    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 21 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011
     | 4,706 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 21 1. And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. 2 ...read more

    God chose that through Isaac and not Ishmael that Christ would be born.

    The Life of Abraham, Part 14: Isaac Shall Be Heir Genesis 21:8-21 Introduction The birth of Isaac was a time of great joy. But the birth of Isaac also would have important implications.

    Sermon # 8 - Rebuild The Altars Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 19, 2024
     | 1,351 views

    There were four altars that Abraham built at various times in his life, and each of them had a special significance. As we understand what these altars represented, may we too take time to rebuild those areas where we are still lacking.

    We read in Genesis 21:22, At that time Abimelech went with Phicol, the commander of his army, and said to Abraham, "God is with you in everything you do. (GNB) Here we find that Abimelech a king from a foreign nation came to meet with Abraham. In general when a king wants to meet someone, he ...read more

     | 1,637 views

    A few years after this, Abimelech visited Abraham, who had moved southward beyond his territory, and entered into an alliance of peace and friendship with him. This league was the first of which we have any record. A mutual oath confirmed it at Beer-sheba (Genesis 21:22-34).

    Tom lowe 1/5/2022 Abimelech, King of Gerar Abimelech means "my father a king" or "father of a king." This is the name of 5 biblical men; 4 were kings. Abimelech was the common name for Philistine kings, as the name "Pharaoh" is for Egyptian kings. Abimelech, the ...read more

    Bad Decisions #1 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024
     | 486 views

    Waiting in times of struggle (either because of our own bad choices or God’s timing) is the ultimate action of faith.

    What to eat, what to wear, who to respond to first, what to prioritize at work — each of us makes hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions each day. Some of these choices have larger consequences than others. For starters, who we choose to surround ourselves with, where we live, who we worship, ...read more
