Sermon # 45 - The Two Sons Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 20, 2025

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.

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

King Making - King Breaking Series
