    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 4, 2007
    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,442 views

    Because of Sodom and Gomorrah’s’ unrighteousness the Lord didn’t have to share His plan with anyone, but He chooses to allow Abraham His friend to know about His planned destruction for the disobedient!

    This is Warfare! Text: Genesis 18: 22-33 22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD. 23 And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would ...read more

    A simple introduction to prayer for a Church that didn’t pray together

    Genesis 18:23-33 Luke 11:1-13 You know I hear more comments about how difficult it is to pray or how confusing it is that God sometimes seems to answer and other times doesn’t or how God doesn’t really hear us or how nothing really changes because of our prayers. So I figure we need some teaching ...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

    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

    A Father Used By God

     | 7,068 views

    This is a Father’s Day sermon based up Abraham, and why God called him to be the "father" of the nation of Israel.

    Gen. 18:19 A Father Used by God Intro: Today is "Father’s day". A day in which we want to honor someone very special. Today, I would like for us to look at one of the main fathers in the entire Bible. He is an O.T. character who due to his faith the entire world received a blessing (the ...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

     | 14,636 views

    A sermon on intercessory prayer based on Abraham’s pleas to save Sodom.

    The “If” of Intercession Gen. 18:16-33 INTRO.: The little conjunction “if” appears 1784 times in the New International Version of the Bible. In the NT, 653 times. It’s a little word that has very big meaning in many passages. I saw a neat MetLife commercial offering insurance to help handle all the ...read more

    Characteristics of a man God blesses and uses

    Abraham’s life consisted of five characteristics that made him a man that God blessed and used... 1. God’s Kind of Man is COMMITTED (v. 19a) 2. God’s Kind of Man is the CHIEF (v. 19b) 3. God’s Kind of Man is CONSECRATED (v. 19c) 4. God’s Kind of Man is COURAGEOUS (v. 22) 5. God’s Kind of Man ...read more

    Pleading For Sodom

    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,658 views

    As Christians, we are responsible to pray for wicked people. Though their actions invoke divine censure, our responsibility is to pray for God’s glory through turning the wicked to righteousness.

    “The men set out from [the oaks of Mamre where Abraham had set up his tent], and they looked down toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way. The Lord said, ‘Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, ...read more

    Today, we make our one singular choice to Follow God’s Way, with the resources that God has placed in our care, and to be good stewards of those resources.

    Deal or No Deal: The Choice Is Yours It’s Not My Treasure, It’s His! Last week, we began a new sermon series entitled Deal or No Deal? The Choice is Yours!

    Can I Be Honest To God?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 6, 2009

     | 4,300 views

    A look at the invitation (and the need) for us to be bold and honest in our talking with God.

    Is it ok to question God? - The presumption is usually that the answer is “no.” - Just sit down and shut up. Just take it. - When you hear people pray, a lot of the praying is very rote and formulaic. It’s pretty rare that you’ll hear someone really bearing their heart to God. It’s even ...read more

    Lot - The Struggle Of Righteousness

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Mar 19, 2009
     | 6,060 views

    The stories in Genesis present Lot in a very negative light, but Peter and Abraham thought he was righteous. It is a time for adjusting our interpretation.

    Lot – The struggle of righteousness Genesis 18:16-33 This is a classic passage because it depicts something that we somehow know we should not do, bargaining with God. Abraham, out of concern for his nephew Lot, in an episode that sounds like an auction, begs God to be merciful. Five times, ...read more
