Week of Sept 27 Readings

Here they are:

Sep 27: Gen 31-32; Matt 9:18-38
Sep 28: Gen 33-35; Matt 10:1-20
Sep 29: Gen 36-38; Matt 10:21-42
Sep 30: Gen 39-40; Matt 11
Oct 1: Gen 41-42; Matt 12:1-23
Oct 2: Gen 43-45; Matt 12:24-50
Oct 3: Gen 46-48; Matt 13:1-30

At the end of next week, we will have nearly completed Genesis. Note that beginning with Genesis 36 we are in the Joseph cycle of stories, which reads like a novella. The Joseph stories can be a bit surprising and perhaps even disturbing to someone reading them for the first time. There is family strife, deceit, favoritism, jealousy, and violence. But there is also reconciliation and restoration.

Happy reading.
