| 151 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 22 - Abraham in Egypt | 312 | The two symbols that characterized Abraham's life were the tent (detachment from the world) and the altar (attachment to God). Was the trip to Egypt, as some believe, a digression from God's will and a waste of time? Ed shows three things Abraham learned about trusting God even in the midst of his mistakes. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_22.mp3 | Genesis 12:10-20 | ||||||
| 152 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 23 - Abram Separates from Lot | 312 | Real pilgrim faith lets God do the choosing. "Sight is narrow and sight is weak; God's plan is bigger than any of us can imagine." Lot is one of the strongest biblical pictures of worldliness, and he exhibits those characteristics of a settler: 1) always choosing for himself by sight, and 2) unhappy and miserable in the midst of ungodliness. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_23.mp3 | Genesis 13 | ||||||
| 153 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 24 - Lot the Settler | 312 | Melchizedek's ministry was to bless, to refresh and to receive worship. He was a universal priest to all men (for there were no Jews at that time). This union of priest and king is a wonderful picture of our Lord Jesus! Ed develops some of the contrasts between the Melchizedek priesthood and the Aaronic priesthood, both of which picture Christ. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_24.mp3 | Genesis 13, Genesis 14:17-20, 15:1-6 | ||||||
| 154 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 25 The War of the Kings | 312 | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_25.mp3 | ||||||||
| 155 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 26 Melchizedek | 312 | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_26.mp3 | ||||||||
| 156 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 27 - The Torch Covenant | 312 | Three areas people get tripped up on faith is putting faith in the Lord plus works, putting faith in one's faith, and seeing the object of faith as the Bible not the Lord. The torch covenant pictures the 100% grace of God; our part is to take a rugged stand on the finished work. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_27.mp3 | Genesis 15 | ||||||
| 157 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 28 - Patient Faith | 312 | The bigger picture of Abraham and Hagar is the war between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. Satan's tactics have always been to prevent the seed, corrupt the seed and destroy the seed. The underlying principle is patient faith that waits for the Lord. As Christians, having a "barren womb" in regards to God's promises is God's way of making the Christian life a perpetual miracle. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_28.mp3 | Genesis 16:1-6, Romans 4:18-22 | ||||||
| 158 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 29 - The Angel of the Lord | 312 | 4 characteristics of impatient faith are attempting to help God in His work, reasonableness, avoiding the consequences of its own actions, and always produce an Ishmael. The very first appearance of the Son of God as the Angel of the Lord is to a nobody like Hagar. But the glorious truth is that when I begin to see the God who sees me, it transforms my life! | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_29.mp3 | Genesis 16:7-16 | ||||||
| 159 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 30 - The Sign of the Covenant | 312 | God affirms that despite Abraham's mess ups, the promises are assured in God not in man. Circumcision as a picture of the separation from the flesh (holiness), at the same time reminding Abraham of his immorality, the sign upon the source of life, and determining the man to be the head of the family. Every command of God is also a promise inviting us to claim the command in the same way we claim the promise. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_30.mp3 | Genesis 17 | ||||||
| 160 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 31 - Supernational Fruit | 312 | Ed summarizes the revival Abraham experienced in chapter 17 by God reminding him of three things: how great He is, it's not by the flesh, and the promise of supernatural fruit. Abram's and Sarai's name changes signify a call to faith. Abraham's laughter is looked at from two opposing viewpoints: a laugh of faith and a laugh of unbelief. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_31.mp3 | Genesis 17:1 - 18:15 | ||||||
| 161 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 32 - Intercessory Prayer | 312 | Intercessory faith is a byproduct of intimate communion with God. Intercession begins with a revelation of God. Intercessory prayer is always reverent, knowing that we started from dust and are heading toward ashes. It progresses in the knowledge of God and knows when to stop as well as when to start. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_32.mp3 | Genesis 18:16-33 | ||||||
| 162 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 33 - Sodom & Gomorrah | 312 | The final characteristic of the settler life is to be a loser. Lot thought he was choosing heaven by taking his family to Sodom but in reality he chose hell. The settler, unlike the pilgrim, has no ministry at all, even in the day of emergency. The settler can't let this world go and is afraid of the will of God. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_33.mp3 | Genesis 19 | ||||||
