    Isaac, Son Of Abraham

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 8, 2021
     | 3,390 views

    Isaac seems to have lived in the shadows of his father (Abraham) and his sons (Esau and Jacob). He is mentioned less than either of these, but he stayed faithful to the God of his father, Abraham. So can we!

    Introduction: Isaac does not have as much coverage in the Bible as his father, Abraham, or his sons, Esau and Jacob. He still lived for the True and the Living God, serving Him much as Abraham had done and Jacob would do later on. Isaac outlived both father and son, finally dying at the age of 180. ...read more

    Switching Gears To Freedom Eleutheria! Eleutheria is the Greek, word for freedom. When Paul penned this word it spoke volumes to the churches in Galatia.

    Blameless!!

     | 1,402 views

    Wouldn't it be great to be blame-less? Considering all of the things that we have done in our life, it would not be likely that we could claim that title. Still, if there would be a way, why not at least check into it.

He did a great job, as he did this summer when he helped us learn more about Psalm 23. In my introduction of Harold, I ...read more
