Week #12: Vayechi: "He Lived"

Updated: Dec 28, 2023

JACOB AND JOSEPH DIE:

After the story's climax and Joseph's family is restored, this short reading passes with two major events that have interesting connections to the rest of Scripture. Before Jacob's passing he speaks over his sons, blesses Joseph's sons, and prepares himself and his family for his passing. Do not mistake the slow pace of this reading with a lack of importance, take your time to reflect on the narrative.

In this week's study we have several study suggestions that we pray edifies you and your family in your faith. Download week #12 study guide by clicking the "click to download" image.

GET THE MOST OUT OF THE RAISING WARRIORS BIBLE STUDY GUIDES:

How Did Raising Warriors Begin? In this short, fun video we describe the basic story of how the Raising Warriors Study Guides came into existence. While this is our personal journey as a teacher and a youth pastor we began to see a great need for solid, Biblically sound Bible Studies for families. However, that proved to be a very difficult task.

This study guide is unique in so many ways, and it may take a few weeks to get into a good rhythm. We encourage everyone to watch this short video before using the Raising Warriors Family Study Guides. This study is likely not even close to anything you may have seen int the past, and it can be a little overwhelming at first. Have no fear, this video explains exactly what to expect, and how to implement it with your family in the most effective manner possible.
