    Genesis Part Nine | Bible Study July 15, 2026

    In this Wednesday night Bible study, Pastor Kevin continues the journey through Genesis by revisiting the Tower of Babel and beginning the story of Abraham. He explains how humanity was scattered through the confusion of languages, reminds us that every person ultimately belongs to the same human family, and explores why God called Abraham out of idolatry and into a life of faith. Through Abraham’s successes and failures, we see that God does not call people because they are already perfect—He calls them because He knows what they can become. Pastor Kevin also examines Abraham’s journey into Egypt, the consequences of making decisions from fear instead of faith, and the importance of returning to the place where God last directed us. The study concludes with the mysterious figure of Melchizedek, the king of peace and priest of the Most High God. While Scripture does not clearly reveal his identity, Melchizedek serves as a powerful picture of Jesus Christ, our eternal King and High Priest. Throughout the Old Testament, God uses people, events, and symbols as shadows pointing forward to the greater reality found in Jesus. Abraham was not called because he was already righteous or spiritually mature. He came from a family that worshiped other gods, yet God saw what Abraham could become through faith and obedience. In the same way, God’s calling on our lives is based on His grace and purpose—not our perfection. When famine came, Abraham traveled to Egypt and began making decisions motivated by fear. Those choices created unnecessary trouble and eventually brought him back to Bethel, the place where he had started. God is capable of providing for us, but we must learn to seek His direction rather than allowing fear to determine our next step. Melchizedek, the bronze serpent, Isaac on Mount Moriah, Adam, Joseph, and Jonah all serve as pictures or shadows of something greater. Each story ultimately points toward Jesus—our Savior, eternal High Priest, and King of righteousness and peace. Rather than becoming distracted by unanswered mysteries, our focus should remain on the One those mysteries reveal. Three Main Takeaways 1. God Calls Us for Who We Can Become 2. Move in Faith, Not Fear 3. The Entire Bible Points to Jesus Episode Eight of the Genesis study series is unavailable on the podcast.
