Unusual And Unstoppable Prayer

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 22, 2020

Keep on asking God to keep His Word, counting on Him to work in unusual and unstoppable ways.

Mark Ashton, in his book, A Voice in the Wilderness, talks about a small boy who was writing a letter to God. Christmas was approaching and he wanted to ask God for certain Christmas presents he badly wanted. He began his letter with these words: “I've been good for six months now.” But then ...read more

Isaac: A Picture Of Jesus And A Picture Of Sinners

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 30, 2021

In some ways Isaac is a picture of Christ. As you read, think about what Isaac has in common with Christ. In other ways Isaac represents us as sinners. What does Isaac have in common with every sinner?


Genesis 22:1-19 Verse 1 …God tempted Abraham and said to him, “Abraham.” Abraham said, “Here I am.” “Tempt” means to test, try, prove 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ...read more

Knowing God As Jehovah Jireh

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

In addition to being a symbolic parallel with the crucifixion account of Christ; Genesis chapter 22 shares an example of walking in faith and obedience to God, and experiencing the Lord’s provision in our lives as a result.

I have entitled our message this morning, “Knowing God as Jehovah Jireh,” and I wish to look at our passage of Scripture in a practical way. First off, I want to say that I am well-aware of the symbolism that parallels the crucifixion account of Christ; however, there is more to this passage than ...read more

A Foreshadowing Sacrifice Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Good Friday: God knew ahead of time that He would – and must – sacrifice His one and only Son in order to atone for the sins that separate people from Him. In Genesis chapter 22, we see a glimpse into the future of God’s plan of salvation.

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “A Foreshadowing Sacrifice,” which indicates that we’re going to be looking at something foretold long before it happened. I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing something out of the book of Acts. In Acts 8:31-35, we find the account of Philip ...read more

Isaac: The Child Of The Promise Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 30, 2022

Isaac is portrayed throughout his life as a man of faith like his father. When we read the account of Mount Moriah we do not specifically read the reaction of Isaac. But we get the idea. If Abraham is trusting God with this, then so would his son Isaac.

Abraham was a man of faith. God spoke to Abraham on numerous occasions. Five times in Genesis records Abraham building an altar to God. The Altar at Bethel The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to ...read more
