The Gift Of Giving Up

Contributed by Pat Cook on Sep 6, 2003

Abram’s faith and selflessness in dealing with Lot is an example to us when it comes to giving to God. This was Self-Denial Sunday for an offering given to missions.

The Gift of Giving Up – Genesis 13:1-18 In August 1994, a Korean air jet skidded across a rain-soaked runway and rammed into a safety barricade in Cheju, Korea. All 160 passengers escaped to safety, just moments before the plane exploded into flames. So what caused this near tragedy? According to ...read more

Sold Out To God Or To The World? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 18, 2005

What are the signs of good leadership? Abram exhibits them as he and 318 men take on a whole army. Then Abram must make a choice - serve God or the world. How would you respond?

In these two chapters we have two amazing accounts - the first of Abram and how he routed a whole army with 318 men - and the second, we get our first real glimpse at what many feel is the pre-incarnate Christ - Melchizedek. Verses 1 - 12 The city-kings around the Dead Sea paid tribute to ...read more

A Meal & A Promise Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005

What would you do if God came to dinner? Abraham gives his best to the Lord and receives fellowship, promise, and plans for the future in return.

Two things are accomplished in this chapter - a visit from God Himself for two reasons: blessings and judgment. God is reminding Abraham - and especially Sarah - of the promised son, and to engage Abraham in a discussion about judging sin. It teaches about God’s character and intercession. Verse ...read more

The Biggest Tent Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005

Abraham faces his biggest challenge yet. And through it God shows a wonderful picture of Jesus Christ through the sacrifice of Isaac.

Abraham didn’t wake up one morning and say "Oh, I better get my prayer life in order - today’s a big test day from God." We don’t get that chance either - and our relationship with the Lord needs to be in order so that on any day a test comes - we’ll be ready. We learn today about the nature of ...read more

Genesis 22: A Test For You

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 27, 2007

A discussion on GENESIS 22, showing how the test of Abraham is also a test for us, and in that test, we are given a moment of personal testimony.

There is one constant in the kingdom of God. Every time God tests our faith, He also gives us something in return. That ‘something’ is a defining moment, and we refer to these as ‘personal testimonies’. They give witness to the fact that God is active and working in our lives. Two weeks ago, ...read more
