Patriarchs

During this formative era, the Lord summons Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldees to forge a covenant that promises a land, a multitude of descendants, and blessing extending to all families of the earth. Through the lives of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, the narrative unfolds with divine interventions amid famine, deception, and betrayal, revealing God's sovereign providence in preserving the family line. These events lay the essential groundwork for the nation of Israel and the unfolding plan of redemption, as the patriarchs' faith is tested and ultimately vindicated in their settlement within Egypt.
