Sodom & Gommorah
Gen 18/19 Abraham receives three visitors and shows lavish hospitality. One announces that Sarah will bear a son within a year. Sarah, aware that childbirth is biologically impossible for her, laughs inwardly and then denies it when confronted. The moment underscores divine omniscience and introduces the central question: whether anything is beyond divine power. As the visitors proceed toward Sodom, Abraham learns that the city faces judgment because of extreme injustice and pervasive harm. He intercedes, arguing that justice should…
Christmas 2025
The Christmas narrative presents the birth of Jesus as the fulfillment of multiple ancient messianic prophecies that occurred beyond human planning or manipulation. Long before Jesus could act or choose, events surrounding His birth aligned with promises recorded centuries earlier, pointing to Him as the long-awaited Messiah who would reconcile God and humanity. A young virgin in Nazareth unexpectedly conceives by divine action, fulfilling the prophecy that a virgin would bear a child called “God with us.” Her fiancé, a…
The Enduring Covenant
Genesis 17:1-27 The passage reflects on Genesis 17 as a pivotal reaffirmation of God’s covenant with Abraham after decades of waiting. Twenty-four years after the original call and thirteen years after Ishmael’s birth, God renews His promise in a way that removes all doubt that its fulfillment will be a divine act. By revealing Himself as El Shaddai, God Almighty, He emphasizes His power to accomplish what is humanly impossible, especially the birth of a son to an elderly, barren…
The God who Sees Me
A long-standing promise of descendants remains unfulfilled, and the strain leads to a plan born from impatience: Sarai urges Abram to conceive a child through Hagar. What begins as an attempt to solve a problem quickly produces tension. Hagar’s pregnancy alters the household dynamic, creating resentment and blame. Responsibility is avoided, harsh treatment follows, and Hagar flees into the desert. There, in her vulnerability, she is met unexpectedly by the divine messenger, who calls her by name, asks her to…
Abrahamic Covenant
Genesis 15: 1-21(Apologies – there was a problem with the sound. The transcription is below) Tonight, we are in Genesis chapter 15. During these studies in the book of Genesis, we are learning about the origin or the beginning of all things created. Like the origin of the universe, man, marriage, sin and the origin of redemption. When man fell, God immediately went to work, initiating his plan to create a pathway of redemption to mankind. God gave a promised…
Melchizedek
Gen 14:1-24 A conflict rises across the region as a dominant eastern ruler forces surrounding kingdoms into years of tribute. When several finally rebel, a coalition of four kings marches west, crushing smaller communities along the way before confronting five rebellious kings near the Salt Sea. The rebels are defeated; their cities are plundered, and captives are taken—including Lot, now living in Sodom. News of the capture reaches Abram, who gathers a small force of trained men and pursues the…
Abram & Lot
Gen 13:1-18 After leaving Egypt—where deception led to danger, rebuke, and expulsion—Abram returns to the earlier place of worship between Bethel and Ai, seeking restored fellowship with God. Both he and Lot have acquired substantial wealth, and the land cannot sustain their combined herds, especially in the lingering aftermath of famine. Conflict grows between their herdsmen, prompting Abram to pursue peace by proposing a voluntary separation. Confident in God’s promise, he allows Lot to choose first. Lot selects the well-watered…
Faith, Failure, and the Call of Abram
Gen 12:1-20 Genesis 12 marks a turning point in the biblical story, shifting from the great events of early humanity to the life of Abraham, whose faith shapes the future of Israel and beyond. God calls Abram to leave his homeland and family for an unknown land, promising to make him a great nation, bless him, and make his name renowned. This covenant extends blessing to all nations through him. Abram obeys, departing with his wife Sarai and nephew Lot,…
Tower Of Babel
Gen 10:1-11:32 After the flood, humanity began to repopulate through Noah’s sons-Shem, Ham, and Japheth-whose descendants became the nations of the world. From Ham’s line came Nimrod, remembered as a powerful ruler who founded Babylon and Nineveh, establishing the first organized kingdoms in defiance of divine purpose. His ambition set the stage for humanity’s collective rebellion in Babel, where people, united by a single language, determined to build a city and tower that would reach the heavens and secure their…
Aftter the Flood
Genesis 9:1-29 After the flood, God renews His covenant with humanity through Noah, restoring order and purpose to creation. Humanity is commanded to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, echoing the original mandate given to Adam. Yet, the relationship between humans and animals changes—fear replaces harmony, and for the first time, meat is permitted for food, though the sanctity of blood must be respected as a symbol of life. Blood becomes central throughout Scripture, representing atonement, covenant, cleansing, and…
