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

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 believers, our walk with God should affect those around us. Our decisions and actions should visibly reflect the commitment we’ve made as followers of Christ.

All these latter kings…

I’m beginning to think that Genesis 14 was put here to challenge those who get to preach it. The list of names is simply ridiculous; bear with me as I attempt to read the first half of the chapter. If you have your Bible (and I hope you do), please turn with me to Genesis 14 . Follow along with me. 1…

Last week we saw the split between Abram and Lot. Lot went east into the Jordan valley to settle, where Sodom and Gomorrah were.

Genesis 1:1 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

A Reason for War A Reason for War Tainted Hearts 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?

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…

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…

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

What is a priesthood? What is a priest? Who do you want as a representative for you? What kind of character qualities would you look for? We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

In the fifth sermon of the series, we explore the challenge of trusting God when His plan isn’t clear or aligns differently from our own expectations. Drawing from Proverbs 3:5-6 and Isaiah 55:8-9, we emphasize that God’s ways and timing are higher than ours, and trusting Him requires faith beyond understanding. We’ll examine how trust deepens our relationship with God, moving us from head knowledge to personal experience, and discuss how trials often strengthen our faith. By embracing God’s plan, we find peace, guidance, and unexpected blessings, even in the midst of uncertainty.
