    (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 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

    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

    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,904 views

    Genesis 18:1-2 (NLT) mysteriously speaks of 3 men who visit Abraham. WHO ARE THESE MASKED MEN? (OK, so they are not wearing literal masks but their real identities are masked from us. Who are they?)

    Part 3 – Genesis 18:1-15 – WHO WERE THOSE MASKED MEN, ANYWAY? Some of you would have no idea of who I am talking about when I speak of the LONE RANGER. He is way before your time and he doesn’t fit into our culture anymore. Pity. He had a strict moral code and even the actor, ...read more

    So why did they stop off at Abraham's place first? Just passing by, saw your light on and thought we would drop in? Lord, let me have that kind of light, but what was the point of eating a meal with Abraham and then going on?

    Part 4 - Genesis 18:16-30 - JUST PASSING BY AND SAW YOUR LIGHT ON ... He slipped away into eternity peacefully the other day as we stood by his bed. The family and I held hands and prayed as an old man who loved the Lord and loved his family was in that moment absent from the body and present with ...read more

    I can wager all my GOOD WORKS against the WORK OF CHRIST on the Cross. Even when my chips are down I can throw the DICE OF DEATH on the chance that I will win.

    Part 5 - Genesis 18:16-33 - THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL! A person recently said to me as they were dying that the Bible was just a series of myths and stories, and if I want to, I can choose to live my life assuming that it is. I can choose to treat heaven like a GAME OF CHANCE and the Bible as ...read more

    In Genesis 18:22 there is still HOPE for Sodom as Abraham stands in the gap. God's righteousness as well as His justice walked towards Sodom that day while His grace conversed with Abraham.

    Part 6 - Genesis 18:16-33 - CRASHED AND BURNED! CRASHED AND BURNED! All my computer files from the last 10 years gone! No full back-ups so no way of retrieving it all.

    I am all too ready to say that the TALIBAN deserve God's judgment without really thinking twice. I tend to think of them in the same way that I think about SODOM AND GOMORRAH. But did Sodom and Gomorrah really deserve to be judged? Does the Taliban?
