In week two of The Story We're In, we explore God's call of Abraham in Genesis 12 and discover how His plan has always been to bless the world through a people. Tracing the story from humanity's rebellion in Genesis 1–11 to God's covenant promises, we see that God's faithfulness is greater than our failures. we're reminded that Jesus redeems our brokenness and invites us to become a blessing to others.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show
Setbacks don't only happen when you can't see the big picture. Job is a famous example of hardship accompanied by confusion about what God is doing, but we focus a bit on another kind of setback. The stories of Abram and Joseph begin with unusually clear divine promises, and still go sideways for years. God's promises can perhaps be as hard to live with as the setbacks themselves. We explore a third option beyond optimism and pessimism: not expecting good or bracing for bad, but actively creating good — which is what Joseph did, and the same key that unlocks meaning in hard times turns out to unlock it in good times too.
Are You Right with God - Genesis 15:1-6 Pastor Joseph Jo
GOD'S PLAN FOR REDEMPTION IS A PROMISE (v1,5) “I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward … Look toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them. So shall your descendants be.” GOD'S POWER FOR REDEMPTION IS A GIFT OF HIS GRACE (v6) Abram believed in the Lord, and He accounted […]
The Scripture readings are Genesis 15:1-6; 1 John 4:16-21; Luke 16:19-31. After deliverance, new struggles often arrive. Abraham knew this “after” where doubt crept in despite God's promises. Yet, the same God meets you in every “after” as your Shield and great Reward in Christ.

Grace comes through faith. That's the important message we'll hear from Dr. McGee as we make our way through the pages of Genesis and see that even though God confirms His covenant to Abraham, Sarah and Abraham lose faith and choose Hagar to bear a child.

Pastor West's sermon explores Genesis 15, focusing on the Covenant of the Pieces as a foundational moment for faith. He describes how Abram, despite his initial doubts regarding God's promises of descendants and land, participates in an ancient ritual involving slain animals to ratify a divine contract. A central theme is the patience required to wait on God, illustrated by Abram's long day of guarding the carcasses from birds of prey. He highlights that God alone passes through the divided animals, signifying a unilateral and unconditional promise to bear the penalty of death if the covenant is broken. Ultimately, he frames this Old Testament event as a foreshadowing of the Gospel, suggesting that God's commitment to his people culminates in the sacrificial love of the cross.

Many of us have a version of spiritual anxiety we don't talk about. The fear that if we're not doing enough, believing hard enough, or living right enough and God is going to reject us. This week, Josiah goes back to one of the oldest stories in the Bible and finds an answer that most people completely miss."In this message, I borrowed heavily from two messages that have deeply impacted me: the first is from Pastor Tim Keller in his teachings on Genesis 15. The second was from Pastor Dan Gregory in a message he gave at Momentum Youth Conference on John 8. I would HIGHLY recommend you listen to these on your own! I attached them below." - JosiahTim Keller - https://gospelinlife.com/sermon/abraham-and-the-fire/Dan Gregory - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKmVgEdlLcA&t=1961s

When Abraham asked God for assurance, God responded with a covenant that revealed a profound truth: the fulfillment of His promises depends on His character, not our strength. With Pastor Kaleb Allen.
A listener comment pushes the popular claim that Genesis 15 foreshadows Christ's death to its logical conclusion. The result exposes a serious theological problem and highlights the danger of making Scripture say what it never actually says.
After Abram's great victory, in the silence, God meets him with a promise, reminding us that faith has nothing to do with anything we can do on our own but in trusting in who God is. With Kaleb Allen.
Sermon preached by Jonathan Lormier at the Evangelical Christian Church of Dubai on Genesis 15.
Genesis 15 Rev. Dr. Alec Flynt
Pastor West explores the foundational story of Abram in Genesis 15 to distinguish between believing in God's existence and truly trusting His character. He describes a "predictable letdown" that often follows spiritual highs, noting that even great biblical figures experienced vulnerability and despair. By looking to the stars, Abram moved his focus from his own limitations to God's infinite power and sovereignty. This shift illustrates the core theological principle that righteousness is credited through faith rather than earned through human effort or perfect behavior. He concludes that the imputed righteousness of Christ is a gift received by those who believe God's promises despite their circumstances. Through this lens, believers are encouraged to find sufficiency in their relationship with the Creator when all other worldly securities fail.Support the showThanks for listening!

If you think about the question “Is any thing too hard for the Lord?”, our initial response is “of course not!”. That said, it is one thing to believe that God can do all things but another to realize that it can actually happen in your own life as well.If you'd like to view the video that goes with the podcast, click here!
Terryl Givens reflects on Genesis 15 and its profound connection to the everlasting covenant fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Through a striking and singular sacrificial ritual, Abraham witnesses a symbol of divine passage—a pattern later realized when Christ consecrated “a new and living way” through the veil of His own flesh. Givens traces how this imagery helps illuminate the Restoration's temple theology, where disciples move step by step through covenantal life toward adoption, sanctification, and the presence of God. A thoughtful, beautifully drawn meditation that complements your Come, Follow Me study of the Old Testament.
Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are responding to a question about Abraham. When was Abraham born again? Was it in Genesis 15 or some other time? If he “called on the Lord” at an earlier time, was he not saved at that (earlier) point? Please listen today
To make His promise more certain, the LORD identifies Himself to Abram as the One who brought Abram from his homeland to possess the Promised Land. When Abram asks for further confirmation, the LORD tells Abram to sacrifice several animals. The LORD attaches His Word to this sign that Abraham's descendants will serve as slaves in a foreign nation, but the LORD will rescue them and bring them back to the Promised Land. When the LORD passes through the sacrificed animals, He promises that He will keep His Word to Abram and his Offspring. Rev.

After Abram rescues Lot, the LORD reassures Abram with His promise. Yet Abram sees that a household servant is currently his heir, and Abram questions the LORD what He will give since no child has yet been born to him. The LORD doubles down on His promise, telling Abram that a child will be born of his own loins. As a visual sermon, the LORD challenges Abram to count the stars. Such will be the number of Abram's descendants. Abram believes this promise, and the LORD counts that faith as righteousness. Such is the way all Christians are saved: through faith in the promise of God in Jesus. Rev. Jeremy Swem, pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church and School in Grand Rapids, MI, joins host Rev.
