Calling - Genesis 12:

Conflict - Genesis 13-14:

Abram and his nephew Lot part ways due to conflict, leading Abram to a miraculous rescue of Lot and his family. The mysterious figure of Melchizedek, who blesses Abram, foreshadows the priesthood of Jesus, our great high priest who provides us with a permanent blessing and peace with God.

Calling - Genesis 12:

God's redemptive plan shifts focus as he calls Abram to leave his homeland and promises to bless all nations through him. This divine calling is the beginning of the gospel promise, which finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, who brings salvation to all families of the earth.

Confusion - Genesis 10-11:

The story of the Tower of Babel reveals humanity's pride and rebellion in attempting to make a name for themselves, leading to the confusion of languages. This event shows our deep need for a way to be unified and reconciled with God, which is only possible through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Compassion - Genesis 7-9:

We witness God's judgment through the great flood, as well as his compassion in preserving Noah and his family in the ark. This act of salvation points us to Jesus, the ultimate ark of salvation, who offers refuge from God's wrath to all who believe.

Corruption - Genesis 6:

This chapter describes a world so corrupt and full of violence that God grieves over his creation and decides to bring a flood. In the midst of God's righteous judgment, we see his grace in saving Noah, which prefigures the salvation offered to us through Jesus.
