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…
Noah’s Ark
Gen 7:1-8:22 God saw that the world had grown corrupt and violent, yet one man, Noah, stood out as righteous. God called him to build an enormous ark and to gather animals — seven pairs of every clean kind and two of the unclean — to preserve life through the coming judgment. While Noah built the ark over many years, people around him laughed and dismissed his warnings. Even as the massive structure neared completion and the animals began to…
Grace and Judgment in the Days of Noah
Genesis 6:1-22 This chapter is examined in connection with Matthew 24, where Jesus compares the end times to the “days of Noah.” The message highlights that although present-day evil is serious, it does not yet equal the corruption of Noah’s era. Humanity then had become so depraved that “every intent of the thoughts of the heart was only evil continually,” provoking divine sorrow and judgment. Genesis 6:1–2 introduces the “sons of God” and “daughters of men.” Three main interpretations are…
Murder
Genesis 4-5 After leaving Eden, Adam and Eve have two sons: Cain, a farmer, and Abel, a shepherd. Both bring offerings to God—Cain from his crops, Abel from the firstborn of his flock. God accepts Abel’s offering but not Cain’s, though the text does not explain why. Cain becomes angry and jealous, ignoring God’s warning that sin is “crouching at the door.” In his jealousy, Cain kills Abel, committing the first murder. When God questions Cain, he denies responsibility, replying,…
The Fall
Genesis 3 We begin with Adam and Eve living in the Garden of Eden with only one command: not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The serpent tempts Eve, questioning God’s word and suggesting God is withholding something good. Eve adds to the command by saying they must not even touch the tree, then sees the fruit as good, eats it, and gives it to Adam, who also eats. Their eyes are opened, and…
The Creation of Adam
Genesis chapter 2 describes the creation of man, the Garden of Eden, and God’s direct involvement in life. God prepares the earth with water, forms man from dust, and breathes His spirit into him. He plants Eden with trees that are beautiful and good for food, including the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, establishing human freedom and choice. Adam tends the garden and names the animals, exercising creativity in partnership with God, but…
