    Circumcision was the "trade mark" of the Old Covenant. But what difference could that make to us? We're no longer commanded to be circumcised as they were back then.

    Back in the 1990s, Reader’s Digest told the story of a soldier who was serving as a guard through the night.

     | 1,774 views

    Do you believe that God is faithful? Do you believe that he will work all things out? Because he certainly will. He is our provider. And from his bounty, we are fed. But many times in life we try to feed ourselves from our own bounty, as we wait on God’s promises to come true.

    The story of Hagar and the birth of Ishmael teaches us about what happens when we stop waiting on God. Our man-made plans will go astray. We need to seek God in all that we do.

    Time flies when you are having fun. Time does not fly when you are waiting on God’s promise. When you are waiting on God weeks can seem like years. Waiting on God can be one of the most challenging times. The temptation to step in and take control of the circumstances is great. It also causes ...read more

    Is Anything Too Difficult For God? Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 25, 2022
     | 4,032 views

    Abraham and Sarah must trust God. Maybe you have been praying for years for someone or something. Remember: He is El Shaddai. He is God Almighty. Nothing is too difficult for God. When our situation grows more impossible God shows himself almighty.

    There is a philosophical question that some ask about God. When claim nothing is too difficult for God they ask, can God make a rock so big he cannot lift it? No. The philosopher thinks he has somehow outsmarted God. But also, God is so holy he cannot lie. God cannot act outside his own nature ...read more

    We read in the Scriptures of how God changed the names of some persons (such as Abram, Jacob and Peter). This change of name indicated God’s special purpose for them. He will give us a new name also. The new name will reflect our character.
