For many years, I simply imagined God simply snatching that rib out of Adam almost immediately and creating Eve. However, that’s not exactly how the bible reads. After God decides that Adam needs a partner, he creates all the animals and birds and brought them to Adam to name which seems quite a bloody daunting task if you ask me. And finally, when Adam completes his task of naming all the animals, there is still not a suitor for him. Talk about an unproductive day. Or week. Or maybe even longer. I guess it’s then that God takes matters into his own hands, puts Adam to sleep, and stealthily steals a rib. And from this, the first woman is created. Donald Miller has suggested that maybe God did this so that everyday of his life, Adam would fully appreciate and cherish Eve, because he would remember the long, grueling process it took to obtain this suitable partner. Because maybe it is only in the absence of another that we can begin to understand how blessed we are to have them in our lives. But anyway, after the creation of Eve, we hear the first words of man recorded in the bible and it just happens to be poetry: “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken” . So, from the very beginning of the human race, we see an interconnectedness between male and female. Essentially, they share flesh and bones with one another. NO (1B) i.

Jesus delivered all humanity from sin and death, giving us freedom and founding the church * the body of Christ. Moses was in the wilderness for 40 years, working as a shepherd, before God called him back to Egypt to deliver his people. Jesus, the Chief Shepherd of our souls, fasted 40 days and 40 nights before beginning his ministry. (2B) i. To choose to identify with others ii. To identify with the Jews, oppressed and downtrodden, when all the power of Pharaoh's palace is yours for the taking, requires tremendous humility. iii. Recognize that everyone has something to contribute. Listen to the ideas of your coworkers. iv. It 's not about self- promotion. It's about helping others. It's about teaching others. It's about helping others achieve their potential. It's about the mission. NO (5A) All three synoptic gospels record that Jesus was tempted after His baptism and before He began His ministry. The account in Mark is very brief (Mark 1:12). Matthew and Luke give fuller accounts, the only substantial difference being the order of the last two temptations (Matt. 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13). Jesus is tempted to turn stones into bread, to throw Himself off the pinnacle of the Temple so that God will rescue Him spectacularly, and to gain control of the world through worshiping Satan. Each of the temptations seems to be directed both to His personal relationship to His Father and to His mission on earth. “If you are the Son of God . . .” echoes the declaration made at His baptism and is heard again when His other period of intense testing in the passion reaches its climax on the cross (Matt. 27:40,43). NO (5B) i. Count on your death with Christ. ii. Count on Christ's life in you. iii. Arm yourself with the Word of God. NO (8A) i. The prayer of faith: James 5:15 says, "And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up." In this context, prayer is offered in faith for someone who is sick, asking God to heal. When we pray, we are to believe in the power and goodness of God (Mark 9:23). ii. the prayer of thanksgiving: We see another type of prayer in Philippians 4:5: thanksgiving or thanks to God. "With thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Many examples of thanksgiving prayers can be found in the Psalms. -The prayer of consecration: Sometimes, prayer is a time of setting ourselves apart to follow God’s will. Jesus made such a prayer the night before His crucifixion: “And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will’” (Matthew 26:39). iii. The prayer of intercession: Many times, our prayers include requests for others as we intercede for them. We are told to make intercession “for everyone” in 1 Timothy 2:1. Jesus serves as our example in this area. The whole of John 17 is a prayer of Jesus on behalf of His disciples and all believers. NO (8B) i. Faith ii. Thankfulness iii. Constancy
