    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 18 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011

     | 4,274 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 18 1. And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the ...read more

    A face to face meeting with God is not only once-in-a- lifetime experience, but is to be part of our daily life. Key parts of a meeting with God include welcome, worship, pouring out your heart, and listening to Gd.

    In the 70’s and early 80’s there was an obsession with UFO’s and making connections with alien life forms. One of the key films that was at the heart of this craze was Close Encounters of a 3rd Kind. There is a desperate search in mankind to find life outside of earth. ...read more

    As time passes by, we lose our hope that God is going to fulfill the promises He's made. This message looks at why God delays and how we can maintain solid faith in the face of the waiting.

    [This is a long outline that might be better suited to a Wednesday evening Bible study.] WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH AT GOD? We laugh because we’ve given up hope. - Genesis 18:11-12. - The way verse 12 is phrased makes it obvious that she once harbored real hope that this would happen. The problem is ...read more

    (1) In prayer, we are engaging an active God who respond. (2) In prayer, do not limit the way God respond to you; and (3) in prayer, God converse with you as His friend.

    [I’ve take most thoughts in this sermon from John White’s book People in Prayer.] Last week we look at one of God’s promise when a person prays: • Heb 11:6 “...anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” • God gives us a promise, that if ...read more
