Genesis 16:1-16 People make bad choices; but when we trust God’s promises we find the path to freedom. Scene 1/ People make poor choices! Is a common phrase; a phrase which is used a lot in educational settings. I have heard it used in schools, in courts and in government departments. Jeremy Clarkson…

Belief in the promised Messiah pleases God more than acts of obligation

I don’t know how many of you were out at night earlier this week on those first few cold crisp nights - the stars were out in all of their glory and if you spent a little bit of time you could easily identify the constellations - the big and little dipper, Orion, and still there were millions of other…

Building a People of God With Unusual Characters: Abram-Abraham Abraham is the second unusual character I am teaching about from the Biblical records of who God uses to build his people. I began with Noah, for he is the connection in the Bible from the line of Seth before the Flood to the line of Shem…

Understanding prophecy. Intro: Bible Prophecy! People fascinated by it. Even some who do not believe wonder what the Bible says will happen. It is not uncommon to read news articles that refer to things, and call them “apocalyptic,” a term from the bible. People are curious. They want to know. Why should…

But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ ? He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken.”…

The Sovereign God cannot be manipulated by man.

This season of the year draws out those newspapers and magazine articles that attack, question and lament the issue of the virgin birth... One writer for the New York Times put the lament plainly: “The faith in the Virgin Birth reflects the way American Christianity is becoming less intellectual and…

Proverbs 13:12 states this… Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Israel… in fact mankind had been greatly longing for a promise to be fulfilled that had been given long before… and this would be the day … no longer would the heart ache in waiting. God had made…

What Good is the Past? Lessons learned Won’t make that mistake again An opportunity for growth Faithfulness of God What God brought into our lives to teach us What God spared us from though we deserve it As we begin our study of the book of Deuteronomy we enter into it with a desire to learn from those…

We are starting a new 4 week series this morning tilted Waiting on God- Patience while waiting for the promise. Waiting on God to act or trusting His promises can be challenging. Sometimes we feel the need to take matters into our own hands, but the Bible shows us this doesn’t work out well. During this…

Introduction One of the difficult things about picking up a passage like this is that we are midstream in Paul’s argument in the book of Romans. I will attempt to summarize what Paul has been saying up to this point, but is necessarily an gross oversimplification. In chapter one Paul has demonstrated…

God is faithful to us…EVEN when we are not faithful to Him. One of the most frustrating aspects of the Christian life is our continual struggle with sin—especially our tendency to repeat sins for which we’ve already been forgiven. Even though we know the right thing to do, we often fall into old habits…

Alright, to answer the question from last week, did Abraham have any more children the answer is yes. We know he had Ishmael by Hagar, Isaac with Sarah, and after Isaac he fathered six other sons with Keturah (his second wife) after the death of Sarah ( Genesis 24:19 ). 1 Abraham took another wife, whose…

As we journey along with Abraham and Sarah, a trek we began the first Sunday of the year (January 1, 2023), we have seen that their life is quite interesting. Abraham and Sarah were already fairly old when the LORD called them to leave their homeland and venture to a land He would show them. Their life…

Messiah in Salvation History Mt 1:1-17 ; Gen 12:1-3 ; 2 Sam 7:4-17 (HPC 6 Dec 20) Confidence in God and his Promises! The old missionary had reached her final day on earth. She had spent time overseas in the past as a cross-cultural, overseas missionary. But for the last several decades had been a faithful…

Teach God’s Character and Work. (The Word) So that the people may turn from a rebellious Heart (Root) Sins of “Unbelief, Pride, Selfishness” (Repentance) and “Be Reconciled to God” (Justification) Resulting in Transformation - behavioral change of the work of the HS (Sanctification) Which is obedience…

Time and time again, we see where Abraham’s faith waivers then grows, waivers then grows. It seems when things are on the up, Abraham has a boldness like no other. But when his faith waivers, he repeatedly fails God. In Genesis 12 , God promises a great nation would come from the descendents of Abram…

I would consider myself a decent waiter. I mean by that “good at waiting,” not someone who serves food at a restaurant. I’d make a lousy waiter, but I’m a world-class waiter. I’ve spent hours waiting in the doctor’s office; days, even weeks, in the waiting room with family and friends and church family.…

TEXT: GALATIANS 3:15-29 | GOD’S COVENANT PROMISE INTRO ILLUSTRATION : Have you ever made a promise? As a kid, you learn there are certain levels of promises. The most basic level of a promise is simply saying that you promise. This carries with it the least amount of weight, but you have only said the…

While it’s easy to pay lip service to the idea that God is all powerful, it’s much more difficult to consistently live out our faith in ways that recognize God’s unlimited ability—His omnipotence. In Genesis 17 and 18, Sarai and Abram struggled to keep their composure when God delivered the seemingly…

The Prophecies Concerning Jesus Christ Part 2 | The Abrahamic Covenant

Persevering Through Silence How many of us would continue in a relationship where no one has spoken to you for years? Do you consider it a valid relationship? No, it would almost be more of a “friendship”. I mean, we have friends that we may not have spoken to in a long time but immediately can strike…

We take time during the Christmas season to remember and reflect upon the biblical story of Jesus Christ being born as the Son of Promise, the fulfillment of thousands of years of biblical prophecy. It is fitting that last week we looked at the birth of another son of promise, Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham…
