    Sin And The Saint Of God Series

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Apr 15, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,574 views

    These verses before us today portray a horrible failure in the life of one of God’s choice servants. If you remember Abraham’s journey down into Egypt in Genesis 12:10-20, you will notice some similarities between this event and that one.

    Done as three monologues: fear compromises integrity, and a compromised integrity breeds more fear.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC July 13, 1986 Human beings are creatures plagued with fears and insecurities. That we have clearly established, that we talked about in certain ways last week. Of course we are a great deal more than that too. We are vastly more than a bundle of ...read more

    Part 2 - Genesis 20:1-18 - Scanning For A Trojan Horse! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 14, 2010
    based on 32 ratings
     | 5,327 views

    Genesis 20 in my Bible teaches me THAT BELIEVERS HAVE TROJAN HORSES. I knew that already from other parts of the Bible. Satan is the original HACKER and Adam and Eve fell for the Trojan Horse, installing unwanted data into the system.

    Part 2 - Genesis 20:1-18 - SCANNING FOR A TROJAN HORSE! TROJAN HORSE! It appears innocent enough, but it is a harmful piece of software that looks legitimate. It tricks people into loading the wrong things into their systems. It gives a hacker access to cause damage. Unless you have a good ...read more

    Part 3 - Genesis 20:1-18 - Lie Like The Devil? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 17, 2010
    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,376 views

    To me the real star in this soap opera scenario in Genesis 20 is not the beautiful 90 year old heroine. It’s not the big business tycoon with a LYING PROBLEM. It’s the UNDER-DOG who gets caught up in a life and death struggle by mistake.

    Part 3 - Genesis 20:1-18 – LIE LIKE THE DEVIL OR…? She is 90 years old, BEAUTIFUL. SARAH catches your attention. The perfect Hollywood star, aging gracefully and looking years younger without the use of LIPOSUCTION, HAIR COLOURING, BREAST IMPLANTS, FACELIFTS and all the rest, Sarah doesn’t even ...read more

    Abimelech, probably thinking that he can form an alliance with Abraham who is a wealthy man, decides to take Sarah into his harem. Abimelech may be the CO-STAR in this movie but he deserves the Oscar.

    Part 4 - Genesis 20:1-18 - BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT! I DIDN'T DO IT! "IT'S NOT MY FAULT! I DIDN'T DO IT!" I remember my protests fell on deaf ears and I was made to go to my room without dinner until I confessed. My mother insisted that it was me, probably because of the lie my sister told her.

    If we live by faith, there is no need to fear!

    Think about this for a moment: An all knowing God knew that man and woman would disobey Him but yet decided to create them anyway! If God is our Creator and knew that we would disobey Him, why did He create us? And isn’t it interesting that God reveals His powerful judgment on wickedness, like He ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 20 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011
     | 2,964 views

    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.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 20 1. And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and ...read more

    Abraham: Same Lie, Different Country Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 22, 2021
     | 3,800 views

    Abraham and his household moved to another area. What happened when they met this new king looks very similar to something they had tried many years before. It didn't work in this new location, either.

    Introduction: After the events of Genesis 19, Abraham left Mamre/Hebron and journeyed southwest towards the Mediterranean Sea. He entered the land of the Philistines and settled at Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur. While there, he told the same lie about Sarah; only to a different king (compare this ...read more

    In order to regain your integrity after it is lost, let God reveal your sin, rebuke you for it, and then restore you wholly and completely just like He did for Abraham.

    Every few years the U.S. Department of Defense publishes a short book called The Encyclopedia of Ethical Failure.

    Just Like Us (Part Two)

    We all make mistakes. None of us are perfect and that includes those in the bible. Those great men and women of faith did some remarkable things but they had their flaws too. Today we'll look at Abraham and Joshua and see how they are just like us.

    JUST LIKE US (part two) Recap: Last week we looked at the fact that although we all make mistakes it isn't easy to admit it. Sometimes we make the mistake of looking at celebrities in an elevated way that portrays them as larger than life and almost too perfect. Therefore we conclude that they ...read more