| 163 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 34 - The Awesome Mercy of God | 312 | Within the fire and brimstone and ashes of God's judgment is a"necklace of gems" strung together by the awesome mercy of God. Ed shares ten precious jewels of God's mercy illustrated in the life of Lot the settler. Our God is a consuming fire to burn up everything in our lives that is not Christ. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_34.mp3 | Genesis 19 | ||||||
| 164 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 35 - Abraham in Error | 312 | Genesis 20 shows that godly men sometimes relapse into the same old sin. It serves as a warning to us as believers that the potential to sin is at the beginning, the middle and the end. The root causes for Abraham's failure in faith was in his unwillingness to die. Yet through all of the backsliding, God called him a prophet, preserved the Messianic line, and turned the curse into a blessing so that when he left everybody was bearing fruit! | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_35.mp3 | Genesis 20 | ||||||
| 165 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 36 - Chapter 21 | 312 | In chapter 21, the birth of Isaac is about trusting Jesus, the casting out of Ishmael is about no trusting the flesh, and Abraham's covenant with Abilimech is about manifesting Christ. This is what full restoration with God is all about. Embracing Isaac is a picture of the fruit of grace, and teaches us that when we become "Isaac-centered" (i.e., Christ-centered), we will let go of Ishmael--legalism and trying to circumvent the barren womb. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_36.mp3 | Genesis 21 | ||||||
| 166 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 37 - Introduction to Abraham & Isaac | 312 | The final story of chapter 21 centers around the well of Beersheba which points to our testimony before the world: drinking from Christ. Chapter 22 is full of glorious pictures of the Lord Jesus and Calvary! As God brings us to tested faith, it has four characteristics: 1) always militates against the flesh, 2) goes against human wisdom/reason, 3) tests time, and 4) goes against sight. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_37.mp3 | Genesis 21:22 - 22:13 | ||||||
| 167 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 38 - Results of Real Faith | 312 | Real faith will be active, not just passive. Just as fire that does not burn is not fire, faith that does not have works is not faith. The nature of faith is works; the goal of faith is Christ. What we learn from Abraham's offering of Isaac is that every time God sends a test in my life, He's calling me to die and rise again. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_38.mp3 | Genesis 22:1-19 | ||||||
| 168 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 39 - The Death of Sarah | 312 | Ed shows how this good news comes to Abraham about his brother's children after 50 years of silence and how this ties into the coming bride for Isaac. The death of Sarah shows how real faith grieves, hopes and functions in its dealings with the world. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_39.mp3 | Genesis 22:19 - 24:3 | ||||||
| 169 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 40 - A Bride for Isaac | 312 | Real faith cannot rest satisfied until Jesus has His bride. Genesis 24 is a wonderful picture of God the Father (Abraham as the type) getting a bride (Rebekka as the church) for Isaac (the Son, Jesus). The servant shows how the Church as led by the Holy Spirit is guided by faith, looks for a true seeker, comes laden with good news, and has an urgency to bring the bride back. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_40.mp3 | Genesis 24 | ||||||
| 170 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 41 - Introduction to Isaac | 312 | Abraham's short involvement in chapter 24 points to two characteristics of mature faith: 1) the more you will be in the background, and 2) faith that commits another to God. Isaac is a picture of the average believer, gaining significance only in his connection with Abraham and Jacob. Ed overviews Isaac's life as shown in six major events. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_41.mp3 | Genesis 25:1-18, Galatians 4:28-31 | ||||||
| 171 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 42 - Isaac's Surrender | 312 | Isaac's contribution to redemption was being a link between Abraham and Jacob and being a picture of submission. Ed draws three characteristics of real surrender: 1) it is the starting point not the goal, 2) it never gets off covenant ground (waits patiently for God to bring the blessing), and 3) feels no security but in God alone. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_42.mp3 | Genesis 21 - 26 | ||||||
| 172 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 43 - Isaac's Wells | 312 | Chapter 26 has 3 recurring emphases: the blessing of God, wells and persecution. The climax of Isaac's surrender is willingness to be done unto (or "getting burned"). 3 illustrations of this spirit of non-resistance is ever persevering despite the hindrances of the enemy, refusing to fight for my rights or against the enemy, and forgiving and feeding those who have done unto you. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_43.mp3 | Genesis 26:12-33 | ||||||
| 173 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 44 - Isaac Walking by Sight | 312 | Ed wraps up the submission of Isaac by showing how he started off blind but got spiritual illumination at the end, gaining him entrace into the Hebrews 11 "hall of faith." NOTE: Only the last 7 minutes of this teaching are recorded. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_44.mp3 | Genesis 27:1-40 | ||||||
