Mt. Moriah, The Place Of Sacrifice

Contributed by Stephen E. Trail on Jan 17, 2022

The scarlet thread that runs through the Bible that emphasizes the importance of sacrifice.

Mt. Moriah, The Place of Sacrifice While I was studying this week I came across the name of a place called Mt. Moriah. The name Moriah means “God is my teacher,” and how appropriate for us this morning as we look at the importance of this place in the Bible. I did some research and found a gold ...read more

Coming In First

Contributed by Travis Voeltz on Jun 30, 2020

Who do you love the most…? And, how much do you love that person…? Now take that love you have and ask yourself…what would you do if God suddenly told you to sacrifice that person…?

Open What do you love the most…? I read on article in USA Today that listed the 20 most popular things people are buying today. Some of the 20 listed were: cloth face coverings, hand sanitizer, mother’s day flowers (I’m guessing this wasn’t on Father’s day), active dry yeast, toilet paper, the ...read more

Bio Of A First-Class Dad

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 15, 2019

Why was Abraham called "Father of us all?" Because he was a first-class Dad. He was a Man of Leadership, a Man of Faith, and a Man of Prayer. If we want to be first-class Dads, we should follow his example.

BIO OF A FIRST-CLASS DAD Gen. 17:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE DEFINITION OF BARBECUING It’s the only type of cooking a "real man" will do. When a man volunteers to do the ’BBQ’ the following chain of events are put into motion: 1. The woman goes to the store. 2. The woman fixes the ...read more

Strong Leader

Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 27, 2022

Leadership qualities of Abraham stand out in this chapter which we all should emulate.

Small beginning Genesis 23:20 “So the field and the cave that is in it, were deeded over to Abraham for a burial site by the sons of Heth.” Though chapter 23 begins by talking about the death of Sarah who was 127 years old; yet, we need to have spiritual eyes to understand the work of God behind ...read more

"Our Savior And Scarecrows: How To Fight Your Fears” Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on May 11, 2022

God didn’t call Abraham to be the Father of Faith because He was a spiritual giant; quiet to contrary, He called Him because He was human, yet willing to be molded, melted, and changed. He wants to do the same for you.

One of God’s staple, primary commands to His followers is simply: “Do not fear.” It is interesting but did you know that the phrase: “Do not fear or Fear not” occurs over 300 times in the Bible and in some translations it actually occurs 365 times—some say 1 for every day of the year. Here’s the ...read more

Tale Of Two Fathers (Father’s Day)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022

Abraham and Lot were both saved men, but Lot was like many of the fathers today. The way Lot lived his life, it is difficult to believe he was saved.

Abram had been accompanied by Lot in all his wanderings. But a separation must take place between them. Abram and his seed were to be kept distinct from all other races, as from him the promised Messiah was to spring. This also was brought about by what seemed a series of natural circumstances, ...read more

Hoping Against Hope Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 20, 2022

In Romans 4:18-25, the Apostle Paul shows us through the life and faith of the patriarch Abraham three realities of Biblical hope: 1) Its Analysis (vv. 18–19), 2) Its Assurance (v20- 22), and 3) Its Application (vv. 23–25).

Romans 4:18-25. [18] In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, "So shall your offspring be."

Jehovah Jireh, My Provider

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 16, 2024

Today we look at the story of Genesis 22, and God's call to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac at Mt. Moriah. To fully understand the story, we need to look deep into Abraham's life, and see how God kept all His promises to Abraham, so we can see how he keeps His promises to us.

Jehovah Jireh, My Provider Good Morning. And a Happy Father’s Day. Today, we revisit Genesis 22, which, I will grant, that on the surface, seems to be a horrible Father’s Day reading. I skimmed through it 3 months ago in relation to Jesus comments about taking up His Cross. Today, we’ll look at ...read more

Wealth Doesn't Guarantee Heaven SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

Jesus, through the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, illustrates that wealth does not equate to righteousness. The rich man, despite having worldly possessions, lacked what was necessary for entry into heaven.

Today, we will explore the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, as told by Jesus. This parable serves to remind us that being wealthy does not equate to being righteous.
