Core Scripture Themes

1. Understanding The Lord Was with Joseph

Jacob saw a ladder reaching to heaven at Bethel, covenanting to give a tenth unto God. Later, Jacob wrestled in earnest prayer and was named Israel, prevailing with God. As we study these chapters, the Lord teaches principles of covenant living, faith, and patience.

'And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.' (Genesis 28:16)

2. Hearing the Voice of the Lord

Throughout the Old Testament, the Lord spoke through prophets, whispering peace to those who sought Him in sincerity and humility.

"Hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God..."

3. The Promise of Deliverance

When trials and challenges arise, Heavenly Father never leaves us alone. His covenants provide an anchor that keeps our testimonies steady.

"The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer..." (Psalm 18:2)

4. Light Along the Path

Jesus Christ is the center of the Old Testament and the center of our lives. Following His example fills our homes and ward family with love.

"I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness..." (John 8:12)
