The book of Galatians has two basic themes: 1. A defense of Paul’s apostleship; 2. The destruction of false teaching, namely Judaizing doctrine. As always, Paul does a superb job on both points. This book is a blueprint for how to defend yourself so the truth will not be hindered and how to attack false doctrine and false teachers that condemn men’s souls.

Isaac, he was sent away to Haran. The idea was for him to get away from Esau’s wrath and find a suitable wife. When he arrived in Haran he got much more than he bargained for – figuratively and literally.

This section of Genesis serves as a bridge between Abraham and Jacob. Isaac’s life is touched on, but not to any great extent. Moses moves quickly to focus on Jacob and his family, especially his son Joseph. There are numerous lessons to gain from this part of Bible history, including care in selecting a mate, parental involvement in the marriag of a child, and the impact of favoritism in a family.

Paul launches right into the heart of the matter in the opening paragraph of Galatians. He asserts his authority as an apostles of Christ, it is genuine, and briefly hammers home the idea that salvation is through Jesus, not Moses. This lesson covers the first nine verses of chapter one.

The majority of the Bible study focuses on the sacrifice of Isaac in Genesis 22. There are many lessons to learn from this account, including putting our absolute trust in God. He will never fail us.

This lesson wraps up Genesis 19 & the destruction of Sodom. The extent of Sodom’s influence on Lot’s family is highlighted. In Genesis 20-21, we mainly see Abraham’s dealings with Abimelech and the birth of Isaac.

Genesis 18 & 19 look at events dealing with Sodom. Abraham is visited by three angels, told of Isaac’s birth, and the destruction of Sodom. He pleads with God to spare the city; God agrees if there are 10 righteous men in the city. Since there were not, the city is overthrown by God and Lot barely escapes.

In this lesson we look at Genesis 12-14, that begin an earnest look at Abraham’s life. His strengths and weaknesses are revealed, helping us understand that he was like us. This reassures us that we too can be men and women of faith.