| 174 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 45 - Overview of Jacob | 312 | Jacob pictures the legalist, one who is self-sufficient and uses human means to reach a divine end. At one turning point at Bethel, God revealed that true blessing comes through the Ladder--Jesus--not by Jacob's manipulation and scheming. God's war against self-sufficiency climax at Peniel, where He weakened Jacob to the place where he could only cling. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_45.mp3 | Genesis 25 - 32 | ||||||
| 175 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 46 - Jacob the Heel Snatcher | 312 | The life of Jacob is God's great warning to all legalists, those involved in self-trust and self-sufficiency to obtain what God has already given. Every time you "heel grab", you're not mature, for maturity is contending with the Lord. It's not trying hard to be spiritual is trying to be someone else; the blessing always comes through the Ladder--Christ. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_46.mp3 | Genesis 25:21-34, Hosea 12:3 | ||||||
| 176 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 47 - Jacob & Laban | 312 | One principle of how God deals with self-sufficient people is reaping the harvest of what they've sown. God brought a deceitful heel grabber Laban into Jacob's life to hold up a mirror to truly see who he was. The 20 hard years with Laban only proved that the religious experience at Bethel didn't touch his self-life. But God patiently worked to bring Jacob back to the Ladder--Christ the all sufficiency. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_47.mp3 | Genesis 28, 29:1-25 | ||||||
| 177 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 48 - Jacob & Laban | 312 | Jacob is a lesson of how God continually weans us from self-sufficiency. His 20-year service to Laban radically changed his thinking that blessing comes from serving not being served. God also chooses the weak things, like Leah who didn't have all the externals like Rachel but produced fruit--Levi and Judah from which the priests and kings sprung forth. Jacob learned toward the end (with the striped and speckled sheep) that God will bring His own blessing against nature. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_48.mp3 | Genesis 29 - 30 | ||||||
| 178 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 49 - Jacob & Laban | 312 | 3 great principles of preparation to go back to Bethel starts with God putting a burning desire to return home. Then circumstances working together and a word from God complete that preparation process. Jacob seeing the two camps is a highlight of God once again opening his eyes to spiritual things. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_49.mp3 | Genesis 31 - 32 | ||||||
| 179 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 50 - Jacob Wrestling / Chapter 32 | 312 | Jacob's wrestling match with the Angel of the Lord did nothing more than bring Jacob back to the Ladder--the blessing comes through Christ. We learn from this that God is always the initiator. When He fights us, He always strengthens us to prevail with Him but weakens us to the place where we can only cling to Him. It is the revelation of Christ (Peniel - "the face of God") that absolutely transforms us from a Jacob to an Israel. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_50.mp3 | Genesis 32 | ||||||
| 180 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 51 - Jacob Transformed | 312 | After the wrestling match, the name changed from Jacob rules to God rules. Yet this transformation did not exempt him from the common problems in life and the consequences of his own sin. Tremendous changes occurred afterwards: 1) He becomes God-centered, and 2) he desired to be righteous and holy. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_51.mp3 | Genesis 32 - 35 | ||||||
| 181 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 52 - Conclusion of Jacob's Life | 312 | Two more changes in Jacob's life as a result of wrestling with God and prevailing include becoming a man of faith and trusting the Lord without expectations. His changed heart was evidenced in his resitution of giving the birthright back to Esau and obeying God's revelations. On his deathbed he came to expect only what God gives and God allows, and Hebrews 11 reports that he died "leaning on his staff"--a picture of helpless dependence upon the Lord. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_52.mp3 | Genesis 32, 35, 48-49, Hebrews 11:21 | ||||||
| 182 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 53 - Joseph the Complete Christian | 312 | Joseph is God's illustration of the mature believer, the complete Christian with the faith of Abraham, the surrender of Isaac, and the God-sufficiency of Jacob all rolled up into one. Joseph also marvellously pictures the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, especially in the valley of humiliation and exaltation. The faith of Abraham is seen in the six dreams and faith for others as he spoke concerning the burial of his bones in the Promised Land. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_53.mp3 | Genesis 37 - 50 | ||||||
| 183 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 54 - Joseph: Submission of Isaac | 312 | A person is complete to the degree he knows the full presence of the Lord in his life. "The LORD was with him" was the secret of Joseph's life. The life of submission to the Lord is very practical. While waiting for God's will to be fulfilled, Joseph was faithful to set his heart on truth and sincerity, obeying those over him in the Lord, setting his heart upon pleasing his Father God, and having a right attitude towards suffering. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_54.mp3 | Genesis 37 - 50 | ||||||
