruitful and increase in number, a nation and a community of nations will come from him, and kings will come from his body, and the land that He gave to Abraham and Isaac He would also give it to him and to his descendants after him.

Q3. (Genesis 35:1-5) Why does Jacob

Q2. What happened when the Israelites disobeyed God and intermarried with the Canaanites? They fell into bondage by the Canaanites and worshiped their gods. Why do you think God commanded them not to intermarry? To keep them pure because He knew that if they intermarried with other tribes then they would follow their sins. Was this racial or spiritual or both? spiritual, it is obedience to God. Why are Christians to marry

Q1. (Genesis 34) Why do you think Jacob is so silent after the rape of his daughter? I feel like Jacob was considering the safety of his family and possibly even praying and asking God what he should do in this situation before just jumping up and doing something like most of us so often seem to do and also like the two sons did in this matter. What should he have done instead of being silent? He may have done just what he needed to do even though a lot of times we would like to do something on our on but we were not in this position. What was right about the sons

Q4. (4:10-11) If people are always promoting themselves and pointing to how God is using them, what does that say about them? When a person is only looking and promoting himself and how God is using him then he has allowed pride to slip in and take control of his mind, instead of giving Christ the Glory for all things because we cannot do anything without Christ that strengthens us. Their sense of self-worth? They are taking to much credit for what Christ is doing. It's good to allow Christ to work through us but we can never take credit for it. Their maturity? This person still has a lot of growing to do, and drawing closer to Christ Jesus for a closer revelation of Him. Their realism? They have not excepted the realism of the truth that every thing we do is about and because of Christ Jesus. Their humility? There is still need of repentance and humbling themselves before the Lord. What spiritual gifts has God given you, and how are you using them to his glory? The Lord has giving me a ministry through prison ministry and an opportunity to pastor a church and now He is even giving me an opportunity to go on a mission trip to Greece, I pray that some how the Lord will use me some how over there to glorify Him and His kingdom. And that I will always stay humble and recognize Him as Lord in my life in every thing I do.

3. (4:5-7) Why don't non-Christians like the idea of giving an account of their actions? Because they don't like facing the truth about their lives and knowing that they are living in sin. They don't like the feeling of conviction. Why don't we Christians like it? Sometimes we as Christians feel like we are okay because we are saved until we have to give an account for our actions then we realize that we are not what we should be either and that makes us feel and look bad so we just try to hide our actions. What should the realization that we must give an account of our actions inspire in us? This should inspire in us the mind of Christ so that we would try to live our lives with the same attitude of Christ. With what attitude should we live as a result? The attitude of Christ where we are dead from sin and our goal is to please the Father by showing the same love and forgiveness to others that Christ showed to us.

Q2. (4:3-4) Why do non-Christians try to get you to sin with them. Non Christians will try to get you to sin with them so that they will not feel so bad or be convicted so bad if they can get you to do the same thing they are doing. Why are we tempted to do so? Because we don't like to be left behind and made fun of by our friends so a lot of times we will give in and join in with them even though we know we shouldn't. How can we resist this temptation? We resist this temptation by drawing closer to Jesus and by assembling ourselves with other Christians instead of worldly people.

Q1. (4:1-2) When the scripture says "arm yourselves with the same attitude" as Christ had, how should this attitude help keep you from sin? If we had the attitude to please the Father in everything that we do then we would keep ourselves from sin. What attitude are we talking about? Christ suffered in the flesh so that we could be free from sin, although when Christ suffered on the cross he had told the Father not my will but thine be done therefore he was willing to please the Father.

Q4. (Genesis 33:1-16) How has Esau changed since Jacob had gone to Haran? When Jacob left Haran, Esau was bitter and angry with Jacob even to the point he had plotted to kill Jacob. But now Esau has forgiving Jacob and was glad to see him welcoming him home with brotherly love. How has Jacob changed? Jacob left a deceiver and come back humbly and with a servants heart to the point of calling Esau lord when always before he wanted to dominate over Esau. How does the encounter demonstrate Jacob

Q3. (Genesis 32:24-30) Who was the
