The Open Word

The Book of Genesis - Session 20 - The Tower of Babel

We now turn our attention to Genesis 11, in which we find the account of the Tower of Babel. This occurred about four generations from Noah, when humanity most likely numbered between one and two thousand people. Instead of spreading out over the earth, humanity decided to stay together until God scattered them by confusing the languages. Also, Genesis 11 contains the generations from Noah to Abraham, setting up Genesis 12 in which God calls Abraham.

The Book of Genesis - Session 19 - The Table of Nations

We examine Genesis 10 which lists the various nations and people groups that descended from Noah. These nations and people groups are seen throughout the Old Testament, and it is interesting and instructive to see how humanity spread out after the flood.

The Book of Genesis - Session 18 - The End of the Flood

We now come to Genesis 9 and the end of the flood. Disembarking from the ark, Noah and his family were faced with a completely new world, unlike the one that existed just a little over a year earlier. Everything they knew, and everyone they knew, no longer existed, and now it was time for them to repopulate the world.

The Book of Genesis - Session 17 - The Flood - Part 3

We continue our discussion of the global, universal flood as recorded in Genesis 7-9.

The Book of Genesis - Session 16 - The Global Flood - Part 2

We continue our study on the Global Genesis Flood. There are a lot of evangelicals who deny there was a universal, global flood, instead seeing it a local flood only. In this study, we will continue to make the case that the flood of Genesis 6–9 was a global deluge, the effects of which are seen today.

The Book of Genesis - Session 15 - The Global Flood - Part 1

We begin a multi-session study on the Global Genesis Flood. There are a lot of evangelicals who deny there was a universal, global flood, instead seeing it a local flood only. In this study, we will make the case that the flood of Genesis 6–9 was a global deluge, the effects of which are seen today.

The Book of Genesis - Session 14 - The Generations of Adam

We look at the descendants of Adam, as recorded in Genesis 5. The genealogies in this chapter connect the creation of Adam to the flood, a period of 1,651 years.

The Book of Genesis - Session 13 - Cain and Abel and the Line of Cain

We continue our discussion of Cain and Abel along with the descendants of Cain as outlines in Genesis 4:17–24.

The Book of Genesis - Session 12 - Cain and Able - Part 1

We begin a look at the account of Cain and Able in Genesis 4. 

The Book of Genesis - Session 11 - The Fall of Man

We continue our look at the fall of man as found in Genesis 3, with a focus on the results of the fall both on humanity and the creation.
