    SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONS Commentary by Michael Sigler December 6, 2009 The Lineage of David Ruth 4:13-17 & Matthew 1:1-6 Key verse: “The women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, ‘A son has been born to Naomi.’ They named him Obed; he became the father of Jesse, the father of David” (Ruth 4:17). What parts of the Bible do you skip over? Most people rarely read the genealogies—“so-and-so begat so-and-so who begat so-and-so.” Granted, these passages might not offer the most exciting reading. But with just a little study, the genealogies of the Bible offer great spiritual treasures! This week’s lesson dips into the genealogy of Christ as presented in Matthew’s Gospel. The lesson also looks back to two ancient women of faith whose lives play an integral part in God’s great plan for humanity—Naomi and Ruth. Their story as told in the Book of Ruth is one of the most beautiful stories in the Bible. The story focuses on Naomi first, a Hebrew woman whose family has lost everything because of a famine. Trying to find a way to survive, Naomi, her husband and their two sons move to the nearby country of Moab. There the two sons find wives. But before long, bad times are back. Naomi’s husband and both of her sons die, leaving her with few prospects for support. Hearing that the famine in Judah has ended, Naomi decides to go home. The second part of the story focuses on Naomi’s daughter-in-law, Ruth.
  • Rahab: a Woman of Faith” Matthew 1:1-17, Joshua 2:1-1 4 Wayne J

    Rahab: a Woman of Faith” Matthew 1:1-17, Joshua 2:1-1 4 Wayne J

    Old Testament Readings: Psalm 130:1-8, Jeremiah 31:31-34 New Testament Reading: Luke 1:68-79 The Five Women in the Lineage of Jesus “Rahab: A Woman of Faith” Matthew 1:1-17, Joshua 2:1-1 4 Wayne J. Edwards, Pastor Because of her profession, Rahab, a Canaanite woman, was always identified as a harlot. Because of her expressed faith in a forgiving and merciful God, Rahab became a heroine to her family, the first Gentile to be welcomed into God’s family, and one of the mothers in the lineage of Jesus. Even though she was a Gentile, the writer of Hebrews included Rahab in the Hebrew Hall of Faith; identifying her as the woman who did not perish, like those who were disobedient. Even though she worked as a prostitute, and lied to the king’s messengers, James, the half-brother of Jesus, said Rahab was “justified by her works when she received the messengers and sent them another way.” The reason the story of Rahab is in the Scriptures is to show us that God delights to display the glory of His grace, and the wonders of His love, to and through the least likely candidates. The New Testament lists two genealogies of Jesus. Luke 3:23-38 is the ascending record of Jesus’ family tree, beginning with the birth of Jesus to Mary, and then tracing His lineage back 77-generations to Adam. Luke wrote his genealogy of Jesus to prove His humanity. Matthew 1:1-17 is the descending record of Jesus’ family tree, beginning with Abraham and tracing his lineage forward 42-generations to Joseph.

    Jesus, the Righteous Branch of Jesse — Matthew 3:1-12 Page 1 Advent 2a Pastor Douglas Punke In the name of c Jesus. In this Advent season, a watchword is the word “prepare.” Matthew tells us this is why John the Baptist is significant. John makes his appearance in the Judean wilderness as the voice foretold by Isaiah: the “voice of one crying in the wilderness,” preparing “the way of the Lord.” In our busy lives outside of church, in this Advent season, I’m sure there is a lot of preparing taking place. The gifts under the Christmas tree don’t just miraculously appear; being a bit circumspect here…there is no “jolly old elf” delivering them from the North Pole. The house doesn’t get decorated on its own. Christmas goodies don’t make themselves. And magic won’t make your festive Christmas dinner. All these require preparation. You may be hosting a Christmas gathering at your home; you may be going to have holiday guests to your home. These require preparation, perhaps even a good old-fashioned house cleaning. John came on the scene knowing that he was the one sent to prepare for the coming of the Messiah. His father Zechariah sang of it at John’s birth, and no doubt told John many times: “you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins …” (Luke 1:76-77). That is, John came on the scene to give Israel a figurative house cleaning.
  • Counting Down to Christmas

