“The Foundations of Our Faith Revealed, Theme by Theme in Genesis — With God, Our Weakness Reveals His Strength”

Hebrews 11 provides our outline today.  I believe with all my soul that these verses and so many more define the content and meaning of Scripture…. And it all begins in Genesis!Adam — His Sin Brings the Plan of Redemption to His Fallen Race (Gen. 3 & Rom. 5)Abel — God Provides a Path to Fellowship with Sinners though a More Excellent Sacrifice (Gen. 3)Noah — He Preaches a Coming Judgment Never Seen Before (Gen. 6-8)Abraham — He Is Called to Walk by Faith Where No One Has Walked Before (Gen. 12-15)Abraham & Sarah — By Faith Their Weaknesses Are Turned to Strength (see Heb. 11 & Rom. 4)Abraham — He Offers up the Son of the Promise Expecting to Receive Him in Resurrection (Gen. 22)Isaac — He Blesses His Son Jacob through Weakness of Body but Strength of Spirit (Gen. 28)====== NEXT TIME ======Jacob — He Makes a Vow to Almighty God, “If God Will Be With Me” (Gen. 28)Jacob — The Lord Changes Jacob’s Name to Israel, A Prince with God (Gen. 32)Jacob — He Blesses the Sons of Joseph, of Him Who Was “Separate from His Brethren” (Gen. 49)Joseph — He Hopes Against Hope for the Blessed Nation by the Visitation of Almighty God (Gen. 50)Israel — He Dies with the Hope of a Future Resurrection in the Land of Promise (Gen. 50)Joseph — He Reaffirms Israel’s National Heritage In His Final Words of Testimony (Gen. 50)
