    Three Altars Of Abraham

    Contributed by Mike Hullah on Dec 20, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 18,154 views

    Every day we must set aside time to come to our personal altar where we read His word, worship Him in song and pray. Here we will encounter Him afresh and He will teach us His ways. If we don’t have such a time we must build it now!

    THE THREE ALTARS OF ABRAHAM (Putting God First) Book Ezra: Altar, Temple and Walls – Remnant People Genesis 12:1-18 INTRODUCTION: True worship takes place in the context of obedience to God (Genesis 12:1-5) - not merely a feeling or a form. For Abraham it was in the process of obeying ...read more

    A Father's Day sermon that examines Abraham's fatal decision to betray his wife out of fear of Pharaoh, and the consequences of the "faltering faith" of this otherwise great man of faith.

    Abraham hits a speed bump on the road to God's blessing.

    The Life of Abraham, Part 2: The Egyptian Detour Genesis 12:10-20 Introduction In the last episode we saw Abram and Sarai on the backside of the wilderness trying to scratch out a meager living and I think wondering about they had understood God correctly.

    Part 1 - Genesis 12:1-20 - Ok, He’s Dead! What Have I Inherited? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 9, 2010
    based on 30 ratings
     | 6,577 views

    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

    Part 3 - Genesis 12:10 - 20 - This Service Has Been Disconnected Series

    based on 45 ratings
     | 9,184 views

    In Genesis 12:10 in lean times, "Abram went down to Egypt". There is no mention of Abram calling out to God. He's a business man. He just makes a logical decision, but it is decision that is devoid of the promises God gave him. DISCONNECTION big time!

    PART 3 - GENESIS 12:10 - 20 - THIS SERVICE HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. PLEASE TRY ANOTHER NUMBER. We were standing in line to go into Church. It was a long line and we had to wait for some time for the doors to be opened. Although the auditorium seated 1,500 people, some people would have to come to ...read more

    This message reveals the terrible consequences of fear in our lives and the great need we have to evict it with faith in God's promises.

    In the famous American classic “the Red Badge of Courage” which takes place during the American Civil War, a young soldier is drilling and preparing with his regiment to go into battle. Days and weeks pass and just drilling. Finally, the day comes when they go marching out. He’s ...read more

    Sermon number 24 in our series on the Book of Genesis. In this sermon we examine the developing faith of Abraham.

    Faith in the Famine (Genesis part 24) Text: Genesis 12:10 – 20 By: Ken McKinley (Read Text) The very first sentence of our text tells us that while Abram was living in the Promised Land, a famine struck and he moved to Egypt to escape it.

    Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,406 views

    This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.

    Intro A major theme in Romans 4 is faith. Paul is aggressively contending for justification by faith alone. The issue we are currently addressing is the kind of faith Paul has in mind when he uses the word. We know from James 2 that some forms of faith are dead and worthless. We know from Jesus’s ...read more

    Sermon # 8 - El-Shaddai, Our Almighty God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 26, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,533 views

    God revealed Himself to Abraham as the El-Shaddai, God Almighty who can do wonders and miracles for those who trust in Him. The life of Abraham, Joseph, Paul will truly encourage us to trust this Almighty God and walk blamelessly before Him.

    We read in Genesis 17:1, When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the Almighty God. Obey me and always do what is right. (GNB) There is a specific reason why the word of God mentions that Abram was ninety-nine years old when the Lord appeared to him. When ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twelve. 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 TWELVE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Abram is called out to start a journey to the Promised Land. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 12 God commands Abram to depart from his country; promising him that a great nation shall spring from him, and that all the ...read more

    Go Thy Way: When Abram Went To Egypt Series

     | 3,629 views

    The phrase "go thy way" appears several times in the King James Version of the Bible. This first message speaks of Abram and how he got into trouble in a foreign land!

    Introduction: Even the best of God’s saints will face problems at one time or another. Abram had his share of troubles, too, and the passage below gives a few details of one episode which Abram would probably just as soon forget! When famine came, Abram left the land of promise and wound up in the ...read more
