Melchizedek Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 18, 2005

Melchizedek is one of the most mysterious people in the Old Testament, but he holds the key why Jesus is a better high priest than one born of Aaron. Also learn how Jesus knows all of your needs before you do.

Once someone’s mind is made up it is very difficult sometimes to change it. Back in the 15th century the world’s leaders and scientists were convinced that earth was flat because, after all, when you look out towards the horizon it looks flat. People were executed for doubting this principal. It ...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.

The Plot & The Promise Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 18, 2005

Abraham and Sarah think they know best how to fulfill Gods promise. Doing things our way can have unintended consequences.

What happens when God doesnt move fast enough for us? Do we wait patiently or do we start thinking - "maybe I was supposed to do something." In the end we muck it up by inventing answers to prayers. Thats what happens to Abram and Sarai - and it almost ruins the family. Fortunately, God is in ...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
