Abraham And Sarah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 17, 2024

October 19, 2024 Last week we concluded with God promising, again, to make Abram a great nation and then ratifying the covenant by walking through the carcasses – taking upon himself the consequences of a failed covenant. Which brings us to Genesis 16. It had been 10 years since God first ...read more
