In our study, we’ve now reached the beginning of the story of Abraham. He is one of the great patriarchs of the Christian faith. We’ll spend the next several weeks discussing his life, which includes plenty of mountaintop and valley experiences.
BSF 2012-2013: Genesis 10-11:1-9
Genesis chapters 10 and 11 are a turning point in the story of humanity. Chapters 1 to 11 are the wide-angle view of the beginning of the world. Chapters 12 to 50 move the focus to one family chosen by God
BSF 2012-2013: Genesis 8:20-9:29
Noah and his family spent more than a year in the ark. When they left the ark, they saw a world that had changed dramatically. After experiencing a year full of God’s grace and mercy, a humble Noah built an
BSF 2012-2013: Genesis 6-8

BSF 2012-2013: Genesis 1:26-2:25

BSF 2012-2013: Genesis 1:1-2:1
This week’s lesson was all about God’s perfect preparation for the arrival of man. This reminded me (and my teaching leader!) about all of the work we go through to prepare for the arrival of a new baby. God created
Luke 11:28
