We are back in Genesis, picking up where we left off. So far, we have observed in Genesis the creation of the heavens and the earth, and mankind on the earth.

Scripture is clear that Jacob was a man who had faith in God, a man who feared God… BUT HE WAS WEAK. NOW… do not come to Jacob’s life in his weak faith and feel it is okay to mimic his life.

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.

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.

Will you trust God even when life hurts?

In our first message of this prophet we saw that things were about to get worse before they get better.
