  • FALLEN HEROES SERMON SERIES NOAH – Genesis 6:5-22 June 27, 2021 Rev
    FALLEN HEROES SERMON SERIES NOAH – Genesis 6:5-22 June 27, 2021 Rev. Kory Wilcoxson There’s probably no Bible story more beloved by children than Noah’s Ark. What kid doesn’t like boats and animals? I’ve seen baby’s nurseries decorated with Noah’s Ark-themed murals and stuffed animals and crib sheets and musical mobiles. There are lots of children’s bibles that tell the sanitized version of this story with pictures of lambs and bunnies and giraffes making their way onto the ark two by two. When we first learn this story, we learn about how Noah obeyed God and God protected Noah and when the flood waters finally receded everyone lived happily ever after…well, at least for a couple days. That’s the version of the story we’re told growing up. But the real story is a lot more complex and morally ambiguous than what we learned in Sunday school. For our summer sermon series, we’re looking at some favorite stories from the Bible that may be a different than what we learned growing up. The series is called “Fallen Heroes” because not all the heroes we learned about deserve that title. Here’s what makes this so problematic for our story today. The fallen hero isn’t Noah. Noah does everything God asks of him. He doesn’t balk. He doesn’t complain. In fact, he doesn’t speak a word during the whole story. OK, after the flood he gets a little drunk, but let’s cut the guy some slack.

  • “Heroes of Faith: Joseph”
    “HEROES OF FAITH: JOSEPH” JOSEPH IN PRISON (Genesis 39:20 - 41:14) But the LORD was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. (Genesis 39:21) CHALLENGES STRENGTHEN MY FAITH IN GOD IF I… 1. TURN TO GOD DURING MY CHALLENGE. So he took Joseph and threw him into the prison where the king’s prisoners were held, and there he remained. (Genesis 39:20) MY FAITH GROWS STRONGER WHEN I TURN TO GOD DURING MY PROBLEMS. 2. SERVE OTHERS WHEN I GET STUCK. When Joseph saw them the next morning, he noticed that they both looked upset. “Why do you look so worried today?” he asked them. And they replied, “We both had dreams last night, but no one can tell us what they mean.” “Interpreting dreams is God’s business,” Joseph replied. “Go ahead and tell me your dreams.” (Genesis 40:6-8) Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. (Proverbs 11:25) 3. DON’T BECOME BITTER WHEN DISAPPOINTED. And please remember me and do me a favor when things go well for you. Mention me to Pharaoh, so he might let me out of this place. For I was kidnapped from my homeland, the land of the Hebrews, and now I’m here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it. (Genesis 40:14-15) Pharaoh’s chief cup-bearer, however, forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought. (Genesis 40:23) 4. TRUST GOD IS WITH ME WHEN I FEEL FORGOTTEN. But the LORD was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love.

  • Expansions on the Book of Genesis 1.Pdf
    Expansions upon the Book of Genesis Introductory Remarks Some years ago I had made a verse-by-verse outline of Genesis–not every verse but those I deemed important–with a specific view in mind. While information about Genesis or any biblical book can be fascinating and informative, it remains secondary to the intent of this document which aimed at assisting the reader to expand his or her understanding and experience of lectio divina. That is to say, a person is encouraged to read a biblical verse or two (usually no more than that) and then lay aside the Bible itself while keeping it at hand in case one needs to return to the text. The need usually arises from the presence of distractions, of thinking of things other than the sacred text. This gesture of putting down the Bible is significant...not so much to allow for reflection, important as that is, but as a sign that one is disposed to resting in God’s presence. More specifically, after reading a short verse one feels a deep peace welling up, so at this point one no longer feels the need to use his or her mind to ponder the text. This happens at the prompting of divine grace–a person doesn’t ask for it, it simply happens–provided that one is obedient to the text. And so we come to the purpose not only of these reflections but of other biblically related documents on this home page: to assist the reader in the act of lectio divina. To assist in this process, the document at hand presents a fleshing out of the Book of Genesis from what could be taken as a mythic point of view.

  • Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis
    Copyrighted Material 12 Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis MARK SPICER Th e title of this chapter might remind some readers of an article by Andrew Mead that appeared in Perspectives of New Music more than two decades ago (Mead 1985), in which the author used sophisticated set-theoretic analytical techniques to dig beneath the surface of Arnold Schoenberg’s music, disclos- ing a “large-scale strategy” at work within several of the twelve-tone composi- tions. Mead had the advantage of writing for a scholarly community already well convinced of Schoenberg’s genius. I suspect the idea of placing the music of the British rock group Genesis in the same league as Schoenberg would be greeted with considerable skepticism—if not downright horror—by many musicologists, and this is certainly not my intent in the present essay. (Alas, it will probably require some drastic revolutions in taste before such early- Genesis classics as “Th e Return of the Giant Hogweed” are admitted into the canon of twentieth-century masterworks.) But I do hope to show that despite being several musical worlds removed from Schoenberg, Genesis’ music is rich, diverse, and equally worthy of our analytical attention. One of the most infl uential and long-lasting of the so-called “progressive rock” bands that emerged in Britain around 1970 in the wake of the Beatles, Genesis is probably better known to most pop-rock fans as the supergroup who made frequent appearances on the Billboard charts during the 1980s and early 1990s, with

    1008 Andrews University Seminary Studies 38.2 (Autumn 2000) 293-305. Copyright © 2000 by Andrews University Press; Cited with permission. TERMINOLOGICAL PATTERNS AND GENESIS 38 WILFRIED WARNING Schulzentrum Seminar Marienhohe Darmstadt, Germany In recent studies a detailed analysis of the narrative outline of the Judah and Tamar episode has been presented.1 These analyses interpret Gen 38 as a literary whole possessing a distinct structural unity and design, a narrative in which the “analysis of structure or ‘form’ has brought to light the ‘content’”;2 and concerning the position of Gen 38 in the extant text and its linguistic and thematic interrelation with the Joseph story it has been concluded: 1 E. M. Menn proposes that "since the motifs of birth and naming appear earlier in the narrative as well (Gen 38:3-5), Genesis 38 may be viewed as a double tale of procreation, in which initial biological and social discontinuity is twice overcome, first in Gen 38:1-5 and next in Gen 38:6-30" (Judah and Tamar [Genesis 38] in Ancient Jewish Exegesis: Studies in Literary Form and Hermeneutics, Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism 51 [Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1997], 15). The second part of the narrative, vv. 6-30, is subdivided by her as follows: vv. 6-11; 12-19;20-23; 24-26; 27-30 (19-28). A. J. Lambe, considering Gen 38 "one of the best examples of ... the Bible's `smaller literary wholes,"' presents a different and somewhat chiastic outline consisting of "five phases of development" ("Genesis 38: Structure and Literary Design," in The World of Genesis: Persons, Places, Perspectives, JSOTSup 257, ed.
