    Abraham received God’s promise but saw its fulfilment 25 years later. The long journey and wait saw his faith growing stronger and his understanding of God deepened.

    In Gen 12, God made a promise to Abraham, that • He will give Abraham a land – “the land I will show you” (12:1) • He will make him into a great nation; He will make his name great • He will be blessing, and become a blessing to others. The world will be blessed through him. Here we see the heart ...read more

    What do we do when the lights go out in our world? It’s simple: Don’t trust yourself; trust the Lord. Rely on His unfailing love. Rely on His unlimited power, and rely on His obedient Servant, Jesus Christ, who CHOSE to die for us.

    Vance Havner was one of my favorite preachers when I was growing up, because had a wonderful, witty way of putting things that really made you think.

     | 1,664 views

    Wilfulness is sin on a mission and Lot edged closer and closer. The world holds attractions for people, like the fishing spider that dangles a blob on the end of strands of web to allure its victims and pounces. Sodom was alluring Lot and about to pounce.

    LOT – PART 2 – A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR GOD – FOR ABRAHAM – AND FOR HIMSELF – GENESIS 13 – 14 - LOT IN SODOM INTRODUCTION We take up this account from where we left off last time.

    The presence of the Holy Spirit is the start of a new age. It points to the future, and it also points to courage, strength and power that we need to live as Christians in our sin-filled world.

    In the reading we heard from Galatians 3:1-14 a few minutes ago, the apostle Paul is chastising the Galatians in love for wandering away from the truth of God’s Word. He calls them foolish (or having a lack of wisdom) for living by the world’s rules instead of living by God’s ...read more

    Sermon # 45 - The Two Sons Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 20, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 106 views

    Abraham had two sons, one born according to the flesh and the other according to God’s promise. Both of them were in complete contrast to each other. It is not enough if we are born according to the flesh, because the Lord demands that we are born again through the Holy Spirit.

    For today’s meditation we will look at Galatians 4:22-23, “Scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one by a woman who was a slave and the other by a free woman. Now, the son of the slave woman was conceived in a natural way, but the son of the free woman was conceived through a promise [made to ...read more
