    Trying to see one of today’s great political standoff from a Biblical position, this message presents a look at the Abrahamic covenant and why this ancient promise has such great influence on world politics 3000+ years later.

    Fourth in a six-part series on the life of faith as seen in the person of Abraham

    Shortcuts to God’s will are not worth taking. In chapter 16, we read that Abram and Sarai decided that enough was enough; perhaps God meant that Abram would have a son by another woman, since Sarai was barren, and so she gave her maiden Hagar to Abram. Hagar conceived and bore Ishmael to Abram; ...read more

    along with illumination brings human obligation. Abraham was given some practical instructions. In verse one we see that God says walk before me, and be thou perfect.

    Speaking with God. Genesis 17. 12/22/04 At least 14 years have elapsed in Abraham’s life since God was last recorded as speaking with him. During that time, Ishmael, Abraham’s son by Hagar had been born and grown to a boy of 13. Abraham and Sarah had grown to the age of 99 and 89 which made ...read more

    The Title “El-Roy” or the God who Sees was given to God by an Egyptian slave woman named Hagar. In Genesis 16:1-13 the familiar story of the tension between Hagar, Abraham’s servant, and Sarah, has all the ingredients of a modern day Hollywood soapie.
