Genesis (Program #110) – The Shiftings of Birthright in Scripture

As we come to a portion of Genesis that has far reaching implications for God’s people.   We are going to focus today on a matter that appears Genesis, in which we will find out is very meaningful, very significant.  Yet like many other things like we’ve seen during our study of Genesis, this has been largely overlooked historically by God’s people.  We are going to look at the matter of birthright in the context of Jacob and Esau.

Genesis (Program #109) – Blessing

In some of our previous studies, we’ve covered the matter of blessing, but mostly in a passing way or in a way of comparison with grace, which is a more inward experience of God.  But today we focus the whole message on blessing.  How does the blessing of the divine revelation that we are going to see today differ from our traditional or religious concept?

Genesis (Program #106) – The Process of Maturity (1)

Today we come to Genesis 37 and this is a very rich portion of God’s Word.  I think many will be surprised.  Because many people I presume begin to read the Bible in Genesis 1 and may be give up before they get to this rich portion of the book.  It has so much practical application to our own life situations.

We’ve been with Jacob at Bethel for quite some time.  But today Jacob leaves Bethel and has two very profound experiences, the death of his beloved Rachel and the birth of his beloved son Benjamin.   This message today deals with Jacob’s natural choice.  What do we mean by this term “natural choice”?

Genesis (Program #102) – The Way to be Perfected as a Pillar

Today’s program is going to focus on some very practical and experience-oriented fellowship.  We’re going to get a personal testimony from Witness Lee regarding how the Lord called him to serve and some critical revelations and realizations that he received very early in his Christian life.  And we are going to hear several references to Witness Lee and his time with Watchman Nee in China.  For the benefit of those listeners that are not familiar with the Lord’s move in China in the first half of the century, we are going to say a short word.
