    Using Abram & Hagar To Understand Reproductive Technology

    Scripture reminds us there is nothing new under the sun. And even though the way certain things are accomplished and the settings might change to some degree, most human dramas have not changed all that much since the earliest days of recorded history. One such desire that has been a constant ...read more

     | 5,279 views

    Do we need to help God out in the fulfillment of His promises to us by taking matters into our own hand?

    The Life of Abram, Part 7: The Ishmael Project Genesis 16:1-15 Introduction In the last lesson, Abram asked the LORD for a pledge of his promise of the land. The answer he had gotten seems discouraging, especially for one whose worldview does not extend past this life. For someone with a ...read more

    Part 15 focuses on the sin of Sarai and Hagar and Abram and specifically examines the application to us about waiting on God to fulfill His promise. He does not need our help in fulfilling His promises ... we are called simply to wait on Him.

    Discovering Genesis, Part 15 (The Tale of Two Families, Part 1) Genesis 16:1-16 Introduction - This morning, we saw the response of Abram to God in a two part phase - (v6) The Bible tells us 1) Abram believed then, 2) God credited righteousness - It is something that we have to see: God is ...read more

    The LORD had promised Abram and Sarai a child. After ten additional years, and no child, they decided to help God out. The results weren't exactly what they expected.

    Introduction: Genesis 15 has the story where Abram asked God a question after God had told him, “I am your shield and your exceedingly great reward (Gen. 15:1, paraphrased). Abram’s question was “What will You give me? I’m childless, and the only heir I have is Eliezer of Damascus (Gen 15:2, ...read more

    Abraham, Our Spiritual Father We continue to examine the story of Abraham, the father of the faithful. Our story today happens about 4,000 years from our day before Israel exits Egypt in Exodus – does that help you place our story? And even though Abraham lived so long ago, he remains vitally ...read more

    When we try to do things our way instead of relying on God's promises, we only make a mess of things.

    My dad was the king of shortcuts. While others stuck to the major roads, he took the back streets to avoid busy intersections throughout Tokyo where we lived.

     | 7,924 views

    Abram and Sarai are desperate for an heir. So desperate, in fact, that they are willing to try anything...and, do. As life spins out of control the impact of their poor choices affects more than just their own relationship. But, God shows up as a searching and seeking God.

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed, And Faithful People are Tested. Text: Genesis 16: 1-16 16 Sarai, Abram’s wife, hadn’t yet produced a child. She had an Egyptian maid named Hagar. Sarai said to Abram, “God has not seen fit to let me have a child. Sleep with my maid. Maybe I can ...read more

    In this section from the story of Abraham, we see that he and Sarah got ahead of God and tried to force God to bring an heir through Hagar. There are a lot of important lessons for us to learn from this episode.

    Introduction: A. One day there was a man who was taking it easy, lying on the grass, looking up at the clouds, and having a conversation with God 1. The man said, “God, how long is a million years to you?” a. God answered, “In my frame of reference, a million years is about a minute.” 2. The man ...read more
