Episodes
The Judgment and Mercy of God (Part 1 of 2)
1/16/2026
Here we see the ugliness of sin unveiled, the judgment of God revealed, and his mercy poured out. We see judgment on Sodom and mercy and salvation in the rescue of Lot and his undeserving family. Tragically, salvation from Sodom does not purge sin from the heart, as the sin of Lot’s family so vividly illustrates.

The Friend of the Righteous (Part 2 of 2)
1/15/2026
Divine messengers come to Abram’s home to bring the good news of the blessing of a child to come. But the same messengers who visit Abram with news of divine favour have as their next destination the sinful city of Sodom, where judgment will fall. It is a powerful reminder that the Lord who blesses is also the Lord who judges. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1516/29?v=20251111

The Sign of the Covenant (Part 2 of 2)
1/13/2026
Despite the failure and sin of Abram in the previous chapter, the Lord reaffirms his commitment to give him a land and a people—and he seals that covenantal commitment with the sign of circumcision. He makes it clear to us that his grace and forbearance do not remove the requirement of obedience, but actually reinforce it.

The Cost of Self-Reliance (Part 2 of 2)
1/9/2026
Abram and Sarai knew the promise of God, but grew impatient with God’s timeline, not seeing how the promise could be fulfilled. They took matters into their own hands to further God’s agenda—and the results were disastrous. In this messy incident, we see the cost of sinful self-reliance and the abundant grace of God.

The Lord Our Shield and Reward (Part 2 of 2)
1/7/2026
When Abram could not see the way forward for the fulfilment of the plans and purposes of God, the Lord reaffirmed the covenant and taught Abraham that he—the Lord—was his shield of protection and the substance and source of his reward. The promise-making and promise-keeping God is faithful and all-sufficient for his people. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1516/29?v=20251111

Battle and Blessing (Part 2 of 2)
1/5/2026
The covenant blessing of God does not spare God’s people the experience of battling enemy forces, but it does guarantee their ultimate victory. Added to this, in a remarkable event (the encounter with Melchizedek) God adds renewed blessing, while pointing forward to the One who will fulfil the covenant promises in a day to come.

The Open Hand of Faith (Part 2 of 2)
1/1/2026
As Abraham begins to enter into the blessings of God in terms of land and goods and people, we see a godly spirit of generosity come through (and perhaps we see the start of a contrast with Lot). The blessing of God is meant to make his people a blessing to others. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1516/29?v=20251111

Blessed to Be a Blessing (Part 2 of 2)
12/30/2025
Here is the foundational promise of God, fulfilled in Jesus and the gospel. It all comes from God and his initiative. Abraham is the recipient, as we are recipients in Christ. This blessing is meant to go to the world—and so our missionary mandate is found here. The folly of Abraham here reminds us that the blessing rests on grace and not merit.

King
12/26/2025
The child of the manger has come to rule. To reckon with the message of Christmas, we must learn not only to trust in the Saviour who came, but to bow before the King who will one day return. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1516/29?v=20251111

Emmanuel (Part 2 of 2)
12/25/2025
Sin has separated us from the God who made us. Rather than living in friendship with him, we are excluded from the blessings of his presence. But Jesus came to us as Emmanuel—God with us—that we might know God through faith in him, and so live with him forever.
