     | 6,856 views

    This is part 32 in our series on the Book of Genesis. In this sermon we discuss chapter 18 when God and the two angels appeared to Abraham and spoke with him concerning God's promise and God's judgment of Sodom.

    Heavenly Visitors (Genesis part 32) Text: Genesis 18:1-15 By: Ken McKinley (Read Text) Now if you know your Bibles then you know that in the next chapter is the infamous Sodom and Gomorrah story – where those two wicked cities are destroyed.

    Of All The Options For A Sign, Why Did God Choose Circumcision?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 23, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 44,795 views

    God could have had Abraham put a tattoo on his arm or any one of a thousand other signs, but instead He chose the sign of circumcision? Why in the world? And, beyond that, what relevance does that have for Christians today?

    OF ALL THE POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR A SIGN TO THE ISRAELITES, WHY DID GOD CHOOSE CIRCUMCISION? The promise was a miraculous physical child that would be the father to a physical people, so the sign had to do with sex. - Genesis 17:4-13. - Notice in these verses all the physical signs: - v. 4 – ...read more

    A look at how and why we settle for less than God's best.

    WHY DO WE SO SELCOME SEE GOD DO GREAT THINGS? Often in our spiritual lives, we become content with second-best plans. - Genesis 17:16, 18. - Abraham had so come to accept his Plan B (having Ishmael by Sarah’s maidservant) that when God speaks of the fulfillment of His original great promise ...read more

    When We've Given Up On God Coming Through For Us

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,955 views

    As time passes by, we lose our hope that God is going to fulfill the promises He's made. This message looks at why God delays and how we can maintain solid faith in the face of the waiting.

    [This is a long outline that might be better suited to a Wednesday evening Bible study.] WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH AT GOD? We laugh because we’ve given up hope. - Genesis 18:11-12. - The way verse 12 is phrased makes it obvious that she once harbored real hope that this would happen. The problem is ...read more

    Will You Wait On God? Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,472 views

    Faith is tested when we must wait and continue to trust God even when the answer seems far away, or when our problems seem too great. Abraham's lack of an heir, and God's promise to work a miracle for Abraham provide a powerful example for us of waiting

    Sermon Notes April 22, 2012 FBCam Will You Wait on God? Genesis 17 We often equate FAITH with DECISIONS. Sometimes FAITH is about WAITING. Romans 4:9-12 describes Abraham as the “Father of our Faith.” When we consider Abraham’s faith, we normally consider his faith in ...read more

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    The old preachers used devices called types and the struggle between Ishmael and Isaac is a classic to represent the flesh and the Spirit battling.
