Honor To The King Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Feb 17, 2010

Who is Melchizedek? How did Abraham honor him? Are we going to honor our King Jesus this Christmas?

Why should we follow God? Today we’re going to see the freedom that comes from following God, and the imprisonment of following the world and its ways. Our message today is about real faith, not the kind we say in a prayer when we decide that church isn’t so bad and I think I can be a ...read more

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

You cannot understand the world if you don’t understand this man’s story. Abraham is honored as the father of three “religions of the Book” – Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Today, you can drive by synagogue, mosques, and churches – all of these consider themselves children of Abraham.

An Honest History (Genesis 12)

Nations often give a dishonest history, leaving out the bad. Does biblical history give an honest view of patriarchs, prophets, and apostles? Let's look at Genesis 12.

Nations often whitewash their history leaving out the bad. Does frank honesty about the strengths and weaknesses of patriarchs, prophets and apostles help us trust the Bible as true history? Let’s discuss this in Genesis 12. How did Abram become Abraham, father of the faithful? Does the letter to ...read more

Fine Tuning Your Focus On God Series

Contributed by Brian Atwood on Jan 12, 2006

The unique way that Abraham’s offering of his son on Mt. Moriah parallels our spiritual journey with God.

We’re continuing the series on Second Chances by evaluating another of the times the Bible uses the phrase "second time." Our focus today is on Abraham. Abraham waited until he was 100 years old for Isaac to be born but he never gave up on God’s promise of a son. Remarkable. That’s why we still ...read more

He Is Number One! Series
