In Genesis 18 made a promise so outrageous that Sarah laughed.
The promises that He has made you are bigger.
Throughout Scripture, God has promised to save and sanctify you, to wipe away all your tears, and to dwell with you in Paradise for eternity. Now those are promises! But how can we be sure they apply to us (and that they will be fulfilled)? That will be the focus of today’s sermon.
Questions That We’ll Answer:
1) Who were the three men that appeared to Abraham in the desert?
2) What promises did One of the men make to Abraham and Sarah?
3) Why did Sarah laugh, and what was God’s reaction to that laughter?

Genesis: Abraham, Sarah, And God’s Big Promise

God made Abraham mind-boggling promises. Abraham believed Him.
In Genesis 12, Abraham was introduced with little fanfare. He was a man from a pagan family and a pagan background. And yet, God was going to make this nobody a series of incredible promises – promises that Abraham believed in, and then acted accordingly.
Questions That We’ll Answer:
A) What were these amazing promises? And how many were there?
B) Who are the true children of Abraham? Are you one of his children?
C) What does it mean to be called a ‘friend’ of God?

Genesis: Abraham, The Friend Of God

God told the people to go outward. Instead, they went upward.
“Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth,” God told the people. But they said no – in their minds, it was safer and smarter to stay in one place. And so, they built a formidable ‘tower’ in Genesis 11. In today’s study, we’ll read about that tower (and God’s response).
Questions That We’ll Answer:
A) Why was God angered by the building of this tower?
B) Why did God confuse the language of the builders?
C) What relationship does Genesis 11 have with Acts 2 (Pentecost)?

Genesis: The Tower Of Babel

The wrong question: how did all the animals fit in the ark?
The most crucial question of Genesis 6 is NOT about the animals. Not at all. Rather, it is this: why was an ark needed in the first place? In other words, why was God willing to flood the entire globe, only six chapters after creating it? Seems drastic. So why did God do it, and what does it tell us about the future?
Questions That We’ll Answer:
A) In what way did the flood typify the wrath of God ‘poured out?’
B) In what way did the ark typify Jesus Christ? Is Jesus in this text?
C) Why did Christ refer to future days as being ‘like the days of Noah?’

Genesis: Noah And The Great Flood

That didn’t take long, did it?
You might have thought Genesis 4 couldn’t go worse than Genesis 3 – that mankind would have learned its lesson. Surely man would do better! Surely he’d turn away from sin! However, before Genesis 4 was over, a blood soaked corpse proved otherwise.
Questions That We’ll Answer:
A) Why did Cain kill his brother? What was wrong with his sacrifice?
B) Why did God warn Cain that ‘sin lay at his door?’
C) Is it possible that sin is at our door as well? What should we do?
