In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman jump into Abraham’s story in Abraham 1 and Genesis 12–17 and start building a picture of God as a God of promises. The stars become the symbol for this week, a reminder that the Lord’s goodness is multiplying, personal, and still true every time you look up at the night sky.
They begin with Abraham’s rescue on the altar and the tender way Jehovah introduces Himself: “My name is Jehovah.” From there, the lesson becomes an introduction to who God is, what He’s like, and what He promises to do for His children. You’ll see a God who hears, comes down to deliver, takes you by the hand, and leads you forward even when the future feels uncertain.
As the class moves into Genesis, they walk through the promises of the Abrahamic covenant, not just as ancient history, but as living promises for ordinary, messy, faithful people. God promises blessing, protection, purpose, and multiplication, and He invites Abraham to become part of the work of blessing all the families of the earth, including a powerful rescue moment where Abraham pursues Lot like a type and shadow of the Savior.
The episode ends in Genesis 15 with one of the most hope filled covenant scenes in scripture. Abraham asks “How will I know?” and God answers by making a covenant of grace, walking through the pieces Himself as if to say, I will keep My promises, and I will cover yours too. When you need the reminder, look to the stars and remember the kind of God who guarantees hope.
