Choosing A Wife

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 9, 2014

How are we to handle decision making? Especially about important things like who to marry, or where to live, or what jobs to pursue? What comes first, Marriage or Love? How should we go about making those decisions?

Opening illustration: My conversation with a pastor friend in our local community while meeting him over lunch last winter. [Biblically marriage comes first then love … our culture has switched it around …] Introduction: God could have just directly communicated to Abraham – ...read more

The Spirit Of The Bride

Contributed by Thomas Custer on Jan 7, 2015

The true bride will always go beyond the minimal requirements. Rebekah gave the servant water but also volunteered to water the 10 camels as well. She was the chosen bride, not for doing the minimum, but for going beyond the expected.

Genesis 24 King James Version (KJV) 1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. 2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: 3 And I will make thee swear by ...read more

Experiencing Jehovah El Shaddai In The Place Of Prayer

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Jan 13, 2015

God is willing, ready and available to listen to us and answer us when we pray. Are you willing, ready and available to pray?

There is a God that answers prayers and His name is Jehovah El Shaddai. There is no prayer request that is too big, complex or complicated for Jehovah El Shaddai to handle. Neither is there any request that is too small, trivial, mundane or inconsequential for God not to give His attention to. ...read more

Rebekah – Woman Of Faith

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 14, 2021

Rebekah was a woman who walked with God and her life was guided by the Holy Spirit. This story mirrors the reality of the Holy Spirit being dispatched to go and find a chaste Bride and bring her to Christ. In a way, it’s a love story!

Abraham: A Final Look Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 3, 2021

The last years of Abraham's life have less coverage than his middle years, between leaving Ur and settling in Beersheba. Even so, several events happened, so let's take a last look at Abraham's live

Introduction: Abraham, like most Bible characters, had his high and low points. The highest point, arguably, would be the episode where he was commanded to offer Isaac as a burnt offering but was stopped before he actually did so (Genesis 22). The last years of Abraham’s life don’t have much ...read more

Unwavering Faith

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jun 15, 2021

Some Aspects Of The Church From Its Beginning – Types Of The Church Found In The Old Testament – Part 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 5, 2023

The Church universal is a New Testament concept revealed at the appropriate time, but it is special to see some types in the Old Testament that hint at the Church to come. These make interesting studies and parallels. Types always are satisfying to study.

We live in a world where “instant gratification” is the order of the day.

We live in a world where “ instant gratification” is the order of the day. We eat fast food , we want lightning speed internet and emojis have replaced letters or long text messages.

Genesis Chapter Twenty-Four Series

These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty-Four. 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-FOUR OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Abraham arranges for a suitable wife for Isaac. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 24 Abraham sends his eldest servant to his relations, to take a wife for his son Isaac. Rebekah meets the servant, who is ...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

Isaac: El Hijo De La Promesa Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 11, 2024

Resumen: Isaac es retratado a lo largo de su vida como un hombre de fe como su padre. Cuando leemos el relato del monte Moriah no leemos específicamente la reacción de Isaac, pero captamos la idea. Si Abraham confía en Dios con esto, entonces también lo haría su hijo Isaac.

Abraham era un hombre de fe. Dios le habló en numerosas ocasiones. Cinco veces en Génesis se registra que Abraham construyó un altar a Dios. El altar en Betel Allí el Señor se apareció a Abram y le dijo: «Yo daré esta tierra a tu descendencia». ...read more
