Today we return to Genesis 17 to consider God's enduring promises of land and blessing for his people. How are we to understand those promises in light of current events in Israel and the Middle East? What do these promises mean for our geopolitical relationships? Join us as we consider this and more.

When God addresses Abraham after 13 years of seeming silence, he asks him to do some surprising things, including changing his name and undergoing circumcision...at 99!!! As remarkable as these things are, God has good reasons, and this reaffirmation of the covenant reveals some incredible things about God Almighty!

In Genesis 16, we find one of the stupidest plans in all of scripture, and it predictably goes horribly awry! People suffer and our plans fail when we focus on our lack, follow bad advice, forsake image bearers, and forget who God is. Let us learn from Abram and Sarai how to avoid abysmal failure!

In Genesis 15, Abram comes up with his own plan for how God's promises might be fulfilled. However, God rejects Abram's plan and reaffirms his promises to him, by having him look toward heaven. Join us as we consider these wonderful promises, and how we too can look beyond our present circumstances to God's wonderful, unfolding, plan!

Genesis 15:6 is one of the most consequential verses in the Bible. It provides the foundation for the doctrine of justification by faith alone. Join us as we explore the significance of this verse in two parts!
