7.. Lord’s Prayer: Daily Bread Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Sep 17, 2024

Without food we die, our daily bread. But this food is for our wholeness in every aspect, food for life – food for body, yes AND food for our minds and our spirit. God, our Father gives us our daily bread, the bread of Life.

7.. Lord’s Prayer: Daily bread – Give us this day the bread of Life. Food is one of the most fundamental necessities for our existence; without it, life as we know it cannot be sustained. As children, we instinctively expect our parents to provide us with food. It is like an unspoken ...read more

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

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

How Is Suffering More Than A Curse?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 17, 2025

Saul was a very, very good Jew. He saw the emerging Church in the months after the first Pentecost as a threat on multiple levels.

Sixteenth Sunday in Course 2025 Let’s begin with a question that I believe every follower of Christ should ask, early or late in our discipleship: Am I proud to be a Christian? What does that even mean? “Proud to be a Christian.” We feel pride in our own accomplishments, that is the good ones. ...read more

Make The Most Of Our Visits With God

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 21, 2025

Abraham and Sarah, and Martha and Mary received the one thing they needed—God’s presence in their lives through his Word. Let’s ask God the Holy Spirit to do the same thing for us today and every day.

God came to visit them. In two of our Scripture readings for this Sunday two pairs of believers hosted God in their homes (well, to be exact one was a tent). Abraham and Sarah welcomed the LORD God who took on a human body to be able to visit them on a personal level. They heard God’s promises ...read more

Entertaining Angels - Genesis 18:1-15 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jul 24, 2021

Abraham and Sarah and then Hagar. That’s a challenge for all of them and we see how God deals with each person individually.

Please open your Bibles with me to Genesis 18. We’re going verse by verse through the book of Genesis. It’s a great trek for us to be wandering through Genesis and learning practical principles along the way. We come to this one section in Genesis 16-18 that’s about this fractured family.

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

Hospitality To A Stranger

Contributed by Malcolm Rogers on Apr 14, 2016

Principles to learn from Abraham. Eagerness to show hospitality; Abraham chose to offer hospitality; Hospitality with no strings attached; Disruptive hospitality; Hospitality that honours the guest.

Today we are looking at a story of hospitality shown to some strangers. This is a story that comes from a different world: a different place and a different time. About 4000 years ago in what we know as the west bank today. We would find it a far less ‘busy’ world than the one we live ...read more
