The Book of Genesis (Week 20) - Lauren Blake

Reflection Questions:

•  Why is the theme of sacrifice core to the stories of Christ followers in Scripture? Why is sacrifice the mechanism for prosperity, salvation, and eternity?

• How should Christians approach the idea of legacy? If legacy is setting up future generations, how can we "plan" for the future while not slipping into control and idolatry?

The Book of Genesis (Week 19) - Fr. Drew Knowles

Reflection Questions:

•  Although Isaac was clearly not an infant in Genesis 22, how might we use the logic of Genesis 22 to build a case for infant baptism?

• Why do you think the Bible teaches us to bury the dead? What is the symbolic significance of burial?

The Book of Genesis (Week 18) - Fr. Andrew Gray

Reflection Questions:

• Rather than living like Lot in the city, how can we follow Abraham's example and seek the blessing of our city? How ought we intercede on behalf of the city?

• Where else (in both Scripture and history) do we see birth leading to the blessing of the gentile nations?

The Book of Genesis (Week 17) - Fr. Drew Knowles

Reflection Questions:

• Read Deuteronomy 19:15. Where else in the Bible do we see two witnesses being sent to scope out a wicked city prior to the city being judged and destroyed?

• The narrative arc of the story of Lot has a “Lot” to teach us about Christian perseverance. Jesus says as much in Luke 17:32. The fact that God has rescued us does not preclude us from having to follow Him and trust Him and stay within the sphere of His blessing. Even redeemed Christian people can find themselves in caves of their own making. Review the life of Lot (Genesis 12-19). What do you think were the most pivotal moments? How would you have counseled Lot in those moments?

The Book of Genesis (Week 16) - Sarah Stone

Reflection Questions:

• Read Matthew 25:34-40 and Hebrews 13:2. What are some ways you can show humility and hospitality to God in your own life today? What are some opportunities the Lord has given you to offer rest and comfort?

• If Abraham represents God’s chosen people (Israel and, later, the Church) what does this tell us about how God interacts with us? How does God invite us to pray? How does God allow us to participate with Him in His blessing and judging of the earth?
