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. We need a finished image, and the right steps to get us there. Overview. Today: Gen 25:19 through 29:30…

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…

Judges: In Need of a King Judges. One of the least studied books of the OT. Perhaps some of the minor prophets see less attention than Judges, but certainly, as far as the narrative passages go, the book of Judges doesn’t see a whole lot of action on Sunday mornings.

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.
