Lesson 2: Early Israel: Reflections at the Boundary--Continues the exploration of the topic of land in the Bible, examining land as God's gift to us to be possessed. We will see that although land is always a gift, it is also a task, a temptation, and a challenge. (Selected scriptures from Deut)
Lesson 3: The Monarchy: From a Period of Glory to Downfall-- Looks at the effect land has on God's people; the sad truth is that just as God's landed people forgot what He had told them about remembering where they had come from, so, we, too, tend to forget our wilderness years through which God has led us. (Deut 17:14-20; 1 Sam 8:5, 11-20; 12:25; 2 Sam 7:8-11:11-12; 1 Ki 4; 8:12-13; 9:15-16; 11:1-5, 29-39)
Lesson 4: Tragedy and Hope: Exile, Restoration, and the Hope for a Deliverer--Hope can be ours in Christ. The tragedy is when we forget God in our passionate fever to be self-secure. We end up living in exile as a result of taking God for granted. (Prov 13:12; Is 40:31; Jer 17:7; 30:12-17; Ez 36:22-32; 48:35; Rom 4:18; 5:5; 15:13; Phi 3:13-14; Col 1:27; Heb 6:18b-19; 1 Pe 1:13)
