This page was originally developed as a placeholder for my notes on weekly lessons during times we were unable to meet because of Covid issues. We did not meet in person for extended periods in obedience to state and local mandates (laws–Romans 13:1-7; I Peter 2:13-17) and, even more importantly, out of consideration for the health and safety of ourselves, loved ones, friends, and coworkers (Romans 13:8-10; Philippians 2:3-4). Some of the lessons were drawn from existing studies on the Bible Studies page (e.g., Let Us be Humble, Prayer, Adam, and Noah), and others were combined into new studies (Our Lord Jesus Christ, Love Our Neighbors as Ourselves, and The Law of Moses).
As our group has grown, not everyone can meet on a weekly basis due to busy schedules or health issues. Consequently, I try to post my “weekly” lessons on this page; one posted lesson may take a few weeks to discuss. In the interest of keeping this page from getting too cluttered, old lessons are periodically removed, especially if they are covered by studies on the Bible Studies page.
Update 11/3/2023: I did not resume the studies on Moses because other studies including Love Our Neighbors as Ourselves, and The Law of Moses seemed of more importance and through which I learned a great deal. These studies have been posted on the Bible Studies page. Interestingly, the study on loving our neighbors was triggered by a comment by one of our Bible study members during one or our discussions on Ruth and Esther, and the study on the Law was triggered by a discussion during our study on loving our neighbors. I love our group! Perhaps we will get back to the Moses study later. We’ll see what we study next!
7/7/2022: We’ve temporarily interrupted our in-person studies due to busy summer schedules. I decided to hold off on the remainder of our studies on Moses until we are meeting again. In the meantime, I will post shorter series of lessons on other Old Testament people beginning with Ruth.
