God made Abraham mind-boggling promises. And Abraham believed Him.

In Genesis 12, Abraham was introduced with little fanfare. He was a man from a pagan family and a pagan background. And yet, God was going to make this nobody a series of incredible promises - promises that Abraham believed in, and then acted accordingly.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What were these amazing promises? And how many were there?

B) Who are the true children of Abraham? Are you one of his children?

C) What does it mean to be called a 'friend' of God?

God told the people to go outward. Instead, they went upward.

"Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth" God told the people. But they said no - in their minds, it was safer and smarter to stay in one place. And so, they built a formidable 'tower' in Genesis 11. In today's study we'll read about that tower (and God's response).

Questions That We'll Answer:
A) Why was God angered by the building of this tower?
B) Why did God confuse the language of the builders?
C) What relationship does Genesis 11 have with Acts 2 (Pentecost)?

The wrong question: how did all the animals fit in the ark?

The most crucial question of Genesis 6 is NOT about the animals. Not at all. Rather, it is this: why was an ark needed in the first place? In other words, why was God willing to flood the entire globe, only six chapters after creating it? Seems drastic. So why did God do it, and what does it tell us about the future?

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) In what way did the flood typify the wrath of God being 'poured out?'

B) In what way did the ark typify Jesus Christ? Is Jesus in this text?

C) Why did Christ refer to future days as being 'like the days of Noah?'
