Sabbath Class 12/22

In today’s lesson we read Genesis 16 and 17 from the torah and Isaiah 54 from the prophets. This week, we did something slightly different than you may be used to. After the reading of the torah and the prophets, we had a panel type discussion about the torah reading. Joseph and Debbie Good, and Dr. Walter Oakley came in to participate.  The panel discussion went well and was a fun way to teach the weekly lesson.

I think that you will enjoy this teaching.  Among other things, we talked about the covenant of circumcision and the idea of a circumcision of heart. Many Gentile Christian think that the Torah and prophets teach of a circumcision of the foreskin while the Christian Scriptures speak of a circumcision of the heart. One other primary points brought out in this week’s teaching is that Moses taught about the circumcision of heart in the Torah! (see for instance Deuteronomy chapters 10 and 30). The prophets did as well.  One example is found in Jeremiah 4:4.

I pray that you are blessed by this lesson.

Shalom, Shalom
