Discussion Questions:Chapter 16 is a low point in the life of Abram and Sarai. Where do we see the grace of God in the midst of such broken relationships?Chapter 17 introduces the sign of circumcision in to the covenant between God and His people. Looking at Deuteronomy 10:15-16 and Romans 2:28-29, to what is circumcision meant to point towards?In chapter 18 we see Abraham have spent a lot of time meeting with God in various settings. First over a meal at Abraham's tent and then next on a hill top over looking Sodom and Gomorrah. How do you see the character of God in each scene contrasted with the character of Abraham and Sarai?What similarities do you see between the story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the story of Noah and the Flood?How do we see God's grace in the midst of His judgement in chapter 19?Chapter 19 does not end in a hopeful way. How does this passage warn us against the corrupting influence of sin? What might have been a more Godly approach to their seemingly hopeless situation? How might we do something similar by trying to solve or fix our unwanted life circumstances ourselves?

Discussion Questions: How do we see God's mission to the world made explicit in His words to Abram in 12:1-3? How might this passage impact your reading of the rest of the Bible? Based on what you've read so far in Genesis, how might you describe what it means to be blessed by God? How do you see echoes of the Genesis 3 in the incident with Abram, Sarai and Pharaoh in Genesis 12:10-20?In chapter 13 we see Lot and Abram separate. In chapter 14 we see the consequences of their decisions. What wisdom do these chapters offer us for how we make decisions in our lives and how we determine what is good and what is bad? Read Hebrews 7. How does this passage in the New Testament shed light on the scene with Melchizedek in our passage in Genesis? How do we see belief mingled with doubt in Abram's relationship with God in Genesis 12-15? Now look at Hebrews 11:8-16. How might we reconcile Genesis' unflattering portrayal with Hebrews spotless description of Abraham's faith? Looking at the covenant God makes with Abram in chapter 15, how did Abram participate? How did God participate? How does Jeremiah 34:18-20 help us understand what agreement God is making with this family?

Discussion Questions: Why does the Bible include so many genealogies? What is the point? What should we be taking away from them? Nimrod was an influencer. He influenced multiple major cultural hubs in the ancient world. What can we learn from his brief description in Scripture? How might the lesson we learn from him impact the way we are Christians today try and be culture makers? Why was the tower of Babel a bad idea?

Discussion Questions: The story of Noah and the flood are familiar stories to many. What details or aspects of the story stood out to you in your reading and study? Anything that you hadn't noticed before? Sin has full taken hold of the hearts of humanity at this point in the story. How does Noah seem to escape the corruption that everyone else seems to have fallen into? Why might God look with favour upon him? Where do we see the mercy of God in these chapters? Where do we see the justice of God in these chapters? How do these two pillars of God's character always go together? How might God's covenant with Noah give us hope about planet Earth today and the future? How do these chapters equip us for life in a broken world? How do they push us towards hope in a God who is both just and merciful?

Discussion Questions: What questions do these two chapters raise in your mind that the text doesn't seem to answer? Why do you think the text is quiet on these issues?

How do we see the same tactic used by Satan in the garden take shape in our lives today? How might we be tempted to see God's boundaries as not good for us? What seems to be the reason that God looks with favor at Abel's offering but not Cain's? How might Psalm 51:16-17 help illuminate this issue? Sin seems to take a hold and quickly spiral out of control in chapter 4. How do we see God's good design being ignored in the decedents of Adam and Eve? How do these chapters convict your heart of sin and how do they point you to a God who longs to forgive that sin?

Why is it good that we have two perspectives of creation in chapter 1 and 2? In Genesis 2:18 God says that it is not good that man is alone.

Week 4 of our Bible study podcast discussion. Join Ponch and Claire as they unpack 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18.Discussion Questions:What stood out to you? Any thoughts or questions you have about the passage?In this last section of the letter, Paul uses some strong language by “commanding” them to behave in a certain way. Why do you think he is using such strong language?What is distinctive about the idleness that is being warned against in this passage? What does it include and what does it exclude?Paul asks this church to set a boundary on people who are not working so they will feel “ashamed.” Does this make you uncomfortable? Why or why not?In verse 12, the language ‘earn their own living’ could also be translated as ‘eat their own bread.’ How might we square this with Acts 2:42-47 where we see the early church sharing all they have with each other?How do our churches practice this principle well? What are ways we get it wrong?How do we see Christ putting this principle into practice?In what ways have your head (knowledge), heart (loves) or hands (actions) been impacted by the study of this book?
