Genesis 1-5: Temptation

On By BrianIn OT Studies

Here are some questions to explore the theme of temptation in Genesis 1-5:

Describe the temptation in Genesis 3; compare to I John 2:15-17. What similarities do you find in your own temptations?

Describe the temptation in Genesis 4. When are you tempted in a similar way?

What did Cain need to do? Compare to I Corinthians 10:13.

How can we overcome temptation according to Matthew 4:1-11, 6:13, Galatians 5:16-23, and Titus 2:11-14? In one word?

Where did temptation come from in Genesis 3? In Genesis 4?

Compare the ways that Adam and Eve, Cain, and Lamech each respond to their sin. Is there a downward trend?

What are the consequences of sin in chapters 3, 4, & 5?

Reading the Bible in 4 Years

On By BrianIn Bible Journey

This week our church begins a new Sunday School series with the plan to read and discuss our way through the entire Bible in four years.  Each week we will focus on 4-6 chapters.  Questions we will be asking each week include:

  • What observations do you make about this passage?
  • What do you learn about God?
  • What do you learn about people, sin, and our need of a Savior?
  • How does this passage point us to Jesus and salvation?
  • How do I need to apply this passage to my life?

In addition to those questions, we will be focusing on one theme from each week’s passage which I will post here each Monday.  And I have written two reflections for each week that I will also be posting here.

If you don’t have a Bible reading plan, I invite you to join us.  The schedule for the next four weeks:

January 4-10: Genesis 1-5
January 11-17: Genesis 6-11
January 18-24: Genesis 12-17
January 25-31: Genesis 18-23
