    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

    No one is perfect. Even the greatest of Biblical characters are sinners. When Abraham faced the first crisis since deciding to walk with God, he defaulted to his old ways of falsehood rather than walking by faith.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a young boy who came home from practice all decked out in his baseball outfit. 1. Cheerfully, his mom asked him, “How did Little League go?” 2. The little boy growled, “Terrible! I struck out three times!” 3. Trying to console her son, his mom said, “That’s ...read more

    In beginning an interim pulpit ministry, God directed my attention to Abram/Abraham as a paradigm of faith. Some will object to the almost typological approach to these texts.

    Famine in the Promised Land Text: Genesis 12:1-20 Today, may or may not be the beginning of a journey together. But whether God allows me to stay with you over a long period of time or whether today is merely a temporary lesson for an eternal purpose, God has placed this message on my heart.

    Now Abraham is one of those guys we see a tremendous amount of faith.

     | 4,523 views

    Identity: Answers the question: ‘Who has God called you to be?’ Destiny: Answers the question: ‘What has God called you to do?’ So identity leads to destiny. Without knowing who you are, you cannot reach your destiny. Say “yes” to Jesus or you will lose your way.

    Many Biblical characters changed their destinies thru prayers. Destiny is never a product of laziness. Jacob sought his with tears & prayers. Hannah sought hers thru fasting. David achieved his thru flight & isolation. God never rewards lazy Christians.
