Genesis 22 - The Ultimate Test Of Faith

Abraham has finally been given the promised son. Now God asks him to do the unthinkable. He is asked to sacrifice his son Isaac. God is asking Abraham to give up what is most precious, but if Abraham obeys God, the promise of the seed will be  nullified. Will Abraham trust and obey God when His command just doesn't make sense?

Genesis 21 - God Fulfills His Promise

Finally, after 25 years, God brings forth Isaac from Abraham and Sarah. The family rejoices as God's promise comes to pass. Also, the threat of Ishmael is removed so the "seed" has no rival. Likewise, Abraham makes a covenant of peace with the king of the land and worships his God there in peace. Everything has worked out. Life is good - until God asks Abraham to do something crazy in chapter 22.

Genesis 20 - When Sin Just Won't Go Away

Genesis 18:16-33 God Teaches on Judgment and Mercy

God tells Abraham about the impending judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah so he will teach his children about walking in "the way of the Lord." This means to do justly according to God's standard, and love mercy. Abraham intercedes for the people testing the mercy of God, who declares He will spare the city if 10 righteous people are found.

Genesis 16 - Trading Faith For Expediency

Abram comes right off the heels of God formalizing His covenant and instead of trusting in faith and waiting upon the Lord, he listens to Sarai and takes Hagar into his bed. They desired to see the fulfillment of the promise and figured the ends justify the means. They simply traded waiting in faith for what was easy and expedient.

Abram is faced with yet another test of his faith. After rescuing his nephew Lot, Abram is greeted by two kings. One, Melchizedek is a foreshadow of the great High Priest Jesus Christ.

Genesis 13 - Walking By Faith Not By Sight

Abram has learned a lesson in Egypt. Now, back in the land, Abram does not selfishly strive to keep what is his. He trusts the promise of God and graciously allows Lot to choose which part of the land he wants. God expands Abram's blessing by faith, while Lot walks by sight.

Genesis 12:10-20 God Preserves His Promise

Abram experiences a famine in his new land and responds with a lack of faith in God's promise. He journeys to Egypt and pretends to be Sarai's brother.

Mankind again becomes united in their rebellion against God. God disperses and confounds the language of man to keep the new world of Noah from becoming like the old world. From now on, God will focus his redemptive purposes on a single family - that of Abram
