This is a tale of two believers in God who have two very different outcomes in life. Abram who becomes the friend of God and Lot who is, as Peter tells us, a righteous man, make two different choices. What sets these men apart?
Fear of God: Lesson 3
In this lesson, we examine the fear of God’s word followed by ungodly fears.
Say You’re My Sister
The life of a follower of God is not always spent on the mountains of glory sometimes the path leads us into the valley of the shadow of death. This is one of those times that we find here in the life of Abram.
Fear of God: Lesson 2
In this lesson, we examine the idea of the fear of the Lord and the three things that clearly show that God’s presence is frightening to us.
The Call of God
The section we have before us today describes why Abram and his family left Ur and were headed for Canaan. It was the call of God.
Fear of God: Lesson 1
Dan Litwiller introduces the topic of the is Bible study on the fear of God.
The Family of Shem
The tendency is to skip from the story of the tower of Babel to chapter 12 and the call of Abram. Yet, there is some information here that God, through our author Moses, wants us to know.
In verses 10-32 we find two more books in the book of Genesis. We have the book of Shem which is another genealogy and the beginning of the book of Terah.
Confusion
The important events that Moses records for us in Genesis are events that we all live with the ramifications. Obviously, creation but also the fall and the flood are events in history that impact our daily lives. The historical account of the tower of Babel is another one of those events that we still feel the consequences today.
The Sons of Noah
As we turn to Genesis 10 we have what people have called the “Table of Nations.” There are lessons here about God, his plan, and our place in history that we need to know.
Canaan’s Curse
At the end of Genesis chapter nine, we find that though Noah was a man that walked with God he was a man. He was blameless in his generation but not perfect. As JC Ryle said, “The best of men are men at best.”
