Genesis 17 - I will bless her

Show Notes

We revisit Sarah to ponder the paucity of particularity in God's plan.

This episode is a step back into the story of Abraham in response to a bit of a theme that seems to be emerging in Genesis. God clearly has a plan, but often it seems rather opaque. Abraham and Sarah take a long time to grasp what God has in mind, but when we dig a bit more at the story it seems that God didn't go out of his way to make the particulars all that clear from the start. Fascinatingly, it seems the morality of an action doesn't seem to have much bearing on how much God can use it for his plan.

What is Sabbath School From Home?

Sabbath School is perhaps the most communal and participatory element of a regular Seventh-day Adventist church event (after foot-washing), but social distancing has us all isolated at home. This is a weekly Sabbath School styled conversation on Biblical themes and passages. Join in the conversation by writing comments/questions to [e-mail] .
