Genesis 12-27: And God Said to Abraham

Genesis is the foundational book for the entire biblical canon. In Genesis we find the themes of creation, relationship, covenant, hope, and redemption that will come to characterize God's grand story throughout the rest of the Bible, all the way to Revelation. Grab a Bible and a pen and explore what our response should be to these family- and relationship-centered stories. Journey through seven weeks of study that will cover both well-known and lesser-known narratives, including God's call of Abraham, Abraham and Lot, God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael, God's test of Abraham, Isaac and Abimelek, and Jacob and Esau. A faithful reading of God's Word leads to a faithful response from God's people. The Shaped by Scripture series teaches a simple, engaging method of studying the Bible that will lead to honest interpretation and a changed relationship with God.
