    When we think small we limit God, there’s nothing He can’t do for you. Open the possiblities with this message.

    Gen 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. KJV Num 11:23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’s hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or ...read more

    Laughing Away The Burdens

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 17,405 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

    Three privileges of being a friend of God.

    “The Privileges of Friendship with God” Genesis 18:1-33 To say that Abraham was God’s friend meant that he was a human being to whom the God of the universe felt close, whom he regarded highly, and with whom He wanted to share some of His intimate thoughts. That God was Abraham’s friend we can ...read more

    God's Mercy Revealed In Sodom Series

    based on 56 ratings
     | 14,031 views

    God extends mercy before judgment becomes the only option. It is only after the church turns away and the world rejects mercy that God judges. Sodom reveals the picture of God’s deep mercy.

    God’s Mercy Revealed in Sodom Genesis 18: 17 And the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, ... 20 And the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, 21 "I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether ...read more

    Wouldn’t you agree with me, that it is a great tragedy to sit idle in our little Christian box and let people die in sin and go to Hell without an attempt to rescue them?

    SOUL SEARCHING Gen 18:16-33 16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a ...read more

    Characteristics of a man God blesses and uses

    Using Abraham as an example of demonstrating love to newcomers to the church in practical ways. This sermon prepared us for our Friendship Sunday the following week.

    Last week our focus was on how we can live out the second of the Great Commandments, to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Our particular focus was on demonstrating love to those who are not yet Christian or who may be Christian but are unchurched, they are not connected to Christ’s body the ...read more

    A meditation on Biblical themes joined by the word laughter.

    I had a terrible thing happen a few weeks ago when I was taking a service in a wee church (that shall remain nameless) in the country. I had got to that stage in the service where I was leading people in the prayers of confession and as I was just about to finish a particularly sombre bit about ...read more

    Encouraging the church to love our neighbor by our hospitality to guests using Abraham as an model.

    Practical Exercise during worship: After singing have congregation greet at least two people they do not know, or have not greeted in a long time (hint: encourage them to get out of their pews if they have to). Give extra time for this. Last week our focus was on how we can live out the second ...read more

    A description of how Abram walked with God and God’s response back to Him.

    The Joys Of Walking With God Genesis 17 Today’s society thrives on big events, speed, noise, movement, and drama. But it is not hyperactivity that troubles us - it’s quietness. Solitude is often considered boring, a waste of time. Mistakenly, we suppose that walking with God is a quick, ...read more

    The Covenant Genesis 17:1-27 Introduction An overriding theme throughout the scriptures is that of covenant. The term covenant, as it is used in the Bible, describes how God relates to man. The theme of covenant runs from the Genesis to Revelation. In fact, one could say that at the heart ...read more

    (1) In prayer, we are engaging an active God who respond. (2) In prayer, do not limit the way God respond to you; and (3) in prayer, God converse with you as His friend.

    [I’ve take most thoughts in this sermon from John White’s book People in Prayer.] Last week we look at one of God’s promise when a person prays: • Heb 11:6 “...anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” • God gives us a promise, that if ...read more

    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
