In this episode, Bern Leckie and Owen Lynch share thoughts and feelings about the end of the book of Genesis, chapters 45 to 50, and Psalms 1 to 28.
The story of Joseph ends in a good place relationally, with reconciliation, forgiveness and restoration - it\u2019s a picture of hope. But it\u2019s also clear that there is more to come, both for Israel\u2019s family and the rest of the world.
Psalms contrast with the Bible\u2019s stories as they seem to be personal expressions across a range of emotions and situations, but they are also inspired by God, connected with his heart and concerns, and relevant to how we process the biggest issues in life together as communities.
Both of these parts of the Bible make us think about relationships - could God be grabbing our attention about this?
The next part of our boxset will look at life for God\u2019s people after some important relationships were forgotten, and Israel\u2019s family story takes a new direction in Exodus chapters 1 to 22. Listen along at your own pace at severnvineyard.org/bible.
