BINZEN 44:34

For millennia, God’s people have been carrying out a weekly Bible study plan. Every year, they read through the Torah from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In synagogue each week, they read and study a Bible passage—the weekly parshah. This week’s parshah is called “Vayigash,” which is Hebrew for “and he came near,” and covers Genesis 44:18-47:27.

Continue with the third part "The Story of Joseph." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

Genesis begins the story of God and God’s people. Throughout history, God’s people have read it to remind themselves of their place in that story. Let Prof. N.T. Wright guide you on this tour of Genesis, opening up new ways to think about this book. Over seven days, discover God’s singular purpose carried from Creation to New Creation, and how Genesis sets the stage for the grand biblical narrative.

This 8-day Bible teaching plan explores the final chapters of Genesis, tracing Joseph’s story and the surprising ways God works through sin, suffering, and failure. Each day demonstrates how God remains faithful when people falter, how grace supersedes guilt, and how the story of Genesis ultimately points us to Jesus. This plan invites you to see your own story through the lens of God’s redemption, forgiveness, and unshakable promises.
