The Turning Point
Mark Howard
The call of Abraham is one of the major turning points of human history: in a world cursed because of sin, God promises blessing for the nations. The man he chooses also reveals another turning point we all face: will we go the way of Babel or the way of Abraham?
A World Divided
Mark Howard
We live in a divided world – globally, nationally and even in our own communities and families. Genesis 10-11 present us with a very realistic picture of this and also explains why we just can’t get along.
Faithful in Waiting
Derek Coyle
Waiting is never easy. It can easily lead to discouragement and feelings of despair. As Christians, we are waiting for the Day of the Lord. 2 Peter 3:1-13 encourages us with the truth that Christ’s return is coming, while also calling us to wait with faithful obedience.
A Brave New World
Mark Howard
Even after the Flood, the human heart remains corrupt. What is to keep it all happening over again? And is there any hope that things will ever get better? Genesis 8:20-9:29 show that our only hope now and for eternity is the grace of God.
A Whole New World
Mark Howard
Patience is a virtue… Good things come to those who wait… We all know this, but waiting isn’t easy! However, it is an essential aspect of life following Jesus (1 Thes 1:10, Heb 9:28). In Genesis 8, God helps us to wait eagerly and patiently for the glorious future He has promised.
The End of the World As We Know It
Mark Howard
The book of Genesis lays out some basic, foundational elements of the Christian worldview. So far, God has taught us where we come from (Gen 1), why the world is a mess (Gen 2-3), where we can find hope (Gen 4-5) and where history is headed (Gen 6:1-8). What does the story of Noah teach […]
A Terminal Condition
Mark Howard
Desperate times call for desperate measures, but how desperate is the situation facing the world today? In Genesis 6 we discover that full and final judgment is the only answer. But what does that mean for us? Is there any hope?
Discerning Grace
Derek Coyle
Many of the errors we encounter on the day to day basis are inconsequential – a spelling mistake here, a slight miscalculation there. When it comes to Christian truth, 2 Peter 2 warns us that error is much more serious. Peter also encourages us that God’s truth will ultimately triumph.
The Way Forward
Mark Howard
The world of the Bible can sometimes seem foreign to us, especially when we encounter a genealogy like the one in Genesis 5. But, as we look more closely, we find that the world of Genesis 5 is actually very similar to our own. They were confronted with the same blessings, challenges and choice we […]
