Sermons on Genesis (Page 3)
The First Revival
Genesis 4:26 This morning we study the first example of a revival in Scripture, at the time of the birth of Enosh. People began to call on the name of the Lord with renewed earnestness.
The Beginning of Christ’s Mediation
Genesis 3 We examine the first example of redemption in Scripture by studying the account of the Fall. We see that this period is the farthest from Christ’s incarnation and the darkest time for the church.
The Blessings of a Guilty Conscience
Genesis 42:18-38 Like a temperature gauge in a car, God has given us consciences so that we may know when we are doing wrong and also be assured when we are doing right. We look at the account of Joseph’s brothers and how they are confronted in their own consciences with
The Fall
Genesis 3 Continuing our series in the Shorter Catechism, we come to the doctrine of the Fall. We review the circumstances that led to Adam’s sin, including the creation of the angels and their part in these events. We see how it was that the Devil came into the Ga
The Covenant of Works
Genesis 2:15-17 We look at the two forms of covenant; one made between equal parties (parity) and one made between a superior and an inferior (Suzerainty). The latter is always the type found between God and man and the Ten Commandments show us an example of this Suzerai
Man – The Image of God
Genesis 1:26-28 Continuing in our series in the Shorter Catechism, we come to the statement that man is made in the image of God. To understand what this means, we trace the fourfold condition of man: before the fall; after the fall but unregenerate; after the fall and r
God’s Mighty Work of Creation
Genesis 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.’ This is a stunning statement that speaks volumes concerning God’s sovereign will to reveal His glory in creation. In this sermon we consider three things: * What is the creation? * How were all t
Jacob and Joseph Die in Faith
Genesis 49:28 – 50:26 We conclude our series in the book of Genesis by seeing Jacob and Joseph dying old and full of years – a mark of God’s blessing. Both demonstrated by their final remarks that they were looking forward to the fulfillment of God’s promises, and the writer t
Jacob’s Blessings to His Sons
Genesis 49 Shortly before his death, Jacob calls his sons around him and blesses them. We see that for many, the consequences of their sin materially affected the blessings they received. We also trace the material blessings as they are given to Joseph, whilst the p
Joseph’s Double Portion
Genesis 48 Joseph brings his sons to receive the blessing from Jacob before he dies. Again in this account, we see in Joseph pictures of the person and work of Christ and we are comforted to think that God’s promises secured for us in Him are as sure as those in wh
The Lord Preserves Jacob in Egypt
Genesis 45:16 – 47:31 Jacob is persuaded that Joseph is still alive and he journeys to Egypt to be reunited with his son. Despite his move to Egypt, his heart remains in the land of promise. Again from this wonderful account, we see Christ and His worked pictured and we draw
Reconciliation Accomplished
Genesis 44-45:15 Joseph’s plans to test his brothers and their attitude to Benjamin come to fruition. In this moving account, we see that the brothers had indeed repented of their sin in dealing with Joseph. We see Judah make good on his vow to be surety for Benjamin and
