ME: Picture of a funeral Our tendency to want to move on YOU: The story is is to shift our focus to Isaac and the next generations.

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

Every episode is full of conflict but back then they handled conflict very differently than we do today. It’s hard to tell…
