Genesis Week 9 - Called

The first 11 chapters of Genesis cover thousands of years and the whole earth while the rest of Genesis will cover few hundred years and zero in on one individual and his descendants. What is the author implying about the significance of this particular family? Matthew chapter 1 gives us a clue - revealing to us a plan that went way beyond Abraham and his children. Eve’s promised seed who would crush the head of the serpent is the significance - and we know this is Jesus. But Adam, Eve, Abram & Sarai didn’t know this. As our study takes us through the details and descriptions of their interactions let us not forget the big picture of what everything is pointing to - Father, Son, and Spirit working together to rescue the human race from the curse of sin. It all begins with a man who is called to leave his home and go to a place unknown, taking one step at a time with the God who called him.
