The Tenses Of Faith

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Apr 12, 2021

There are three tenses to our relationship with God. The three tenses are past, present, and future. Each one reflects a different aspect of our relationship with God.

The Tenses of Faith "I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3)." We live in an age of immediate gratification. We are conditioned to be high on expectations, but short on patience. I ...read more

"Walk It Out”

Contributed by Sean Dees on May 3, 2021

Is there anybody ready to “Walk it Out”; Ready to go into the unknown…your destiny… into a deeper level of God’s presence/anointing/blessings. Ready to walk away from distractions and hindrances, ready to leave your comfort zone and people that have been weighing you down.

I. Unlikely Choice A. Here in Genesis 12 marks what many critical scholars call the “beginning of the redemptive drama of the restoration of humanity to our original purpose and divine intention” or as I like to call it a “turning point for man”. (Optional) 1. When you read the opening ...read more

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

Contributed by Perry Fowler on May 11, 2022

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

The Call Of Abraham Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 23, 2022

An understanding the call of Abraham and the promise fulfilled is important to understanding the purpose of God in history. The culmination is in the fulness of time with coming of our Saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus came to make atonement the just for the unjust to bring us to God.

In Genesis chapter 12 God is dealing with a specific group of people. This is a change of emphasis. Genesis Chapters 1-11 God is dealing with man in general. God is the father of all mankind through Adam and though Noah. Because God is calling the descendants of Abraham and Israel to be set ...read more

His Time, His Way, His Power

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Jun 7, 2022

God understands us we think, until a roadblock, appears in our pathway. We can then begin to question ourselves and God. Did He really say this, is it for me? This sermon helps us know His Time, His Way, His Power.

His Time. His Way, His Power Genesis 18:10-14 Then the LORD said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.

You, The Gospel & Jewish People Ii Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 18, 2022

The Jews are definitely hardened to the Gospel, even yet today. How should we relate to them in light of their general rejection and hostility to the Gospel? Have they been rejected by God forever?

When I first became convinced that Jewish outreach was to be a priority, I made a point of meeting some Jewish people at a Christians United for Israel dinner here in Israel. I met a relatively young Jewish medical doctor there and then a week or so later, boldly called him up at his practice to ...read more
