    To often, we only look at this passage of Scripture as an illustration of God’s judgement on sin. When we look a little closer, we find an example of one of the greatest missionary hearts ever found in the Bible!

    Does one bad apple really spoil the bunch? Can one good apple redeem the bad bunch?

    There is in our culture an ancient yet conventional piece of wisdom. It is so ancient that it was part of the teachings of ancient Israel, but it is so conventional, that it was taught to all of us by our grade school and Sunday school teachers. Our 3rd grade teacher probably put it to us as ...read more

    What would you do if God came to dinner? Abraham gives his best to the Lord and receives fellowship, promise, and plans for the future in return.

    Two things are accomplished in this chapter - a visit from God Himself for two reasons: blessings and judgment. God is reminding Abraham - and especially Sarah - of the promised son, and to engage Abraham in a discussion about judging sin. It teaches about God’s character and intercession. Verse ...read more

    We live in perilous & prosperous times. We have every modern convenience and an abundance of leisure time. We live amongst cities like Sodom and Gomorrah. We profit by living in the shadow of their wickedness. Are we just Negotiating with God?

    Negotiating with God The title for this mornings message is Negotiating with God. I must admit straight out that I am not a great negotiator.

    From our earliest memories of kneeling by the bed and saying, “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

    (1) In prayer, we are engaging an active God who respond. (2) In prayer, do not limit the way God respond to you; and (3) in prayer, God converse with you as His friend.

    [I’ve take most thoughts in this sermon from John White’s book People in Prayer.] Last week we look at one of God’s promise when a person prays: • Heb 11:6 “...anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” • God gives us a promise, that if ...read more
