From Famine To Feasting

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Sep 8, 2014

Reactions To Famine Time Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Mar 5, 2013

God is beginning to break the hearts and stir the consciences of Jacob and his sons. While still in the middle of the famine, we can learn much from their wrong reactions to the famine and the sin that was a very real part of their lives

INTRO: Last week, we saw that God was using the worldwide famine to awaken the seared consciences of the sons of Jacob.

Famine In The Promised Land Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Oct 26, 2009

When The Famine Hits Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Feb 18, 2016

When the famine hit Canaan, Abram looked to Egypt rather than to God. This sermon examines the problems we encounter when we turn to the world in our troubles rather than to God.

Do you have a worry box? It’s a mental box that we can place our worries in. This box can only hold so many worries, so as soon as one disappears, we fill it with another. If a bigger worry comes along, we discard the smaller worries to make room for it. These worry don’t vanish. They ...read more

Whether Feast Or Famine Series

Contributed by John Huyser on Sep 10, 2024

Submitting To God In Times Of Famine

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Jul 3, 2020

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 25, 2020
