Today we are wrapping up this six part study of the Good News called, “Life in 6 Words.” We get these six words by using the word “Gospel” as an acrostic. As a way of review, let’s walk through these six words one final time… G - God created us to be with Him. ( Genesis 1-2 ) O - Our sins separate us…

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…

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.…

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…

Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. Who is Sarah? Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she…

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.

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

After these events, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield; your reward will be very great.

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…

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; Matthew Henry, the Bible commentator said...
