Retaꞌ Ahun-hunut 46:29

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.

Like Joseph’s story, our own stories contain places of brokenness and experiences of rejection, jealousy, injustice, and grief. We also find glimpses of hope, perseverance, forgiveness, and unexpected blessing. This plan will guide you in an honest exploration of your own experiences and how they’ve shaped you. You’ll watch the God of Israel miraculously reconcile and restore Joseph and his family, while you reflect on your own journey of healing.

Have you ever wondered about your purpose in this life? Some seek their so-called destiny for a lifetime and never find it, while others seem to embrace a calling in which they find fulfillment.

Out of the Mire follows the life of Joseph - a betrayed slave who waited patiently on God to save him. Covering topics of arrogance, dissatisfaction, guilt, and fear, discover how God shines His light in Joseph's life in unexpected ways. In the middle of your trials, this eight-day study will encourage you to persevere and trust God at your lowest point.
