The presence of God changes how a believer lives, but when idols creep up into our lives, we don’t experience the full presence of God. Israel had an idolatry problem, and it cost them the presence of God moving forward with them to the promised land. Like Israel, we need to locate the idols in our lives, cast them aside, and focus solely on Christ. He is what makes us distinct, and through His power, we can find the strength to endure and enjoy his rest.

This exposition of Genesis 49:1-28 will explore the riches of God's promises regarding the future of Israel and the rest of the world.

This week we will take a deep dive study into the topic of the relationship of Israel with the Church.

In this exposition we will consider the meaning and the significance of the "Abrahamic Covenant" of Genesis 15:7-21, and see how God gives assurance to his people through his covenants.

Returning again to our exposition of the book of Genesis, we will focus in on the substance of the promises God makes to Abram in Genesis 12:1-3 and consider what those promises teach us today.
