God’s Covenant with Abram (Abraham) is central to God’s redemptive plans in the Bible and history. God chooses a person, whom he will bless and through whom God’s blessing of salvation will reach all peoples. God calls Abram to leave his father’s house and homeland. Abram leaves. But the promises of God seem unfulfilled.

Even in Genesis, the gospel of grace in Jesus Christ is being revealed. And like Abram, we are called to Leave all and Follow God where he will lead–to respond by faith to his promises of love and salvation.

Genesis 37 & 39 | Joseph pt.1

The many rises and falls of Joseph, the 11th and favored son of Jacob, is a compelling narrative of broken family systems, personal tragedy and the hopeless circumstances of slavery and prison. But the writer of Genesis records, The LORD was with Joseph. What difference does God’s “With”-ness make? For Joseph, as with for us, […]
