    A Failure Of Faith Series

     | 14,689 views

    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

    Three Altars Of Abraham

     | 17,777 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

    When The Famine Hits Series

     | 10,277 views

    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

    Abraham: A Journey Of Faith - Mind The Speed Bumps Series

     | 6,782 views

    Don't rely on yourself to get through the speed bumps in life. Turn to the Lord and determine what is best for you to do spiritually speaking.

    Do you like to drive? Some people love it. Just give them a bag of sunflower seeds and they can drive forever—much to the chagrin of their family. I like driving except through parking lots. My stress level rises there because there are so many potential hazards like runaway shopping carts, ...read more

    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
     | 6,485 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

    based on 45 ratings
     | 9,096 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

    "Our Savior And Scarecrows: How To Fight Your Fears” Series

    Contributed by Perry Fowler on May 11, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,741 views

    God didn’t call Abraham to be the Father of Faith because He was a spiritual giant; quiet to contrary, He called Him because He was human, yet willing to be molded, melted, and changed. He wants to do the same for you.

    One of God’s staple, primary commands to His followers is simply: “Do not fear.” It is interesting but did you know that the phrase: “Do not fear or Fear not” occurs over 300 times in the Bible and in some translations it actually occurs 365 times—some say 1 for every day of the year. Here’s the ...read more

    Do you trust that God will make ALL things right if you surrender to His will? Do you have “righteous faith” … a faith based on your trust in a “righteous” God? Good!

    [This is part of a series on Reinhold Niebuhr's prayer "The Serenity Prayer" (long or full version). This sermon is based on the line, "trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will."] Abram and Lot stood on the ridge and looked out over the ...read more

    The Price Of A Weak Faith Series

    Abram gives us great insight into human nature and how sin causes us to stray. What we must take note of, especially today, is that we all can mess up, we can all stray away from God’s calling, but we don’t have to stay there.

    Introduction - 2023 has been led with “one purpose”: To know there is a God! -- Continuing our series, “Alpha and Omega”; examining the beginning to the end - Last week we saw several questions for ourselves related to calling of Abram • Do we follow God’s calling? • Do we take time to ...read more

    Having Confidence When We Are Fearful

    What do we do when the ugly little head of fear begins to creep into our lives? What is it that causes you fear? An example of Abram's life shows us what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

    Fear. Whether we want to admit it or not, fear is something that we have to wrestle with. The fear of standing on the ladder that's two stories high. Fear of a spider crawling on your skin. The fear of snakes. The fear of standing on a stage with the spotlight beaming on you. The fear of ...read more

    Go Thy Way: When Abram Went To Egypt Series

     | 3,526 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
