Jacob Tree Ornament

Complete the ornament for our Jacob (Advent) Tree.
You will present it on Monday, December 8 with a brief statement about what iti is and what is means.  Save those slips of paper you received with the assignment!

Memorize 10 meaningful passages from the Old Testament. These first 6 are the ones I am assigning.  You need to select 4 that are meaningful for you.  Anticipate that you will be asked to write these in the FINAL and to write about the meaning of the passage.

#1--Numbers 6: 24-25  "May the LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace."

#2--Dt. 6:4-5  "Here, Israel. the LORD......"   All of this.

#3--Isaiah 6:3  "Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory."

#4--Jeremiah 29:11-14   :For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.  Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.  When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me says the LORD."

#5--Micah 6:8  "...what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God."

#6--Ps. 23   "The LORD is my shepherd...."  Yes, know all of this psalm.

Select
#7 One proverb.  You have already worked with one about friendship.  That would be a possible choice... or find another PROVERB that you like.

#8, #9 and #10.
There are lots of possibilities for these.  You may want to use the Concordance in the back of the Bible to select one on your favorite theme. 

You may select a second verse from the Book of Proverbs.
You may select a part (verse) of a Psalm. 
Some other ideas:

This is the story of Samuel and the choosing/anointing of a king.
Tuesday, November 4, you will have a worksheet on Ch. 6 to complete in class.
You many use your textbook, but you may not share textbooks.
What you do not complete of the worksheet becomes your homework which will be due on Block Day.

If you did not complete the essay topics on Tuesday's in-class worksheet, please complete them by Friday.

Essay Do two of these on your own paper!

2 questions:  Select any 1 topic from #1 to 6 AND everyone does #7.

 

ONE OF THESE

 1.    God sometimes chooses the most unlikely persons to accomplish God’s purposes in the world. Give an example of this from the Book of Judges.

  2     Explain how the practice of the ban and violent warfare could be justified by scriptural writers as God’s will.

  3.    Reflect in writing about the difficulty a person, perhaps you, can have in holding nothing back in his or her devotion to God. Then recall a story from the Book of Joshua that illustrates the consequences of not doing so.

  4.    Is the Canticle of Deborah meant to glorify violence? Explain your answer.

 5.    Tell the story of a man from the Book of Judges who might have been great if he had used his gifts to do good. What message does his story have for you personally?

6.    The Jews long debated the question of whether it was right or good that a Gentile be welcomed by marriage into the community of Israel. How did the Book of Ruth shed light on this question?
