     | 10,134 views

    Through God's promises to Abraham, we see how His promises never change.

    Introductory Considerations 1. Tommy knew that his father kept his promises. And so when his father promised to buy him a new bike, he was excited. But he would have to wait a year - when he would turn 8 years old. Tommy couldn’t wait. He wanted to make sure his father wouldn’t forget and he ...read more

    A Study of the Life of Abraham A Fresh Encounter With God Gen 17:1-8 In this passage there is a definite challenge to Abram to move to a new level of trust and faith.

    Laughing Away The Burdens

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000

     | 17,594 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

    Three privileges of being a friend of God.

    “The Privileges of Friendship with God” Genesis 18:1-33 To say that Abraham was God’s friend meant that he was a human being to whom the God of the universe felt close, whom he regarded highly, and with whom He wanted to share some of His intimate thoughts.

    Fourth in a six-part series on the life of faith as seen in the person of Abraham

    Shortcuts to God’s will are not worth taking. In chapter 16, we read that Abram and Sarai decided that enough was enough; perhaps God meant that Abram would have a son by another woman, since Sarai was barren, and so she gave her maiden Hagar to Abram. Hagar conceived and bore Ishmael to Abram; ...read more

    Fifth in a six-part series on the life of faith as seen in the person of Abraham

    Cross a pessimist with a comedian and you get Woody Allen. His brand of off-beat, self-deprecating, hang-dog humor can be sometimes insightful, sometimes depressing, but usually, pretty funny. A sampling of his best one-liners: “I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam: I ...read more

    When God covenants with us, there has to be a mark, but where?

    · When God made this powerful covenant with Abraham, He demanded a physical sign of the covenant, a mark that set the person apart as a carrier of the covenant. · God could have asked for many different signs - he could have asked for a pierced ear, but it is not a covenant of idle words and no ...read more
