Moses
This document provides background information on Moses and the story of Exodus from the Bible. It discusses who Moses was, including being raised in Egypt but born to Hebrew parents. It also summarizes the key events of Exodus such as the 10 plagues, Israelites being freed from slavery, and wandering in the desert for 40 years. However, it notes that some details are not likely historical facts, such as the parting of the Red Sea which was more likely a marsh that trapped Egyptian chariots. The overall message is that the religious truths of God's love for his people and leading them to freedom are more important than the specific factual details. Students are assigned to read more on Moses and answer accompanying questions.

His call involved God instructing him to eat a scroll and then speak God's words to the rebellious people.
B I B S T U D Lesson 15 The Kings Of Israel

Isaac and Rebekah had twin sons, Esau and Jacob. Esau was a skilled hunter while Jacob stayed at home. Isaac favored Esau while Rebekah favored Jacob. One day, Esau returned home exhausted from hunting and traded his birthright to Jacob in exchange for stew. Later, Jacob took advantage of Esau's hunger to trick him out of his father's blessing, causing rivalry between the brothers. The passage highlights the importance of family and warns against despising one's spiritual inheritance for temporary gain.
11 November 15, 2015, Genesis 21, The God of Promises
This document is a sermon from First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi about God's promises to Abraham in Genesis 21. The sermon discusses how God promised Abraham that he would have a son with Sarah, despite their old age, and that Isaac would be the heir through which God's people would descend. It also discusses God's promise to Hagar that Ishmael would father a great nation, though he would not inherit with Isaac. The sermon examines the conflict between Ishmael and Isaac that led to Hagar and Ishmael being sent away, and how God protected them. It explores the connections between promise and faith in the Bible and how Jesus fulfills all of God's promises.
11 November 15, 2015, Genesis 21, The God of Promises
This document provides an overview and analysis of Genesis 21, which recounts the story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael and Isaac. Key points include: God fulfills his promise to give Abraham and Sarah a son, Isaac; Sarah demands that Abraham send Hagar and Ishmael away; God promises to make Ishmael a great nation also; Hagar and Ishmael wander in the desert until God provides for them; the document discusses interpretations of Ishmael's role in Islam and connections between faith and God's promises.
Abraham
Abraham was the first person to fully trust in one God. God told Abraham to leave his home and travel to a new country, promising that Abraham and his wife Sarah would have a child, though they were unable to conceive. Abraham obeyed God and traveled to Canaan with his family. Later, God tested Abraham by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac, proving Abraham's complete trust in God. Abraham is significant to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam for being willing to fully submit to God.
A man of great faith
Abraham demonstrated great faith in God by his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac as commanded. When God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah, Abraham obeyed without question. As Abraham was about to kill Isaac, God stopped him and provided a ram to sacrifice instead. Abraham's complete faith and obedience to God's command was rewarded with wealth and many descendants, as God had promised. His example shows that those who truly believe in God will be rewarded.
Faith of Jacob
The seventh message in the Faithbook series focuses on the Faith of Jacob, a self-reliant schemer who wrestled with God and became a God-dependent worshiper of the God of his fathers.

03 israel and the prophecies - january 2015
God made promises to Abraham that his descendants would inherit the land of Canaan. This included both Isaac's descendants (the Israelites) and Ishmael's descendants (the Arabs). However, there were conditions for occupying the land - the Israelites must obey God's commandments. If they disobeyed, God would drive them out of the land and scatter them among the nations as punishment. Only when the Israelites finally return to God and obey him will they regain possession of the entire promised land. As of the time of this document, the Israelites had not yet returned to God, so they do not fully control the land.
3 fathers in the bible.pptx
This document discusses three biblical fathers - Noah, Abraham, and Joseph - and how their obedience to God played a role in His plan of salvation. Noah found favor with God for being righteous and blameless, and built the ark to save his family in obedience to God's warning. Abraham willingly sacrificed his son Isaac at God's command, demonstrating trust and sacrifice. Joseph obediently took Mary as his wife and cared for Jesus, though he knew the challenges ahead, showing humility and willingness to serve God's plans. All three fathers provide examples of faithfulness and trust in God.
The life of isaac part 2
The document provides an overview of the life of Isaac from the scriptures across 12 pages. It discusses Isaac dwelling in Gerar during a famine, taking Rebekah as his wife after his mother's death, blessing Jacob before Esau, dying in Hebron at 180 years old, and being a type of Christ who was obedient and offered up by God's command. The document also covers God's promises to Isaac, Isaac representing the children of promise in contrast to Ishmael, and Isaac being mentioned in the New Testament as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Genesis 31 35: The Jacob narrative
Jacob fears meeting his brother Esau after many years away. He prays to God for deliverance and wrestles with a divine being, emerging with a new name, Israel. Though initially afraid of Esau, his fear subsides after meeting God. After reconciling with Esau, Jacob settles in Shechem but one of his daughters is raped, causing conflict. Jacob moves his family to Bethel where God reaffirms his covenant. Rachel dies giving birth to Benjamin, fulfilling a curse Jacob had unwittingly placed on her.

