Not So Fast, Idolatry

March 17, 2024 • Dan Challapalli • Genesis 10:1—11:26

As the nations begin to spread out after the Flood, we arrive at a minor hiccup in the story of humanity.

As we conclude the first part of Genesis, we are left with a dire need for covenant — God revealing himself to humans who do not know him.

Too Wonderful?

May 19, 2024 • Scot Pollok • Genesis 18

In this powerful text, Yahweh appears to Abraham to hand deliver yet another promise of a son. Abraham gets to look into God’s eyes, in some wildly mysterious way, and see the commitment and purpose held in His gaze. We also gain wonderful insight into Abraham’s dynamic relationship with God through an awkwardly beautiful give and take.

May 12, 2024 • Dan Challapalli • Genesis 17

Thus far, God has made unconditional promises to Abram through covenant. Now, he invites him and all future offspring to trust in the Lord. Trusting, we will find, may not be as easy as one assumes.

May 5, 2024 • Zach Hendricks • Genesis 16
