This week please answer questions 4-9 on pages 125-127. We will be focusing on Genesis 18:16-33.

I have included three resources for this study, the first is on the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, the second is Matthew Henry's commentary and last is a sermon from Scott Lindsey

SODOM AND GOMORRAH

Sodom and Gomorrah are two cities in the Bible associated with evil. They were cities of the plain or valley (Genesis 13:12). There were five cities located in the valley of Siddim (i.e., the Salt Sea). Of these, Sodom is mentioned most frequently in Genesis-thirty-six times in all. Sodom became known in as the supreme example of a wicked city. Its destruction (19:24) was used as a warning of God’s judgment in other biblical writings (Deuteronomy 29:23; Isaiah 1:9-10; Jeremiah 23:14; Jeremiah 49:18; Lamentations 4:6; Amos 4:11; Zephaniah 2:9). The story of Sodom’s destruction found its place also in the New Testament (Matthew 10:15; Luke 10:12; 17:29; Romans 9:29; 2 Peter 2:6; Jude 1:7; Revelation 11:8). Read More...

Here are two Great Resources for this study. The first is a John Piper sermon on Genesis 18:10-15 and the second is Calvin's Commentary on the key verses of Sarah's response: Read More...

Hi Guys,

We are are in the second week of Lesson 10. We will be covering pages 117-119 and questions 7-10. We are going to be covering the conditional covenant with Abram and he is going to get his name changed to Abraham.

Here are some commentary notes from various sources. I hope these are of some value. If you find other information or have a question on this weeks study post it up so we can answer them and share amongst all the MOB groups.

By the way the pic is what Abram's tent would have looked like. Read More...
