The Christian life is built on God's grace, and so it stands to reason that God's church needs to be built on God's grace too. Today, as we turn to 1st Timothy 1, we'll see Paul begin to teach Timothy about the priority of good doctrine, specifically built on grace and how that leads to a deeper love for the Lord and one another.

info_outlineGenesis 15 contains some of the most important promises in the entire Bible. These are God's promises to Abraham (and ultimately to us) about the establishment of a nation of descendants who would follow God and walk with Him. And while these are promises to Abraham, we see that these are promises to anyone who will call upon God in faith. Join us for the study in Genesis 15!
DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:
1. According to the study, how many years have passed since the Lord first met with Abram back in Genesis 12? How would that delay have impacted your faith in God’s promises? How did it impact Abram?
2. When God reiterated His promises to Abram, what practical problem did Abram point to in verses 2 and 3? Why would this have seemed to be a problem to Abram? Why is this not a problem to God? Are there any principles we can glean from this regarding the problems we face in our lives?
3. What was the Lord’s response to Abram’s concerns in verses 3 and 4? In what ways would God’s solution only come about by means of a miracle?
4. Verse 6 says Abram believed the Lord and the Lord reckoned it to Abram as righteousness. When God “reckons” a person to be righteous, what does that mean for them? Why is this reckoning by God necessary to inherit these promises and be a citizen of His kingdom?
5. When verse 6 says Abram “believed God,” how is this different than having a “faith” that is just a wispy hope? How was true faith reflected in Abram’s life? Why did God declare Abraham to be righteous based on his faith and not his works?
6. The later part of Genesis 15 records the covenant God made with Abram. What was Abram’s role in this covenant? What was God’s role? What is the significance of these two roles? Similarly, in our covenant with God that we have made through Christ, what is God’s role, and what is ours?
7. Genesis 15 speaks to the nation God would establish through Abram. While most modern believers in Christ are not related to Abram by blood, they are related to him by faith. Are you part of this kingdom? How does your life reflect these truths?
