Abraham is a foundational figure in the Bible, known for his faith and obedience to God. However, like all human beings, he had moments of moral and character failure. These failures are significant because they highlight his humanity and God’s grace in working through flawed individuals.

The Plot & The Promise Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 18, 2005

Abraham and Sarah think they know best how to fulfill Gods promise. Doing things our way can have unintended consequences.

What happens when God doesnt move fast enough for us? Do we wait patiently or do we start thinking - "maybe I was supposed to do something." In the end we muck it up by inventing answers to prayers. Thats what happens to Abram and Sarai - and it almost ruins the family. Fortunately, God is in ...read more

Strength For The Long Journey Beyond The Pandemic

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 7, 2020

The Scriptures reveal that God spoke to Abraham only 7 or 8 times. Even though many people are constantly talking about how God is speaking to them every day, most of us do not hear from God that frequently. What do you do when God is silent?

Sarah Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 7, 2022

Sarah (originally named Sarai) was one of several Bible women in the Bible who were unable to have children. That proved doubly distressing for her because God had promised Abraham and Sarah they would have a son.

ABRAHAM AND SARAH Sarah Sarah, born Sarai, is a biblical matriarch and prophetess, a significant figure in Abrahamic religions. While different Abrahamic faiths portray her differently, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all depict her character similarly, as that of a pious woman, renowned for ...read more

God Has To Win Control Over All The Areas Of My Life Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Sep 25, 2020

I know that we do not give God that 100% control. So, I set out to find a Scriptural example of a man or a woman who did not give that control over to God to see what we can learn from that example.

Introduction Last week, we began a new series about the four big areas of our life that God must win. The first one we talked about was God must win our choices. At the end of the day, there ought to be more checks in God’s column on things that I chose to do God’s way rather than yielding to the ...read more

What's In A Name? Series

Contributed by Byron Harvey on Feb 5, 2007

Fourth in a six-part series on the life of faith as seen in the person of Abraham

Shortcuts to God’s will are not worth taking. In chapter 16, we read that Abram and Sarai decided that enough was enough; perhaps God meant that Abram would have a son by another woman, since Sarai was barren, and so she gave her maiden Hagar to Abram. Hagar conceived and bore Ishmael to Abram; ...read more
