The following texts will be available in the coming months:

Genesis

The first book of the Bible and the first book of the Tawrat.  It speaks about creation, and it describes the lives of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, and others.

Exodus

The second book of the Bible.  This is the account of how God rescued his people from slavery in Egypt and delivered them from the hand of Pharaoh.  The book gets its name from God (through Moses) « bringing out » his people from Egypt.  God then assembles his people and gives them his law, which is a reflection of his character.  God’s law is meant to point people to the Messiah.

Leviticus

The third book of the Bible.  This book gets its name from the family of Levi, one of the 12 sons of Jacob, whom God chose to serve as priests and to help the people to worship God.  One of the jobs of the priests was to offer sacrifices to God, which would allow sinful humans to come near to a holy God.

Numbers

The fourth book of the Bible.  This book describes the wanderings of Beni Israel in the desert as they make their way to the promised land.  Here we see the rebellion of many people against God and how God reveals his holiness.

Deuteronomy

The fifth book of the Bible and the final book of the Tawrat.  In this book Moses gives a second statement of the law (hence the book’s name “second law”) and bids his farewell to the people before they go in to the promised land.  God promises to raise up another prophet like Moses to whom all his people will listen.

Letters of Paul to the Ephesians and to the Philippians

The letter to the Ephesians is a book of the New Testament in the Bible.  The apostle Paul writes to the people of the city of Ephesus (and to us !) to tell us about what Jesus has done for us and how he wants us to live.  Paul reveals to us God’s grace, his eternal purpose, his plan to save people from all nations, the unity of God’s people, how to put off sin and put on righteousness, how to love and respect our spouses, and how to resist the attacks of the devil.

The letter to the Philippians is a book of the New Testament in the Bible.  The apostle Paul writes to the people of the city of Philippi to express his great joy at how they have helped him to preach and teach God’s word.  Through this book we learn about joy, thanksgiving, selflessness, servanthood, and how to overcome worry.  We learn how Jesus came to earth, that salvation is not by our works, and that our citizenship is in heaven.
