Genesis 11 – The Tower of Babel As humans we are so quick to try and do everything ourselves. No matter how big or how small, we must complete the task independently – we pride ourselves on being able to say, look what I did. Sometimes this is a conscious decision of pride but oftenContinue reading “A Lesson in Human Calling”

How places got their names.
Genesis Chapter 10 – Geneologies part 2 If you’re anything like me, you may have wondered how places got their names. Here in Australia, the names are generally, pretty self-explanatory; you’ve got Boundary Road, Sandy Creek, Brisbane River, Sunshine Coast etc. That is, the name generally describes the place or the person living there. ItContinue reading “How places got their names.”
The tale of three brothers…
Today we’re back to Genesis 9. Genesis Chapter 9 is an interesting chapter because it covers the beautiful and striking symmetry to the first chapters of Genesis, full of blessing and instruction. Yet, it the last third of the chapter, after everything God has done, we see human nature at its worst starting to comeContinue reading “The tale of three brothers…”
Eight Musings on Chapter 8
Eight musings, lessons and encouragement from Genesis chapter 8. 1) God remembered Noah. It’s such a simple sentence with a whole lot of meaning. That fact that God remembered Noah despite everything that was happening, shows God truely cares about each individual and that we never need fear He might forget about us. 2) ItContinue reading “Eight Musings on Chapter 8”
A long time…
A musing on Gen 7 & 8, comparing his stay on the ark to our COVID-19 lockdown. I never realised how long Noah spent in the ark with his family and the animals. I always knew it was 40 days and 40 nights, which doesn’t sound so bad. (Until you’re stuck in lockdown for thatContinue reading “A long time…”
Only One
A musing on how far God will go for one person from Gen 6. It is amazing how far God is willing to go for the sake of protecting one righteous person! Even though we from later in the Bible, “all have sinned…”, God was willing to God to extraordinary lengths to save Noah becauseContinue reading “Only One”
Genealogy Musings
A few thoughts on Genesis Chapter 5 1) Adam returned to God and lived out the rest of his days for God offering sacrifices. There are two reasons from this chapter I think this is true: 1) how could Cain and Able know to offer sacrifices if they did not have an example? Someone hadContinue reading “Genealogy Musings”
Gen 4 – The Heart Matters
Genesis 4:1-16 ~ My musings on the story of Cain and Able. It is so easy to go through the motions when it comes to life and God. How easy and how often do we do things out of obligation and spite? We pretend everything is good on the surface, but inside we are aContinue reading “Gen 4 – The Heart Matters”
Gen 3 – Part 2
The beginning of the redemption story ♡ Thankfully the story didn’t end with our sin! If it did, God might as well wiped out the whole earth and all of humanity right then and there! We had lost our open fellowship with God and had earned death by our disobedience. But, instead of them destitute,Continue reading “Gen 3 – Part 2”
Genesis 3: Part 1 – The Fall
Chapter 3: The part of the story where we show how foolish and fallible we are and God shows just how full of love, mercy and compassion He is and that He always has a plan. I’ve always hated this chapter, its the one I always try to avoid and skirt around. I’d rather notContinue reading “Genesis 3: Part 1 – The Fall”
