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

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless, 2 that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” “ El ” is the name of God that speaks of power. “ Shaddai ” mean from a Hebrew word…

Intro I’ve got a little metal train on my desk. Well, It’s parts of a train… Our lives are like that train. We might have some pieces in place, but the pieces don’t know what the train looks like.

Last week we witnessed the death of Abraham, and the generations that came from his sons born to him by his concubines. We also saw the children of Isaac born, Esau and Jacob. 1 Now there was a famine in the land, besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to…

God Visible and Invisible At the close of last week I noted that the “Word of YHWH” as a visible appearance of God as a man. This could lead to several questions. One of those was how a first-century Jew would have parsed the idea of Jesus being the “Word made flesh.” True, there was Old Testament precedent…

This Torah Portion: Gen 25:19 - 28:9 Introduction In the previous Torah portions we talked about God calling Abraham out of his country and family We talked about the tests that Abraham faced - tests which are not passing or failing tests, but a benefit to us We also heard last two weeks how Messiah…

For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.

21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23…

As I have read through scripture, studied it, discussed it with others, and heard people share their thoughts concerning the things God has recorded for us in His Word i have noticed a tendency… People (myself included) tend to find the faults in those we study .

Unusual Characters Used By God Isaac Needs a Wife It all started well and good. Abraham sent his servant to his brother Nahor’s town, Aram-naharaim in NW Mesopotamia, not so far from Haran, where Abraham had left his Father’s family.

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…

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. 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…

Pentateuch is crucial to the rest of the Old Testament and the whole Bible Pentateuch means “5 Books”. It is the Book of the…

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…

The Right Response 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers…

If you’re like me, you probably rush through the “begats” or the lineages of the Bible, but they become important and really demonstrate how the Bible weaves together. We began with Adam. Adam had Cain, and then Abel. We saw that Cain killed Abel, and the Adam and Eve had another son they named Seth.…
