    Some criticize him for staying in Haran saying that he fell short of the promises of God, distracted by the attraction of wealth. I don’t think he was saying, OK, HE’S DEAD! WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? But he did stay in Haran until his father died.

    Part 1 - Genesis 12:1-20 (NASB) - OK, HE’S DEAD. WHAT HAVE I INHERITED? I understand the upheaval of moving to a different city. Packing endless boxes of books, dismantling beds and throwing out all the junk we have accumulated over time - big job. Then watching a huge truck back into our ...read more

    This is a sermon on more than forgiving other, and God forgiving us. It deals with the need of forgiving ourselves. We must forgive ourselves, so God can forgive us.

    Life is full of uncertainties. Solomon questions the meaning of life: who am I? why am I here? and where am I going? 3 questions we all ask at some point in our seemingly meaningless life.

    1 For I considered all this in my heart, (WHY?) so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything they see before them. 2 All things come alike to all: One (fate-event) happens to the righteous ...read more
