The Fall

Man chooses not to trust God word and falls into sin. God bears the consequences of man’s sin and promises to save us.

OT1 – 13 Jacob Wrestles With God

OT1 – 12 Jacob’s Family

OT1 – 11 Jacob’s Dream

The story of Jacob is the story of a man who does not really listen to God's promises, but thinks that he can get what he wants through cunning and deceit. It will take many years before Jacob learns to trust God's promises, in the meantime his own sin causes lots of problems in his life. Nevertheless God continues to bless Jacob. God's blessings do not come because of our obedience or faith but because of his promises.

God’s grace working through a dysfunctional family

OT1-07 Isaac Is Born

God often gives promises that are hard for us to believe, yet the Lord does what he promises. Sarah laughs in derision at God’s promise but learns to laugh in joy at His fulfillment.

God forges the faith of Abram to make him the father of all who believes. God gives to Abram and his descendants the promise of the Savior. They are it’s keepers but the promise is for the world.
