This is that sermon you may not want your child to sit through. I’m not going to go into detail, there will be nothing explicit, but there are two or three horrible topics in our text for today. Genesis 19 is dark. It’s a sensitive and touchy chapter. I believe our children need to hear every bit of…

Genesis 19:27-38 27 Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the Lord . 28 He looked out toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of that region.

We are back in our study of the book of Genesis today. In our series THE PROMISE, we come to Genesis chapter 19 today.

That may Some things to notice: The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Most of us read this verse and we probably don’t think much about what we read. But if you were a Jew, the word LORD would spark all sorts…

The waiting game What about me? There is a danger in reading a text like we have today. Abram and Sarai were pagan’s. Spent years going against God’s will.

Michelle and I have been watching a series on Amazon Prime called Poldark… it’s based on a series of books written back in the 1940’s about a family in London around the late 1700s. Every episode is full of conflict but back then they handled conflict very differently than we do today. It’s hard to tell…

Make a faith statement by living in light of God’s covenant promise

God’s got my attention in two ways this week. One way has to do with power; and the other with what it means to take hands, to be in relationship with one another. First up, power. I have this thing that I’ve noticed which I think might be one of the way God gets my attention. I’ll often have songs in…

After seeing the unrighteousness and wickedness of mankind, ourselves included in Romans 1:18-3:20 , we finally saw a solution. Our unrighteousness was bringing God’s wrath and judgment upon us.
