Between Genesis 16 and Genesis 17 , thirteen years have passed. Abram was 86 years old when last we read about him; today as we read about Abram, he’s 99 years old.

Building a People of God with Unusual Characters Well, last week you heard me begin the story of Jacob’s 11th son, Joseph. As I said, Joseph’s story takes most of the last 12 chapters of Genesis—about 1/4 of the book. And we find out how God takes this first son of Jacob and his beloved Rachel, who is…
