    Breaking old habits

    A. INTRODUCTION: BREAKING OLD HABITS 1. Why is it hard to teach old dogs new tricks? Because old dogs go back to old habits. “As a pig returns to it squalor” (2 Peter 2:22, ELT).

    Prayer Like Abraham

    No matter what, do not compromise prayer! Chuck everything else to be consistent with God in prayer! Then God would testify Himself about you!

    Abraham prayed! Genesis 20:7 "Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours." It was ‘Parent’s meeting day’ at our Abide School, I ...read more

    Old Habits Are Hard To Break Series

    In this sermon, we witness Abraham falling back into the same sinful pattern of lying and we are forced to wrestle with our own struggle against sinful habits that are hard to break.

    Introduction: A. Several elderly nuns were on the second floor of their convent one night when a fire broke out. 1. When the nuns realized the fire was blocking the exit, they took their habits off, tied them together to make a rope, and climbed out the window. 2. After they were safely on the ...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. The book is filled with case studies of government employees acting badly, and it's used to train new government workers how not to behave on the job. Recently, one case study focused ...read more

    Abraham must receive reconciliation with his neighbors.

    • Mistakes happen to everyone. • In 1980 a book intitled “The Book of Blunders” was published. • Here are three examples of the blunders this book recorded. • When a drum major tossed his baton in Ventura, California, it hit two 4000-volt power lines, blacking ...read more

    How good a witness was Abraham to the pagans? How well do we witness?

    The Life of Abraham, Part 12: Abraham’s Witness to Abimelech Genesis 20:1-18 Introduction Last week we learned of the terrible destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah for their gross wickedness. From the destruction, the LORD graciously delivered Lot and his two daughters. The ...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

    Outrageous Grace Series

    God shows outrageous grace to sinners who continually mess up. His blessings are so undeserved.

    At first glance Chapter 20 of Genesis seems about as useful as a snowmobile in the jungle. It’s pretty much an instant replay of what happened in Egypt in chapter 12. But this relatively short chapter is put here for a reason. Abraham and Sarah are going to have to deal with this repetitive ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 20 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011
     | 3,186 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

    Embarrassing Reruns

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 28, 2016
     | 4,334 views

    Sometimes when you've made the same dumb mistake again, you get a vague sense of déjà vu. That's what Abraham got when Abimelek rebuked him for lying about Sarah being his sister. Let's don't keep falling into the same sins!

    EMBARRASSING RERUNS Gen. 20:1-13,17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Abraham bought himself a fancy new computer and was showing it to Isaac one day. "Look at all the wonderful programs it has on it. And look at all the neat things it can do." 2. Isaac was impressed but a little concerned. "But, ...read more

    Do you know who prayed the first prayer of healing for others in the Bible?

    Do you know who prayed the first prayer of healing for others in the Bible? Genesis 20:17-18 17) So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. 18) For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because ...read more

    A Gracious Act And An Ungrateful Recipient

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 16, 2022
     | 2,275 views

    The miracle of the healing of the lame man in John 5:1-17 was a demonstration not only of the power of the Lord Jesus but was also an example of the grace of God that too many people take for granted.

    The Scriptures contain numerous accounts of the healing power of God. He has the power, grace, and mercy that is HIs Holy character. He has the authority to grant the restoration of health to anyone He sovereignly chooses. Scripture tells of health being restored to people through intercession ...read more

    Genesis Chapter Twenty Series

    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Mar 8, 2023

     | 1,787 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER TWENTY OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Abraham again presents Sarah as his sister because he fears for his life. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 20 Sarah is taken from Abraham by Abimelech, king of Gerar, whom God threatens with death, unless he restore ...read more
