Genesis 9:24-29

Knowing what we want and pursuing our goals is not a bad thing, provided we walk in the light of God’s Word. While some people take steps in the right direction and become achievers, there are others who start out trying to make a statement and end up becoming a full stop. Gratifying our carnal inclinations brings us into conflict with our spirits. The choices we make lead to death or to life.

In this five day plan, we walk through Genesis 6 to 11 and watch the world unravel because of human sin, yet also see God’s surprising mercy at every turn. From the flood and God’s covenant with Noah to the rebellion at Babel, these chapters show a God who judges evil but refuses to abandon his creation. If you want greater clarity as you read Scripture, this plan will help you understand how these stories prepare us for Jesus, the one who carries our judgment and gathers the nations by his grace.

How has God shown his love, or his power? The Jesus Bible showcases the ways in which God communicated with us, his creations, through Jesus Christ in both the Old and New Testaments. This 7-day reading plan illuminates the characteristics of God to help deepen your understanding and awe of his gifts. 

No one wants to talk about failure, but we all miss the mark from time to time. Even our biblical heroes did things they shouldn’t have done. But when we mess up or our circumstances seem dire, God steps in to make things right. That’s the beauty of an unfailing God, one who is with us every step of the way.
