    Embarrassing Reruns

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 28, 2016
     | 4,071 views

    Sometimes when you've made the same dumb mistake again, you get a vague sense of déjà vu. That's what Abraham got when Abimelek rebuked him for lying about Sarah being his sister. Let's don't keep falling into the same sins!

    EMBARRASSING RERUNS Gen. 20:1-13,17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Abraham bought himself a fancy new computer and was showing it to Isaac one day. "Look at all the wonderful programs it has on it. And look at all the neat things it can do." 2. Isaac was impressed but a little concerned. "But, ...read more

    What Lies Beneath A Lie Series

    Today we will talk about lying. Our goal is to go beyond the obvious instruction that we should not lie. Our goal is to learn what our lies teach us about the condition of our hearts.

    Sermon Notes May 20, 2012 FBCam “What Lies Beneath a Lie?” Genesis 20:1-18 One of the many pieces of advice we received before our wedding was to save the top tier of your wedding cake and eat and eat it on your first anniversary. We had a tiny little freezer. For one full year, ...read more

    We are a long ways from the days of “Leave it to Beaver” and “The Brady Bunch”! What does God have to say to the “Modern Family”?

    Modern Family Pt. 1 – Give and Get I hate to be the bearer of bad news but “Leave it to Beaver” has left, Mayberry is a distant memory, and the Waltons have said, “goodnight!” The day we live is different. The climate has changed. This modern age has impacted and ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 20 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011
     | 2,919 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 20 1. And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and ...read more

    Pep talk! Genesis 20:7”Now return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die." “I have told them (Army men), don’t get killed, you kill the enemy so ...read more

    Prayer Like Abraham

    No matter what, do not compromise prayer! Chuck everything else to be consistent with God in prayer! Then God would testify Himself about you!

    Abraham prayed! Genesis 20:7 "Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours." It was ‘Parent’s meeting day’ at our Abide School, I ...read more

    Samson: The Final Chapter, Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 21, 2020
     | 4,693 views

    When these events took place, Samson was in trouble and he knew it. The final chapter of his life concludes with a very significant event. May we learn from Samson: trust God, but don't make the same mistakes he did!

    Introduction: When the events of this story took place, Samson is in the Philistine prison in Gaza (16:21); his head was shaved and he was bound in fetters of bronze (brass, KJV). He was sentenced to grind (grain?) in the prison house. Even worse, he was blind—the Philistines had put out his eyes ...read more

    We all make mistakes. None of us are perfect and that includes those in the bible. Those great men and women of faith did some remarkable things but they had their flaws too. Today we'll look at Abraham and Joshua and see how they are just like us.

    JUST LIKE US (part two) Recap: Last week we looked at the fact that although we all make mistakes it isn't easy to admit it. Sometimes we make the mistake of looking at celebrities in an elevated way that portrays them as larger than life and almost too perfect. Therefore we conclude that they ...read more

    Genesis Chapter Twenty Series

    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Mar 8, 2023

     | 1,303 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER TWENTY OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Abraham again presents Sarah as his sister because he fears for his life. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 20 Sarah is taken from Abraham by Abimelech, king of Gerar, whom God threatens with death, unless he restore ...read more

    Abraham: Same Lie, Different Country Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 22, 2021
     | 3,698 views

    Abraham and his household moved to another area. What happened when they met this new king looks very similar to something they had tried many years before. It didn't work in this new location, either.

    Introduction: After the events of Genesis 19, Abraham left Mamre/Hebron and journeyed southwest towards the Mediterranean Sea. He entered the land of the Philistines and settled at Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur. While there, he told the same lie about Sarah; only to a different king (compare this ...read more
