Genesis 28:10-22
Jacob’s Dream. One of the most picturesque passages in Genesis. But, if you’ve been paying attention over the past few weeks you have likely guessed that the account is not about descending and ascending angels, per se. It is actually about Jesus. You need only read 13 verses this week! Genesis 28:10-22. See you Sunday.
Genesis 25:12 – 28:5
These are the generations of Isaac. Over the next few weeks we will look specifically at the life of Jacob. More particularly, we will delve into the ways God reveals himself in the life of Jacob. Read Genesis 25:12-28:5. See you Sunday.
Genesis 23:1-25:11
This is our final Sunday in the life of Abraham. Only 3 verses (12:1-3) were needed for God to call Abraham. But notice how much room is given to finding the burial place for Sarah, Abraham’s wife, a full 20 verses (23:1-20). I find this part tender, indeed. Next the narrative moves to finding a … Read moreGenesis 23:1-25:11
Genesis 16:1-22:19
The binding of Isaac. No biblical account is so challenging. And none is so crucial. If Abraham obeys God, the only means for the fulfillment of the covenant will be destroyed. If Abraham does not obey God, there is no covenant. But the angel of the Lord said to Abraham, “because you have done this … Read moreGenesis 16:1-22:19
Genesis 11:27-15:21

And I will make of you a … Read moreGenesis 11:27-15:21
Thanksgiving Letter.
October 11th, 2010 Dear St. George’s. Happy thanksgiving. Here’s a thought from scripture. We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on … Read moreThanksgiving Letter.
Genesis 10:1-11:26
“These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.” Genesis 10:1 Everything was going just fine, until people undertook the biggest construction project since Noah built the ark. They said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top … Read moreGenesis 10:1-11:26
Genesis 6:9-9:29
The Flood. This week we will be looking at “the generations of Noah” (Genesis 6:9). The account plunges us into the flood. We will see that the account of the flood isn’t about the flood, or the animals, or even about Noah, per se. It is all about God revealing His character by keeping His … Read moreGenesis 6:9-9:29
Genesis 5:1-6:8
Noah. This week we will be looking at “the generations of Adam” (5:1). This account will bring us to Noah. The seed promised to rule the earth (Genesis 1:26-28) and crush the serpent (Genesis 3:15) will continue through the covenant line of Seth even as man’s hearts become progressively harder and harder.
