CONTENTS
Book 4 in the OBSCURE series looks at eight different characters whose stories reveal God at the very center of their lives.

Joseph. The virgin birth is investigated through Joseph, the husband of Mary. Joseph's engagement turned out to be much different that he would have expected. The angel of the Lord told Joseph to name the child "Jesus" because He would save the people from their sins.
Sinful woman. True worship and God's forgiveness are observed in the story of the sinful woman who anointed Jesus' feet with her tears and then wiped His feet with her hair. Someone who is forgiven much will worship much.
The Potter. God's sovereignty is the focus of the stories about the potter and his clay. This is a different and unique study as the focus is on the ten principles illustrated by examining the potter and his clay as compared to Jesus and His disciples.
Ananias & Sapphira. Ananias and Sapphira both died after they lied about their promises to give the proceeds of a sale of property to the church. They kept back (or embezzled) monies they committed to the church. God was not pleased! Jabez. We observe the nature and characteristics of the prayer of Jabez and consider whether our personal prayers are big enough. Are your prayers for things you need or for things you want? Are you praying prayers that have eternal significance?
Zophar. The study of Zophar, one of Job's "friends," provides an opportunity to reflect on the Retribution Principle. This principle is foundational to understanding many of the proverbs in the Bible.
Ten Virgins. The parable of the ten virgins tells us that we must be prepared and ready, because the Bridegroom could return at any time. It also makes it clear that we must have a relationship with Christ. Knowing about Jesus is not sufficient; we must truly know Him.
The Samaritans. Last we examine the circumstances surrounding Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well. Jesus described living water and said that everyone who drank water from the well would be thirsty again, but the water He would give would become a well of water “springing up to eternal life.” The woman rightly perceived that Jesus is the Messiah and rushed into the town to tell the leaders what she saw and heard. That raises the question, "Have I rightly discerned who Jesus is and what am I doing with that information?"
