Doubting Abraham

The writer to the Hebrews gives us the definition in just a few simple words: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” [Heb 11:1] And then he goes on to list, one after another, the heroes of the faith. Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Samuel, ...read more

Forcing God’s Hand

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

This message looks at the account of someone who was given a promise by God that he would receive a great blessing. But he, along with his wife, took matters into their own hands, and tried to get ahead of God, leading to strife.

In our message this morning we’re going to focus on how we need to have patience when following the Lord. Hebrews is a book of the Bible that frequently talks about following God in faith, and we read that those who are patient will be able to “inherit the promises” (Hebrews 6:12). In Hebrews ...read more

Adonai Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 16, 2020

Freedom comes when I realize that I am not in charge of the universe … God is … and I let Him do His job and I do mine … which is to be an attentive and obedient servant of the Lord and Master of the universe.

Under Deuteronomic law, an indentured servant could choose to be a free man when his seven years of service were up or he could choose to stay and work for his master. If he loved his master and wanted to continue ...read more