| 184 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 55 - Joseph: All Sufficiency of Christ | 312 | We learn from Joseph's life that maturity ever has to do with living in the "conditional presence" of God. Because Joseph could see God in everything, he could forgive Potiphar's wife when he later had power to throw her into prison and could forgive his brothers too. For Joseph living in God's presence, evangelism was a natural thing, not one of ramrodding the gospel down people's throats. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_55.mp3 | Genesis 37 - 50 | ||||||
| 185 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 56 - Joseph: Picture of Christ | 312 | Although there are many striking comparisons of Joseph to the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit homes in on the way Joseph revealed himself to his brothers. The way that Joseph prepares his brothers is the way Jesus prepares us! | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_56.mp3 | Genesis 37 - 45 | ||||||
| 186 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 57 - Joseph: Pre-Grace | 312 | Two evidences of pre-preparation in the lives of Joseph's brother were the terrible sorrow they caused their father--a bitter arrow in their conscience--and famine. It was a severe famine that brought them to Egypt and reduced them to helplessness and created a hunger. The preparation to seeing Joseph started with the conviction of sin, which Joseph masterfully did by calling them spies. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_57.mp3 | Genesis 37 - 45 | ||||||
| 187 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 58 - Joseph's Banquet | 312 | After conviction of sin, God confuses us with grace in order for His revelation to come to us. Benjamin represents the "everything"--there will be no revelation until the best and last is laid down. The final preparation starts with the banquet, a foretaste of the good things to come. Many get up from the table and miss the kingdom, therefore, we must experience the silver cup. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_58.mp3 | Genesis 42 - 43 | ||||||
| 188 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 59 - The Silver Cup | 312 | The essence of the Christian life is not coming to God with a gift, filling our "sacks", and then going away. The Lord has His "silver cup" to turn us from seeking His blessing and not His face. The cup had a three-fold ministry to the brothers: 1) a heart searching, 2) genuine repentance, and 3) bringing them back to the feet of Joseph. The Lord Jesus is determined that He will not be a stranger to you! | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_59.mp3 | Genesis 44 | ||||||
| 189 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 60 - The Revelation of Joseph | 312 | The revelation of Christ is always good news! Ed shares 7 things Joseph had to share with his brothers and his father that illustrate the heart of the gospel. In the outworking of this revelation, Israel and his family went back to Goshen loaded down in the caravans, a foretaste of divine grace with one focus: I will see him. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_60.mp3 | Genesis 45 - 46 | ||||||
| 190 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 61 - The Revelation of Joseph | 312 | The final appearance of God to a patriarch gave assurance to Jacob's theological dilemma of going to Egypt. Following the gospel God personally comes to bring assurance. The four kinds of tears during Joseph's exaltation illustrate the heart of Jesus towards us. He weeps when we're not ready to know Him, tears of joy when we are ready, tears of reception when we return to Him, and tears of disappointment when He doubt His faithfulness. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_61.mp3 | Genesis 46 | ||||||
| 191 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 62 - Joseph's Family Before Pharoah | 312 | Joseph presenting his brothers before Pharoah is a wonderful picture of Jesus presenting His brothers before God the Father. In this little glimpse, we see Jesus going in before us, unashamed to call us brothers, and stays there with us in the presence of God. Jacob's stand before Pharoah pictures a transformed Israel not looking for one red cent from the greatest monarch of the world but desiring to bless. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_62.mp3 | Genesis 46 - 50 | ||||||
| 192 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 63 - The Dying Faith of Jacob | 312 | Joseph presenting his children before Jacob is a shadow of Jesus presenting His children before Father God. Jacob died leaning on his staff, a symbol of the reliance upon God after his wrestling match with the Angel. Joseph's oath to bury his bones in Canaan hold a number of truths, one being the faith that the sovereign God will take care of everything. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_63.mp3 | Genesis 48 - 50 | ||||||
| 193 | Old Testament Books | Pentateuch | Genesis Buttonwoods | Genesis 64 - Blessings Conclusion | 312 | The blessings given out to each tribe are suited to their tendencies; even the warnings become blessings if taken heed to. Ed concludes this marvelous study on the book of Genesis by showing the 6 positive characteristics of 6 of the tribes and how these appear in the Church, and contrariwise the 6 negative characteristics and how they manifest as well. | Ed Miller | Genesis_No_64.mp3 | Genesis 49 | ||||||
