  • Laughing Away The Burdens

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 17,178 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

    Three privileges of being a friend of God.

    “The Privileges of Friendship with God” Genesis 18:1-33 To say that Abraham was God’s friend meant that he was a human being to whom the God of the universe felt close, whom he regarded highly, and with whom He wanted to share some of His intimate thoughts. That God was Abraham’s friend we can ...read more

    Does God only care about those in the limelight, the Sarahs? Or does he also care about the "second bests," the Hagars?

  • Blessing, Division, And Vision Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Feb 24, 2001
    based on 64 ratings
     | 8,750 views

    God blesses when we get behind the vision He ordains. Division threatens to side track the church from His vision. This sermon looks at the importance of seeking unity, but not at the cost of the vision God calls us to follow.

    Blessing, Division, and Vision Genesis 13: 1 Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had ...read more

    Sarah’s laughter at being promised a son in her old age.

    They say, “Laughter is the best medicine.” When was the last time you had a good laugh? I’ve had a little more time to think about this question, so I’ll share my answer. Earlier in the week we had a little evening picnic with some friends and at times laughed our heads off. I don’t even ...read more

    the faithfulness of Abraham in his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac.

    Have you ever had your love tested? The true love test comes when the person closest to you says “If you truly love me, you’ll…” You’ll buy me that 3-carat diamond ring. You’ll give up smoking.

    How Abraham’s trials in Egypt led him to wisdom in Canaan

    “Most lessons in life are learned the hard way.” You can be warned and taught about a danger or encouraged to do the right thing, but personal failure can be the most powerful teacher. When I went out to buy my first car, I was warned by my parents to be very careful, to shop around, to research, ...read more

    based on 59 ratings
     | 7,358 views

    Abraham’s lack of faith in God’s care for him leads him to sin

    We started out this series on the life of Abraham using the illustration of the “trust walk.” A “trust walk” is a game we played at camp where we’d have kids partner up, blind-fold each other, and lead their blind-folded partners on a trust walk through the woods. Abraham began his trust-walk ...read more

     | 20,956 views

    Rev. Fair speaks of our needs to look to Jesus: Look full in his wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim. In the light of his glory and grace.

    HOW FAR CAN YOU SEE THIS MORNING? Genesis 13:14 “And the Lord said unto Abraham after that Lot was separated from him, lift up now thine eyes and look from the place where thou art”. INTRODUCTION What we are and what we may become depends in a large measure upon what we can see, and what ...read more

  • Who Is Melchizedek? Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Mar 10, 2001
    based on 97 ratings
     | 12,195 views

    Melchizedek seems like a mysterious figure in Genesis as he makes a brief appearance and then disappears until the New Testament. This sermon looks at the communion of Christ foreshadowed in Genesis.

    Who is Melchizedek? Genesis chapter 14 begins by detailing how the five cities of the plains rebelled against the king of Elam. We aren’t given the prior history except that these cities served this king and paid tribute to prevent being destroyed. It was not uncommon in those days for a defeated ...read more

    The smoking pot, flaming torch and God’s covenant with Himself that benefited Abraham is a reflection of our covenant of grace. This sermon looks at the promise that is not dependent upon us, but on God’s grace.

I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer ...read more

    The smoking pot, flaming torch and God’s covenant with Himself that benefited Abraham is a reflection of our covenant of grace. This sermon looks at the promise that is not dependent upon us, but on God’s grace.

    The Covenant of Grace 3. The Covenant Look again at our passage in Genesis 15: 8 And he said, "Lord GOD, how shall I know that I will inherit it?" 9 So He said to him, "Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon." 10 Then ...read more

  • The Heartbeat Of God

    Contributed by Greg Waddell on Mar 12, 2001
    based on 155 ratings
     | 21,237 views

    God’s missionary perspective throughout history challenges us to ask the question: Are we in tune with the heartbeat of God?

    THE HEARTBEAT OF GOD In the church we have many clichés and buzzwords. We have used these phrases so often they have become commonplace. They still have their intellectual meaning, but they have lost their psychological impact. If you have been in the church for any time at all, you have heard ...read more
