In this issue, we want to look at Abraham’s God-given prosperity and how it differs from our last issue where I described Abraham’s manufactured prosperity. This will be a completely different story than the last. Abraham and Lot experience such prosperity that they cannot handle it. They get too big…
You could consider this part one of two. We will see Abraham's manufactured prosperity in Egypt in this issue, and in the next issue, you will see God-given prosperity. In my last issue, I opened up our character study on Abraham by talking about why he is considered the father…

We are continuing to track with Noah’s story, and we have finally reached this section about God’s covenant with Noah. We will be looking at the details of the covenant and looking into covenants and signs. Noah had just taken of the clean animals and built an altar to offer…
