Genesis 15
Because we live in a “contract world,” we often treat God like a “contract God.” We feel that if we have a bad week or a season of doubt, the deal is off. We live in fear that we’ve broken the contract and God is going to “evict” us from His grace. We default to “earning” rather than “receiving.” So we wonder, “Am I really right with God?” “Can I truly trust in His saving promises?” “What if I fail or doubt or wander astray?” We need assurances. Genesis 15 gives us assurance. It shows us that God Himself secures His saving promises.
In Genesis 15, Moses recorded how the LORD reassured Abram by declaring him righteous through faith and by unilaterally making a covenant in blood, guaranteeing the future fulfillment of His redemptive promises.

Genesis 6-9
Have you ever looked at the world and wondered, “How bad does it have to get before God does something?” Violence, corruption, moral confusion… it can feel like evil is winning and God is silent. Genesis 6–9 shows us that God is never indifferent to sin, but He is also never absent in mercy.
Moses recorded how God judged the sin and rebellion of humanity by sending a worldwide flood to destroy all the living, yet preserved a remnant by providing an ark of salvation for Noah and his family. We can see how God reveals both His justice and His mercy in the account of the Flood.

Genesis 1-3

bible, story
If we don’t understand the beginning of the story, we will misunderstand everything that comes after it. We won’t understand: who we really are, why the world is so broken, or why Jesus had to come.
Genesis 1–3 is not just the start of the Bible, it’s the foundation of reality. If we get the beginning wrong, the rest of the story won’t make sense. But if we get this right, suddenly the beauty we long for and the brokenness we live with both have an explanation. And so does our hope.
From creation to consummation, the Bible tells one great story of a good and holy God rescuing His broken world through Jesus. THE STORY begins…
In the book of Genesis, Moses recorded the story of how God created the heavens and the earth, creating humanity in His own image and calling it very good, yet after humanity’s rebellion, He promised a coming offspring who would defeat the serpent who tempted them to fall.
