    Some vultures swooped down to eat the carcasses, but Abram chased them away" Notice there is ALWAYS SOMETHING OR SOMEONE WHO WILL TRY TO STOP YOU ENTERING INTO A COVENANT relationship with God, and you will have to refuse to let them.

    In my arrogance and indignation I have said in effect, "FORGET IT LORD, I'LL DO IT MYSELF!" GOD'S TIMETABLE IS OFTEN NOT MY TIMETABLE. It is not Him that needs to change.

    Part 1 - Genesis 16:1-6 - FORGET IT! I'LL DO IT MYSELF! I remember seeing some shorts to a movie once where a millionaire agrees to pay a couple a million dollars if the wife will sleep with him for one night. What would you do? The answer to that question tests your character. Impatience is ...read more

    This is a more in-depth study than the one we did in Genesis. It is only on chapter 1 of Exodus, and covers the period the Israelites were in captivity in Egypt.

    As the book of EXODUS begins, the Israelites are being held as slaves in Egypt. And when the time is ready for God to lead them out of Egypt, He calls a man named Moses to free them. EXODUS is a story of how God protected His people by breaking the chains to captivity they were held under. ...read more

    God wants us to follow Abram’s example of living by faith, holding loosely to the things of this world, the things that appear to give comfort and security and to act on what God promises even when our external circumstances appear to indicate that it’s n

    If you’ve been here for the last couple of sermons in this series you may remember that one of the things we noted in the account of Adam & Eve was that they were called to live by faith in God’s word alone.

     | 8,007 views

    As you realize that God has something better for you, as you remember he has chosen and called you, and as you rely on Him, you can dream His dream for your life.

    People generally go in the direction they aim, and they generally aim in the direction they dream, or imagine themselves going. Everyone needs a dream to follow, but God’s people need to follow a specific dream, and that is the dream that God has for them. I recall asking one little boy what he ...read more

    When we take action or make a decision but neglect the power of God, we are actually revealing our lack of faith.

    Getting ahead of God will bring troubles! If I asked the question, do you believe in an all powerful God? Many of us will raise our hands, wouldn’t we? But if I asked, do you always take action and make decisions based on your belief in an all powerful God? Not too many of us will raise our hands, ...read more
