Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 13, 2010

Abram knew that things went haywire in Egypt and that he got it wrong. At this altar there is real indication of REPENTANCE as he CALLS UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. We don't have any recorded words of this prayer, but we see it his WORDS AND ACTIONS towards

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 14, 2010

I know people who want to mix the world with worship, but when Jesus said "You are the salt of the earth" (Matthew 5:13), He certainly wasn't referring to what happened to Lot's wife.

Part 2 - Genesis13:1-13 - DOUBLE AGENT CHRISTIANITY? - Double-mindedness Sydney! Market place of business opportunities, bright lights, wall to wall people.

Part 1 - Genesis 14:1-16 - Buzz Likeyou To The Rescue! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 15, 2010

Abram is no wimp. He quickly mobilizes "318 trained men who had been born into his household." (Genesis 14:14). The fact that they were trained means that Abram was always prepared for battle. I need that kind of preparedness.

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 16, 2010

"Paying tithes? That's UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW. It just doesn't apply today." Someone draws out Genesis 14:17-24 from it's holster like a Colt Peacemaker six-gun and recites "ABRAHAM PAID TITHES 500 YEARS BEFORE THE LAW!" but was it an imaginary gun?

Part 2 - Genesis 14:17-24 - TITHING WITHOUT A GUN HELD TO MY HEAD Most Television Preachers and many well known and Respected Pastors would all agree that TITHING IS FOR TODAY.

Don’t Look Back!

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 18, 2010

Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

Opening illustration: If a person sees a house on fire and does everything he can to rescue the occupants, he is heralded as a hero. And that’s the way it should be. Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more

The Best Is Yet To Be

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 21, 2010

Senior Adult Sunday 1989: God wants to bless us in our senior years and to give us "laughter". He can work through our mistakes and even make those into blessings. From crosses He makes resurrections.

They took stock of their finances, for example, and made sure that there would be enough for everyday life and for at least a few emergencies. ...read more

The Sodomite Is Not Gay

Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 21, 2009

Acting on homosexual impulses is sinful. God will judge all such sin, but He now offers deliverance to any who are willing to receive His grace. This is the message entrusted to each Christian, who is to deliver it in the world.

*Genesis 18:20, 21; 19:1-17* *The Sodomite is Not Gay* “The Lord said, ‘Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me.

The God Who Sees!

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2009

In the midst of her pain and despair, God intervened for Hagar. In her experience she got a personal revelation of God as the One who Sees. This is a good reminder for anyone who feels abandoned and forgotten by God.

Some of the mediations I conduct are for family conflict. It’s amazing the messes people get themselves into. ...read more

It's Everywhere Series

Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 20, 2010

Telling someone "God loves you" seems trite and meaningless. Too many people act as though that's his job. But I have respect the agnostics you say it's presumptuous to believe a Supreme Being would care about us. They get it. The idea that God would
