Bible Study Notes on Acts 2 – 20170116
Acts 2:1 "Day of Pentecost..." Greek term for the fiftieth day of the feast of weeks.

Bible Study Notes on Acts 1 – 20170115

Bible Study Notes on Genesis 47 – 20170105
Genesis 47:1 "...Joseph went and told Pharaoh..." Introduction of his family to Pharaoh. Wonder what all was going through Joseph's mind.
