    Abraham’s lack of faith in God’s care for him leads him to sin

    We started out this series on the life of Abraham using the illustration of the “trust walk.” A “trust walk” is a game we played at camp where we’d have kids partner up, blind-fold each other, and lead their blind-folded partners on a trust walk through the woods. Abraham began his trust-walk ...read more

    Prayer is a wonderful thing. But prayer is not just to be used to get us out of trouble; it is to be used to keep us from getting in trouble.

    Abraham in Gerar. Genesis 20. 01/19/05 We find in our text another great failure on the part of Abraham. Actually, this is the third major failure of Abraham recorded in scripture after he came into the land of Canaan. The first of these failures was his lie in Egypt that Sarah was his ...read more

    Would I Lie To You? (Abraham On Honesty And Lying)

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 3, 2006
    based on 48 ratings
     | 9,312 views

    This passage uses Abraham’s deception as a chance to look at why we fudge the truth so often and what the consequences of our lies are.

    - Lies are a common part of our everyday lives. In fact, some of us believe that we can’t function in society without telling our share of “little white lies.” - Abraham here demonstrates aptly for us both the reasons we lie and the consequences of our untruths. WHY WE LIE: 1. We get stuck in ...read more

    In this message, we learn how even evangelicals can be guilty of violating the 2nd commandment. When we do, we minimize God and magnify our problems.

    The war on terrorism. The impending attack on Iraq. An economy that can’t quite seem to get back on track. How are you handling the uncertainty of all that? Add this to the typical stresses in life. Problems with relationships at home, work, or school. A fear of not getting the job done ...read more

    We make assumptions and form opinions about things every day. From these assumptions we take action and make decisions. But - what if our assumptions are wrong?

    God’s grace is still faithful even though we continue to sin.

    Rules for retarding you spiritual progress.

    Intro: 1. A classic work many of us have read is called "Pilgrims Progress," but if truth be know, it could have a companion work rightly entitled, "Pilgrims Regress!" 2. Abraham was a great man of faith, who at times makes great progress; but there is also the flip side of the story, he also makes ...read more

    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

    Our country was founded on some great principles. Those principles were so great that we made them into a constitution to live and govern by and many if not most of our laws are based from them. But our country has gotten away from using those principles, now we call them rules! But these rules go ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 20 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011

    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

    We are a long ways from the days of “Leave it to Beaver” and “The Brady Bunch”! What does God have to say to the “Modern Family”?

    Modern Family Pt. 1 – Give and Get I hate to be the bearer of bad news but “Leave it to Beaver” has left, Mayberry is a distant memory, and the Waltons have said, “goodnight!” The day we live is different. The climate has changed. This modern age has impacted and ...read more
