On the first episode of Bible Brief Level 2 we dive into the creation of everything. We explore the significance of God's creative power and the purpose behind His design. From the formation of the universe to the intricate complexity of life on Earth, we witness the marvels brought into existence by God's Word. We highlight the special creation of man and woman, made in the image of God, and the establishment of marriage...

Mankind falls in the Garden. Though God gave an order, a mandate, and a prohibition to Adam and Eve, their disobedience leads to awful consequences. A serpent deceived the woman into eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the man does nothing to lead the woman (or himself) away from the temptation. After their sin, the couple attempts to hide from God, yet God graciously provides for them. While they ar...

Adam and Eve have children, and we meet the two oldest sons, Cain and Abel, before seeing the events leading up to the great flood.. We also meet Noah and his family as a remnant chosen by God to survive the impending judgment upon a corrupt and wicked world. The flood soon comes upon the earth, and the residents of Noah’s ark, return to dry ground with a new world in front of them. 

Readings: Genesis 4:1-16, Genesis 6:5-2...

The flood is over and God promises to never flood the earth again in judgment. Soon, Noah plants a vineyard and becomes drunk. His son comes into Noah’s tent, seeing his father’s nakedness, and Noah curses his son’s son for this breach. Soon, the people of the city of Babylon endeavor to build a tower that reaches the heavens, defying God's command to fill the earth. God intervenes by scattering the people and confusing their ...

In the Fathers Era, we see God call Abram out of the city of Ur. He calls him to leave everything behind and embark on a journey to a land that God will show him. More than that, He calls him with the promises of the Abrahamic Covenant… promises of land, seed, and blessing to the world. In the promised Land, Abram's faith is counted to him as righteousness. Soon we witness the name change from Abram to Abraham, signifying a ne...

We meet Isaac and Ishmael, the first two sons of Abraham. Abraham and Sarah, desperate for a child, take matters into their own hands and conceive a son, Ishmael, through Sarah's maidservant Hagar. However, God confirms that His covenant promises will be fulfilled through Isaac, the son born to Abraham and Sarah. As Isaac grows, he becomes the embodiment of God's promises, and Abraham's faith is tested when God comma...

Today we meet Abraham’s grandsons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob, known for his deceitful ways, manages to gain the birthright and blessing intended for his older brother, Esau. We explore the significance of God's announcement that "the older will serve the younger" and how it plays out in the lives of these two brothers. Despite their flaws, we see how God's blessing is ultimately a gift and not something earned throu...

Jacob's favoritism towards his son Joseph sparks jealousy and hatred among his brothers. Joseph's dreams of ruling over his brothers only intensify their animosity. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, Joseph eventually rises to a position of power in Egypt through his God-given ability to interpret dreams. As a severe famine strikes the land, Joseph's brothers unknowingly come to him for food, not realizing that h...