Abraham offers Issac june 28
God tested Abraham's faith by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac on a mountain. Abraham obeyed God and took Isaac to be sacrificed. At the last moment, God stopped Abraham and provided a ram to sacrifice instead of Isaac. In remembrance of this event, Abraham named the place "The Lord Will Provide." God then reaffirmed his promise to Abraham to make his descendants as numerous as the stars.

The document discusses God's covenant with Abraham as found in the Bible. It provides background on covenants in general and their key characteristics. God's covenant with Abraham included promises that his descendants would become a great nation, be given the land of Canaan, and that Abraham would have a son despite his old age. The covenant was established through a ceremony involving sacrificial animals and established God's commitment to Abraham and his descendants. The Abrahamic covenant is important for Christians as it forms the basis for their relationship with God.

Boys will be boys Genesis 25:19-34
The document describes the births of Jacob and Esau to Isaac and Rebekah. It summarizes that Isaac prayed for Rebekah when she was barren and she conceived twins. At birth, Esau came out first and was hairy while Jacob held Esau's heel. As they grew, Esau was a hunter and Isaac favored him while Jacob lived in tents and was favored by Rebekah. Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for stew, showing his character as bitter, immoral and godless according to the New Testament. The document compares Esau's traits and descendants to types of those who opposed God's people.
Overall story of_the_bible
The Bible tells an overarching story in three parts:
1) God creates the world but humanity rebels, resulting in sin and suffering.
2) God chooses Abraham and his descendants to bless all nations, but the Israelites often disobey. They are conquered but some return to their land.
3) God promises a savior, and Jesus is born and preaches, though rejected. He claims to save the world and offer eternal life.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The story of abraham
- 2. The Story of Abraham • God talks to a man Abraham. God says he will bless Abraham, make of him a great nation, and through him all nations will be blessed. Genesis 12-20 (~2,000 BC)
- 3. The Story of Abraham • Though imperfect, Abraham believes God and follows him, even though he and his wife are very old and have no son. Genesis 12 - 20
- 4. The Story of Abraham • After 25 years of waiting, God gives Abraham and his wife a son, Isaac, who will inherit God’s promises. Genesis 21 - 24 (Job is set sometime around this time period)
- 5. The Story of Abraham • When he grows up, Isaac has twin sons. God chooses the younger twin, Jacob, to inherit his promises. Genesis 25 - 27
- 6. The Story of Abraham • Jacob is a schemer, but God changes him, and changes his name to Israel. Genesis 28-35:15
- 7. The Story of Abraham • Israel has 12 sons. One son, Joseph, trusts in and obeys God. But the other brothers are jealous of Joseph and sell him into slavery. Genesis 35:16-38
- 8. The Story of Abraham • Through amazing circumstances, Joseph becomes prime minister of Egypt, and the rest of the family comes to join him. Genesis 39-50
Editor's Notes
- One man for blessing all nations.
- - After one year, no son. Two years, five years, 10 years and so on, no son. Still trusts in God. - God says he counts Abe as righteous because of his trust in God—a big theme for the Bible.
- How old? Abe ~100 and Sarah ~90 years old.
- Goes against cultural traditions of choosing the eldest. Shows God not bound by human traditions.
- Changed through a night of wrestling with an angel. Israel means “prevails with God”
- Except for Joseph, we get the idea, “These people are not so great”. It is confusing that Joseph is the one who trusts in God, but he seems to be the one who suffers the most.
- The brothers truly regret what they had done to Joseph. Joseph forgives them all. Where part one ends.
