    Genesis Lesson 42 March 31, 2002 Introduction: Read Genesis 20:1-18 Most of you have heard of Babe Ruth, the famous baseball player who was exceptional at hitting home runs. The crowds would cheer his coming to the plate with great enthusiasm. They would say things like ...read more

    Abraham’s lack of faith in God’s care for him leads him to sin

    We started out this series on the life of Abraham using the illustration of the “trust walk.” A “trust walk” is a game we played at camp where we’d have kids partner up, blind-fold each other, and lead their blind-folded partners on a trust walk through the woods. Abraham began his trust-walk ...read more

    We make assumptions and form opinions about things every day. From these assumptions we take action and make decisions. But - what if our assumptions are wrong?

    "FALSE ASSUMPTIONS" (Text: Gen. 20:1-18) 10/15/1995 By: Larry L. Schoonover) INTRODUCTION: We all make assumptions and form opinions about things each day - and from these assumptions we take action and make decisions.

    God’s grace is still faithful even though we continue to sin.

    Genesis 12:10-20; 20:1-18 March 23, 2003 Fairy tales have a sense of justice What if the ugly stepsister married the prince?

    Would I Lie To You? (Abraham On Honesty And Lying)

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 3, 2006
    based on 48 ratings
     | 8,943 views

    This passage uses Abraham’s deception as a chance to look at why we fudge the truth so often and what the consequences of our lies are.

    - Lies are a common part of our everyday lives. In fact, some of us believe that we can’t function in society without telling our share of “little white lies.” - Abraham here demonstrates aptly for us both the reasons we lie and the consequences of our untruths. WHY WE LIE: 1. We get stuck in ...read more

    For the 2nd time in his life, Abraham passes his wife off as his sister. How can he be such a great model of Godly faith when he acted out of fear?

    OPEN: How many of you have heard of the recent “Mad Cow” disease scare? (All hands went up). It seems that never a year goes by that we are not exposed to the fact that one food or another is endangered by some chemical or biological threat. Back in the late 1990’s a High School freshman won ...read more

    God wants to be master and Lord of our lives, but, God will still be God, no matter what I do!!

    God will still be God, no matter what I do!!

    Prayer is a wonderful thing. But prayer is not just to be used to get us out of trouble; it is to be used to keep us from getting in trouble.

    Abraham in Gerar. Genesis 20. 01/19/05 We find in our text another great failure on the part of Abraham. Actually, this is the third major failure of Abraham recorded in scripture after he came into the land of Canaan. The first of these failures was his lie in Egypt that Sarah was his ...read more

    Done as three monologues: fear compromises integrity, and a compromised integrity breeds more fear.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC July 13, 1986 Human beings are creatures plagued with fears and insecurities. That we have clearly established, that we talked about in certain ways last week. Of course we are a great deal more than that too. We are vastly more than a bundle of ...read more

    Part 2 - Genesis 20:1-18 - Scanning For A Trojan Horse! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 14, 2010
    based on 32 ratings
     | 5,142 views

    Genesis 20 in my Bible teaches me THAT BELIEVERS HAVE TROJAN HORSES. I knew that already from other parts of the Bible. Satan is the original HACKER and Adam and Eve fell for the Trojan Horse, installing unwanted data into the system.

    Part 2 - Genesis 20:1-18 - SCANNING FOR A TROJAN HORSE! TROJAN HORSE! It appears innocent enough, but it is a harmful piece of software that looks legitimate. It tricks people into loading the wrong things into their systems. It gives a hacker access to cause damage. Unless you have a good ...read more

    Part 3 - Genesis 20:1-18 - Lie Like The Devil? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 17, 2010
    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,154 views

    To me the real star in this soap opera scenario in Genesis 20 is not the beautiful 90 year old heroine. It’s not the big business tycoon with a LYING PROBLEM. It’s the UNDER-DOG who gets caught up in a life and death struggle by mistake.

    Part 3 - Genesis 20:1-18 – LIE LIKE THE DEVIL OR…? She is 90 years old, BEAUTIFUL. SARAH catches your attention. The perfect Hollywood star, aging gracefully and looking years younger without the use of LIPOSUCTION, HAIR COLOURING, BREAST IMPLANTS, FACELIFTS and all the rest, Sarah doesn’t even ...read more

    Abimelech, probably thinking that he can form an alliance with Abraham who is a wealthy man, decides to take Sarah into his harem. Abimelech may be the CO-STAR in this movie but he deserves the Oscar.

    Part 4 - Genesis 20:1-18 - BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT! I DIDN'T DO IT! "IT'S NOT MY FAULT! I DIDN'T DO IT!" I remember my protests fell on deaf ears and I was made to go to my room without dinner until I confessed. My mother insisted that it was me, probably because of the lie my sister told her.
