The words “ Once upon a time... ” or “ I remember when.. .” spark intrigue to the listener. I love this time of year until about late fall… It’s camp fire time! The family gathers around a fire pit instead of a TV or other electronic device. Stories are shared dreams are expressed. Laughter is heard…

ME: There’s a cultural phenomenon going on in our world today called “cancel culture”.

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.

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

Well, last week we left off with Noah and the flood, and during the past week I think God has been reminding us with all the rain we’ve been having.

Late fall has us preparing for winter and celebrating the harvest. For most of us, not living close to the land, it is far more symbolic than it once was, but we still have a vestigial, cultural celebration of harvest. Looking for themes of harvest in the Bible is fruitful (pun intended). We run across…

The Flood Waters Recede 1 God remembered Noah, as well as all the wildlife and all the livestock that were with him in the ark.
