An Alien Among You | Genesis 23:1-20
The record of Sarah’s death and burial in Genesis 23 reminds us that life is inescapably brief. Along the way, it’s accompanied by bereavement and blessing. But for followers of Jesus, life is best lived as believing exiles.
The LORD Will Provide | Genesis 22:1-19
Genesis 22:1-19 shows that God does test His people. But He also provides what He requires. Our responsibility is to believe Him and obey Him.
God Is With You | Genesis 21
Through three scenes from the life of Abraham in Genesis 21, we are reminded that everything God does through His people is intended to stir up worship, while bringing a wider witness of God’s greatness.God works mightily through weak vessels who can be fearful, and who do foolish things. That way, God’s strength and grace are magnified through our weakness.
Fighting Sin | Genesis 19:30-20:18
In Genesis 19:30–20:18, Lot's story ends badly, while Abraham resorts to deceit again. Together, these two stories include three insights that can help believers in our battle against sin.
The Just Judge of the Whole Earth | Genesis 18:16-19:29

God's Friend | Genesis 18:1-15
In Genesis 18:1-15 we’ll see the loving, abiding friendship of God toward His people, as He draws near to them in fellowship, and makes clear His truth and promises to them so they can continue to believe His Word and serve Him faithfully.
I Will Be Their God | Genesis 17
In Genesis 16, God changed Abram and Sarai’s names to Abraham and Sarah. There is great significance in this act that transformed their identities and their lives. And the four things God gave in connection with Abraham’s identity all have relevance to the lives of those today who are Abraham’s children by faith.
The God Who Sees | Genesis 16
In Genesis 16, God’s mercy prevails even when His people mistreat one who is outside of the believing community. While His people are foolish, God is compassionate. He pursues the one who is wandering away and leads her to become a worshiper.
Abram Believed the Lord | Genesis 15
In Genesis 15 God met a fearful and discouraged Abram, and gave him gracious assurances, a unilateral promise, and patient delay. These truths give hope to us today when we are tempted to be anxious by our circumstances. In Abram’s response, we’ll also see the Bible’s first explanation of the doctrine of justification by faith.
Blessed By God, Most High | Genesis 14
In Genesis 14 we’ll see a crisis, its resolution, and its aftermath. From this narrative we’ll see how to prepare for and respond to a crisis, and how to guard against a worldly response when the crisis is over.
Faith That Forms Conviction | Genesis 13
In Genesis 13 we see three responses of faith so that we live with conviction when circumstances test us.1. Returning to worship (vv,1-4).2. Relinquishing rights (vv.5-13).3. Resting in the Promises (vv.14-18).
He Remains Faithful | Genesis 12:10-20
In Genesis 12:10-20 we’ll see the faithlessness of man, characterized by dread and deception, contrasted against the steadfast faithfulness of God, characterized by provision and protection.
The God Who Says, “I Will” | Genesis 12:1-9
Genesis 12:1-9 tells how God encourages His people’s faith with promises that rest on His own faithfulness, and shows us the example of one man’s response of obedient faith.
Creation, Fall and Redemption | Genesis 12:1-3 (Recap Genesis 1-11 - Beginnings)
An overview of Genesis 1 through 11 will show us three of the Bible’s major themes and will pave the way for appreciating God’s covenant with Abraham. We will also see crucial implications of each theme.
