Have you ever wondered why Noah was spared from the flood? Or pondered why God made a promise to Abraham that a great nation would be created through him? If we are to understand what the Bible says, we must first understand the importance of God’s grace. Listen as Alistair points to the covenant made to both Noah and Abraham assuring us that if we are in Christ, then we are heirs of God’s promise and children of His kingdom.

In grief we may cry out, “God, I don’t understand what you’re doing!” Abraham may have felt this way when his wife Sarah could not conceive. How could a nation be born through him when his wife appeared barren? Yet, in his old age, Sarah gave birth to Isaac. So why does God immediately tell Abraham to offer him as a sacrifice? In this study we can learn from Abraham what it means to have unwavering faith.

Adam and Eve sinned in the garden and God’s perfect creation was changed – Cain killed Abel and all men developed wicked hearts. If God knew the fall of man would happen, then why did He allow it? Alistair teaches us that God was not caught off guard when sin entered the world and that before time began, God had planned for man’s rescue. Nonetheless, sin must face accountability. Learn how, even in judgment, through grace God reaches out to redeem His people for His glory.

God is the author and king of creation. In Genesis, God declared that what He made was good. When Satan deceived Adam and Eve, God’s perfect kingdom was immediately spoiled by sin and rebellion. This act of disobedience led to struggle in the world and the need for all men and women to be transformed by Christ before entering the kingdom of God.

In today’s culture, many pastors are tempted to ask of their congregations, “Where am I in the narrative?” rather than asking, “Who and where is the person and work of Jesus Christ in this narrative?”. It is infinitely easier to speak of man and his felt needs rather than on Jesus Christ, and yet Paul says that he resolves to know nothing except Christ and Him crucified. With clarity and precision, Dr. Sinclair Ferguson shares seven principles from Genesis 3:15 to aid the pastor as he preaches Christ from the Old Testament.

Abraham’s journey of faith could be described as a series of new beginnings. As we follow his path we watch as he learned to trust God no matter what. Here we discover faith expressed in the changes and challenges of life and we learn that with God failure is never final.
