This story in God's word does much to tie together what God was up to in the days right after the flood til the birth of Isaac. So, when did Noah and his sons pass off the scene anyway?

It's been said that we are products of our environment. Some kids grow up with well connected parents and have great advantage in society. Others not so much. But whether we grew up with a mom and a dad, or single parent, or even as an orphan, our homelife has made a huge impact on how we live our lives today. The same is true with Esau and Jacob. Though raised in the same home, these twin boys could not be any more different. Come with the Grace United Crew as we talk about how Esau and Jacob grew up, painting the dark backdrop to highlight the faithfulness of God in fulfilling his promises.

What breaks your heart? Or perhaps, how many times, and how many people have broken your heart?

What is the greatest gift God has given? As the old saying goes, "When in doubt say Jesus!" Of course, Jesus is the greatest gift God has given sinners. Many of us know that Jesus is the greatest gift because he died to purchase salvation for us. How can this be? Jesus was born as a human. But the Messiah was called "Mighty God, Everlasting Father." How can God die? And how can a human pay an infinite debt all sinners owe a perfect, eternal God--a God whom we all have offended. Come with the Grace United crew as we take a profound look at Immanuel as deity.

What did God want humanity to do? Represent him well in every corner of the planet. God said, "Go!" and the people said "No!" They stayed together and built a tower that reached to heaven. We know this as the Tower of Babel. God, as the hero of this story, puts his grace, love and mercy on display. Great is his faithfulness to do what he promised! He said he would send the redeemer, and introduced the one through whom he would keep that promise. His name? Abram. Join the Grace United crew as we hear again, for the first time, the story of the Tower of Babel, and all the begats of Genesis 10 and 11.

Sacred space. This is how the Lord sees HIS land. We would call that land Israel. The Lord of heaven and earth tasked His people, Israel, to cleanse this land, taking it by force from a wicked people. As Christians, the Lord considers his church to be sacred space as well. The Lord Jesus commanded his people to be his witnesses in all the world. What is the greatest witness his people can give to the world? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover anew and afresh of the extent of God's blessings, both to Israel in ancient days and to his people in our day.
