Week of October 25, 2015: God's Covenant with Abraham

Bible Passage: Genesis 12:1­3; 15:1­21; 17:1­9
Main Point: God promised to bless all the world through Abraham.
Unit Key Passage: Romans 4:3
Big Picture Question: What did God promise? God made a covenant to bless His people.

God is a covenant­making God. God's covenants are unconditional, God keeps His promises. When Abram was 75 years old, God spoke to him. God called Abram to leave behind his family and his lands to go to a place God would show him. God made a covenant with Abram, promising to bless all the world through one of his descendants. God told Abraham that He alone would be responsible for holding up the covenant. God promised to bless all the earth through Abraham.

At just the right time, Jesus was born into Abraham’s family. Jesus fulfilled God’s promise to Abraham. Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Through Him, all the nations of the earth are blessed.

Week of October 18, 2015: The Tower of Babel

Bible Passage: Genesis 11:1­9

Main Point: God created people to give glory to Him alone.

Key Passage: 1 Corinthians 8:6

Big Picture Question: Why did God create the world? God created the world and everything in it for His glory.

People chose to give glory to themselves instead of God. They ignored God’s plan, so God confused their language and scattered the people all over the earth. One day, Jesus will gather together all of God’s people—people from every tribe and people who speak all kinds of languages—and they will worship Him.

Week of October 11, 2015: Noah and the Ark

Bible Passage: Genesis 6:5–9:17
Main Point: God is holy, and He punishes sin.
Key Passage: 1 Corinthians 8:6
Big Picture Question: What is sin? Sin is breaking God’s law, and sin separates people from God.

One day God looked at all the people on earth and saw that they were choosing to sin. God wanted people to have a relationship with Him, but the people did not want to know God or obey Him. God had to punish the people for their sin.

Noah was a righteous man; he followed God. God warned Noah that a flood was coming to destroy all the creatures on the earth. He told Noah to make an ark to save himself, his family, and some of the animals. God told Noah exactly how to make the ark.

God promised Noah that He would never completely flood the earth again. God told Noah and his family to spread out over the earth and fill it with people. God placed a rainbow in the sky so that every time Noah and his family saw the rainbow, they would know God remembered the promise He made with all the living creatures on earth.

Main Point: Cain’s sin separated him from God and people.

Unit Key Passage: 1 Corinthians 8:6

Adam and Eve hoped the Savior would be born to them. Every baby was born a sinner. Still, the people hoped. At just the right time, God would send His Son to save sinners. God always keeps His promises.
