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…

Intro (Lighthouse / Navy ship joke.) I’m about to tell a joke. You may have hear it before. But if you have, please be kind and laugh at the end anyway. There was a ship at sea on a foggy night.

We are beginning our journey for 14 weeks through the Bible.

A quick look at God’s involvment in Abrahams life.

Last week we saw Abraham journey and settle in the Negev, the south country, in Gerar. He continues to wander as a stranger within the land that has been promised to him and his descendants. He interacted with the king, Abimelech, who took Sarah for his own after Abraham said she was his sister. While…

Hebrews 11:17-22 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He received the promises and he was offering his unique son, the one it had been said about, Your seed will be traced through Isaac. He considered God to be able even to raise someone from the dead, and as an illustration, he received…

Sacrificial Faithfulness One of the many books my kids have is the Jesus Story Book Bible. It’s awesome, and if you don’t have one you should get one. There are places were even Corrie and I were like, “Wow, I’ve never thought of it this way.” It’s a great book for people of all ages. We have a copy…

Alliteration is not my thing… I am more of a practical say it as it is kind of guy. However it just came out better today as we look closer at part two of Land Love & Legacy. We took an overarching approach last week to these three chapters of the epilogue of Abraham’s life and I would like us to look…

LEGACY = Has been defined as… “A gift, something transmitted by or recieved from an ancestor or predecessor, or someone given special status because of a familial relationship.” THE GIFT = we will be considering is the blessing from God to Abraham to Isaac and the descendants to come. This gift and blessing…

As we come to chapter 22 we come to the climatic portion of Abraham’s life in the scriptures. In fact, when you get to verse 20 it begins in the portion of scripture that would be considered the epilogue of Abraham’s story as it prepares to transition to Isaac’s narrative. Consider Abraham’s journey…

Abraham's near sacrifice of Isaac is a picture of the death of Jesus.

We are on a journey these Sundays in Lent — a journey of Returning from Exile. Last Sunday we reflected on the beauty of a garden. God created it all, including our first parents — Adam and Eve — and He called it “very good;” He referred to them as the “crown of His creation.” The garden was beautiful,…

ME: It’s good to be back with y’all. It was good to spend last weekend with my daughter. We had an AIRBNB and we just sat around playing cards all weekend. Now, remember, I don’t like playing cards, but my daughter does. She probably doesn’t like sitting around the house much either, but she did it to…

ME: There’s a cultural phenomenon going on in our world today called “cancel culture”. What it says is that if you express views that are contrary to those acceptable by a particular group - whether that be a group of friends, a business, a media channel, a government official, you can be locked out…

We are back in our study of the book of Genesis today. In our series THE PROMISE, we come to Genesis chapter 19 today. If you have read the text or are familiar with the story, you can probably understand why I’m always tempted to focus on the sin of the outsiders in texts like this. They are so obvious…

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…

Yet God blesses them The temptation when we look at someone like Abram is “What about me? ” I come to church, I try to do the right things… i”m not…
