This course is a series of Bible lessons on the Old Testament designed for older (middle school) children. Each lesson is about 20 minutes in length. The video portion of each lesson is accompanied by a Lesson Guide containing quizzes and test questions. The Lesson Guide is available in pdf format and can be downloaded or printed out for the student to complete in class. This course is very well suited for both home schools and private Christian schools worldwide, though it is primarily designed for use in a group setting. Parents and teachers can provide additional guidance to supplement these lessons and Bible knowledge tests, if desired.
In Genesis 15:4, God said to Abram, “He that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.” Abram and Sarai, because they were married, were as one. The promised heir should have been born of Sarai. However, as time passed, and it seemed that God would not fulfill His promise, Sarai devised her own plan, to which Abram consented. The plan was to have a child by one who was not Abram’s wife (flesh)—Sarai’s maid, Hagar. In so doing, they did not rely upon the promise of God.
