Summary: In our passage today, we say goodbye to a dear friend (Abraham). We get to know Isaac his son in a deeper way, and are introduced to Jacob, who will become the Father of Israel. We will also come to know Issac’s brother Ishmael in a deeper way and introduced to Jacob’s brother Esau. All these men will live life, but not all will live “full satisfying” lives. Join us as we study….. “how to...

Summary: This chapter is the longest chapter in the Book of Genesis, and that is not surprising considering the whole chapter is a picture of God’s Bride…… you! Join us as the Lord says to us…… to take a good, long, lingering look at how I feel about you.

Summary: In our chapter today, we will read of the death of Sarah (Abraham’s wife), whose name means “princess”. As Abraham weeps, we will see the heart of God who says He catches and keeps all our tears in a bottle. And through all the tears, the passage gives a beautiful picture, and promise, of the resurrection. 

Summary: 2,000 years ago, the greatest three words in the history of mankind were spoken. What do they mean to you, and how do you apply them to your life today. Join us for a special message from the heart of God.

Summary: My hope is always hopeful because my God always has an ….”after these things” for me. Always a tomorrow, always a day after, whether after a failure or fault, a mountain high or a valley low, there is always an… “after these things” because there is a cross, a resurrection, by the God who provided all these things, including Himself upon the cross for me. And He is always on the move in m...

Summary: It is 25-years later, but here is the promise given to Abraham and Sarah fulfilled with the birth of Issac. The child of promise is Issac, and his name means laughter. Surely people laughed at the impossibility of having a child at such an age; but now we will read they laugh with them, in the amazement of what only God can do. He is the same God today…. And people may be laughing at what...

Summary: In our study Abraham will repeat the same failing of faith that he did almost 25 years prior. We can poke at the Father-of-Faith and ask how could you? But the Lord reminds us that these Old Testament stories were written as examples for us. So here we find several examples “for us”, and in each of them we will explore if we too are repeating the same failings time and time again….. and m...

Summary: Although the focus of the chapter is on Sodom and Gomorrah, the chapter in whole tells a broader story that goes beyond just what the chapter is known for. It speaks of the warning to believers that even the righteous can compromise. But God knew where to find Lot, and us, and He comes, and He speaks to us (any and all who are willing to hear). Join us as we study this story that is both...

Summary: In our chapter today, the Lord will “dine” with Abraham because He's a God of intimacy and fellowship with His people. God will “delight” Sarah as He tells her of the promise of the child she will have even when she's having a hard time believing.  And thirdly, the Lord “declares” to Abraham what's on His heart because God tells those that care. The question for all of us today, “what can...

Summary: When Abram was 99 God appeared to him telling him I am “God Almighty” (Heb. El Shaddai). Shaddai comes from an old word meaning “mountain” and refers to His mighty power that is high and unshakable. And, if Abram wanted to know God’s power, he had to walk, that is live, close to the Lord. So too the passage before us speaks the same unto us. How can we do it? Join us for Genesis 17 to for...

Summary: Time has a way of erasing the promises of God that He has given us but have yet to come to pass. And Abraham and Sarah have forgotten His promise, so they try to put human logic into the middle of faith, and it just never works out, other than a mess in the flesh. But the story in this chapter comes one of the greatest stories in the Bible as we see that God sees Hagar who is mistreated a...

Summary: Abram is fearful, a great high moment comes with a new reality that there are things outside his control. In the midst of his fear a beautiful phase appears for the first time in the Bible, “The word of the LORD came to Abram”, and it becomes the foundation not just for his fear, but his faith as well. Whether it is fear or faith, the Lord has a “Word” for you in all your questions. Join...

Summary: What a golden nugget of a chapter as we will read that after Abram rescues his nephew Lot who was taking captive; that on his return Abram will meet the King of Salem (whose name is Melchizedek), who very well could have been the appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament. Absolutely an amazing passage as it will speak volumes of not just tying the Old Testament to the New Testament (as we...

Summary: Even after Abram’s failing of faith down in Egypt, God meets him at the altar he had built in the Promised Land before the failing. God is so gracious, kind, and longsuffering with us; and is always ready to meet us to fellowship and commune together with Him in love. Maybe you need to come back to the altar of His promises today for a fresh reunion and restoration. Join us as we see the...

Summary: The title of this study is “nothing”, and when asked what we studied, we will say “nothing”. And the “nothing” that we will study and apply to our lives personally is that Abraham did “nothing” to be chosen and called by God. There was “nothing” in or about Abraham that made him chosen; it was all God’s grace to call him. Therefore, as we study the life of Abraham in the chapters to come,...

Summary: In our passage at the Tower of Babel, we see a whole world with one language and one speech, and they totally misspend it on self and self-serving purposes, all of which crumbles and goes off into confusion. For us as believers in Christ, we have a chapter filled with great application to abundant life, with clear focus and direction. Join us! 

Summary: Although often skipped over because this chapter seems like a long list of names, this chapter is foundational and critical to understanding prophecies in the Bible, and the root of all false religions, while at the same time it gives every individual follower of Christ the challenge of how they want to be known as disciples of Christ.

Summary: God not only makes a covenant with mankind with words (never to flood the earth again with water), but He gives the rainbow to be the sign to remind us of His covenant. He does the same with the “New Covenant”, that our sins will be forgiven and washed away never to be remembered by Him, and He gives us a sign to remember His promised covenant, and that is the fellowship of Communion with...

Summary: God of course never forgot Noah and family, nor will He forget you in the midst of your storm or trial. The word actually means, to “think upon”, and God was continually thinking upon Noah and family, just as He thinks upon you and your family. And this chapter 8, takes us into amazing depths of God’s thoughts for us, and the chapter closes with God “sharing His heart” with Noah; amazingl...

Summary: For the Lord to tell Noah to “Come into the Ark”, could only mean that the Lord was in the Ark. In our passage we will look into all that meant to Noah and family in the midst of flood; and what it means to each of us in the trials of life we go through.

Summary: Even in the midst of the flood to come, God’s grace abounds and extends and reaches to any and all who will receive it. God’s heart grieves because of the flood to come, yet His grieved heart comes with compassion as He provides a way out for any willing to get on the Ark.

Summary: Here we have the family album, that all of us are descendants of and from, and we will be blessed tremendously as we read not of boring genealogy, but God’s amazing grace, all the way from Adam to you and me.

Summary: In our passage today, we study the story of Cain and Abel; and the whole matter was based on and began with Cain’s wrong attitude and understanding of what God requires of a sacrifice/offering. This passage is vital to our understanding of sacrifices and offerings made unto the Lord, because in Romans 12:1-2, we are called to be “Living Sacrifices/Offerings”. Genesis 4 will lay the founda...

Summary: Nothing will make sense in this whole world and in our whole lives personally, apart from understanding chapters 1, 2 and 3 Genesis. But when we look and understand chapters 1, 2 and 3 of Genesis, then everything in life will make sense even in so much senselessness that we see in the world today. 

Summary: The Lord’s rests in chapter 2, and speaks a message to us that we too can rest, in all things as we rest in Him; whether that be work, ministry, marriage, or singleness…. We can rest in Him.