    Counting Down to Christmas

    COUNTING DOWN TO CHRISTMAS n SECuLAr CELEBrATIOnS OF THE SEASOn , counting down the days to Christmas builds children up for nothing more than a feast, a vacation from school, and a cache of presents under the tree. For adults, the countdown leads to a tremen - I dous sigh of relief. Indeed, one of the most common countdowns today is provided for us by merchants, who solemnly warn, “Only XX shopping days until Christmas.” But for Catholics the end of Advent is not the end of holiday chores nor is its climax the festive celebration. Instead, the days that pass bring us closer to the birth of our Salvation, the Christ Child, who is the greatest Christmas gift we could ever receive. In religious celebrations of Advent and Christmas, counting down provides us with an opportunity to slowly reflect on the mysteries and wonder of the season. There are many ways to do this. An Advent calendar focuses on the nativity of Our Lord and on the symbols of the birth; the Jesse Tree centers on the Lord’s lineage and on salvation history. An O Antiphon House (used only the last eight days of Advent) helps us to reflect on the attributes of Christ described in the beautiful titles given to Him in these prayers. We offer some suggestions here.

To confabulate literally means to informally chat or to fabricate to compensate for gaps in ones memory. Not to imply that restorationists are prone to hyperbole when recounting the size of a rescued fish, the magnitude of the waterfall coming out of the culvert, or the heroics of a particular restoration job. The Confab is an informal gathering of fishheads that allows for participants and instructors to learn from each other’s experience.

    Notes on Ruth 202 1 Edition Dr

    Notes on Ruth 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE This book received its title in honor of the heroine of the story. One writer argued that "Naomi" is the main character in the plot, "Boaz" is the main character in the dialogue, and "Obed" is the main character in the purpose of the book.1 The name "Ruth" may mean "friendship," "comfort," or "refreshment." It appears to have been Moabite and not Hebrew, originally, though its etymological derivation is uncertain.2 Another writer suggested it may derive from the Hebrew root rwh, meaning "to soak, irrigate, refresh."3 After Ruth entered Israel, and especially after the Book of Ruth circulated, the name became popular among the Jews, and later among Christians. The same title appears over the book in its Hebrew (Masoretic), Greek (Septuagint), Latin (Vulgate), and modern language versions. DATE AND WRITER It is safe to assume that the Book of Ruth was put in its final form after David became king in Hebron, in 1011 B.C., since he is recognized as a very important figure in the genealogy (4:17, 22). How much later is hard to determine. The Babylonian Talmud attributed authorship of the book to Samuel.4 This statement reflects ancient Jewish tradition. If Samuel, or someone who lived about the same time as Samuel, wrote the book, the final genealogy must have been added much later—perhaps during the reign of David or Solomon. Modern critical scholars tend to prefer a much later date, on the basis of their theories concerning the date of the writing 1Daniel I.

    Bible Story Discussion THE STORY OF RUTH The story of Ruth and Naomi shows God’s faithfulness to his people. Let's Get Started Episode Theme: Loving Your Neighbor- God Calls His People. 1. Galatians 1:15 says that God chose you, and he has special plans for you. What gifts and talents has God given you? 2. Ruth was an ordinary person, just like you or me. She wasn't a mighty queen or a well-spoken leader. She didn't command armies or have lots of money. But God had a plan for Ruth. God used Ruth's simple obedience. As you listen to this episode, think about how you can use the gifts and talents God has given you. Memory Verse Your people will be my people, your God will be my God. Ruth 1:16 After You Listen God had a special plan for Ruth. In the first chapter of Ruth, she had to make a difficult choice. Should she stay in her homeland of Moab, like Orpah, or travel with her mother-in-law Naomi to the far off land of Israel? Naomi knew the journey would be hard and long. She did not expect her daughters-in-law to come with her. But Ruth simply could not let Naomi go alone. She told Naomi, “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.” Ruth choose to stay with Naomi and stay with God. Through Ruth’s service and words, she showed Naomi that God still loved her.
