Hosting God

Contributed by Samuel M on Sep 26, 2024

On the outside, Abraham's tent was a small tent, but his heart inside was a big enough resting place to host the God of the universe. Abraham's heart hosted God, whom the entire universe itself is not sufficient to host.

Then the Lord appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. Genesis 18:1 On the outside, Abraham's tent was a small tent, but his heart inside was a big enough resting place to host the God of the universe. Abraham's heart ...read more

Perfect

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 26, 2024

Abraham And Sarah Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 17, 2024

Abram’s hands were not clean. Sarai’s hands were not clean. Hagar’s hands were not clean. This situation was never a part of God’s plan. It was the result of distrust. Period. Full stop. And yet…… God did not abandon the plan. He was committed to these people in spite of themselves.

October 19, 2024 Last week we concluded with God promising, again, to make Abram a great nation and then ratifying the covenant by walking through the carcasses – taking upon himself the consequences of a failed covenant. Which brings us to Genesis 16. It had been 10 years since God first ...read more

The Royal Lineage Of The Lord Jesus (Matthew 1:1-18)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 3, 2024

We tend to skip the list of names in the first verses of Matthew's gospel, but each name is there for a reason, and it is to show the royal line of the Lord Jesus Christ and HIs right to the throne of David as King and Messiah.

Matthew wastes no time in establishing his case to prove that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah and the heir to David's throne as the true king of Israel. His opening statement reads as follows: "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of ...read more

Bowed Himself To The Ground

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 22, 2025

When we see God, we will spontaneously do something, and this is worship. It could be a bowing down, singing, raising hands, or falling facedown. But it all starts by seeing God. When we see God, his holiness compels or makes us to do a reverential action which is called worship.

So Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground. Genesis 18:3 This is the first act or form of worship mentioned in the Bible. On seeing God, he immediately bowed ...read more

Achieving the impossible is regarded as overcoming significant challenges or succeeding in a particular objective that may be considered by most as unattainable.

Saint Francis of Assisi, an Italian mystic, poet and monk once remarked: “Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” Matthew 19:26 reminds us: “But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things ...read more
