    Does making peace sometimes mean separation? Is making peace a good thing? Let's look at Genesis 21.

    What is the biggest test of your life? Let's look at Abraham's biggest test in Genesis 22.

    Did Jesus do many miracles in places where He was dishonored? What was the purpose of the first short-term mission trip? Why was John the baptist killed? How did Jesus provide for the 5000?

     | 627 views

    Such honor for a departed wife! Such honor and respect between parties in the Middle East! Let's look at Genesis 23.

    Abraham and Sarah had their ups and downs. She encouraged him to have a baby by their housekeeper. They suffered greatly because of it. Abraham deceived two kings and was tested probably more than many of us could handle in offering his son. Yet in the end, their marriage survived. They had an ...read more

  • A Wife For Isaac (Genesis 24)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 3, 2024
     | 412 views

    How did it happen that the Lord provided a distant believing wife for Isaac, rather than a neighboring pagan wife? Let's look at Genesis 24.

    How would we find a marriage partner? Would we choose a pagan or unbeliever who is close by or seek a fellow believer even if they come from far away? Would we follow a believing parent’s advice or ignore their wisdom and make our own choice? Do we trust that God can also provide for us? Let’s ...read more

    How do we handle sibling rivalry? Let's look at an example in Genesis 25.

     | 696 views

    We all face potential family problems. The patriarchs were no exception. Let's look at Isaac's family in Genesis 26.

    The patriarchs had all the normal family problems that most of us experience. It seems there is always trouble in the human sphere, someone we don’t get along with, someone who brings trouble of some kind. Yet, in the midst of troubles there is faith. Is there also faith in us? Let’s look at ...read more

  • God's Purpose Stands (Genesis 27)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 6, 2024
     | 698 views

    Can God use very faulty people to fulfill His purposes? Let's look at Genesis 27.

    Sometimes we are blessed, not because we deserve it, but because God has a greater purpose than our sins. A native American once said that European settlers did not deserve the land they stole, but they brought an even more valuable gift, the Gospel. Can God use people who must repent of lies and ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 7, 2024
     | 469 views

    Do we add human traditions that overshadow or even disobey Jesus? Let's look at Mark 7.

    What did Jesus say about using man-made traditions to disobey God’s commandments? Do evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness defile us? Does Jesus still make the deaf to hear and give ...read more

     | 418 views

    Did God mysteriously promise Christ to Jacob? Do we limit God to a place of worship, or recognize His blessings on us everywhere we go? Let's look at Genesis 28.

    Do we limit God to a physical place? Can we truly limit God to a house of worship or is He with us everywhere? Was a mysterious promise of Christ included? Let’s look at Genesis 28. Did Isaac come to his senses and bless Jacob according to God’s will? Later, Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, ...read more

  • Sad Polygamy (Genesis 29)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 8, 2024
     | 384 views

    Were the patriarchs and matriarchs of our common faith filled with great imperfections and a great faith? Are we in the Church still so very imperfect, but also filled with a great faith? Let's look at Genesis 29.

    Were God’s patriarchs and matriarchs very imperfect? Yet, were they also people of great faith? Is the same true of many church members today? After he left home to escape his brother’s threats, how did Jacob meet Rachel? Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the ...read more

  • Polygamous Life (Genesis 30)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 9, 2024
     | 401 views

    Can God show mercy upon very imperfect servants? Does Jacob's life reveal that polygamy simply does not work? Was God's design from the beginning of one man and one woman simply the best? Let's look at Genesis 30.

    Does Jacob’s life reveal why polygamy does not work? Did Leah suffer because of this selfish lifestyle? Did competition between wives make family harmony difficult? Did God bless Jacob despite his personal failings? Did God know what He was doing when He designed marriage to be between one man and ...read more

    Life is full of injustices. How do we escape a cheat? Let's look at Genesis 31.

    Injustices are many in this world, yet if we try to find justice in our own power, we may make matters even worse. Is it best to wait on the Lord? Let’s look at Genesis 31.

  • Wrestling With God (Genesis 32)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 12, 2024
     | 723 views

    Do we wrestle with God in prayer or do we give up? Let's look at Genesis 32.

    Jacob’s name meant a heel catcher, someone who gets ahead by slowing someone else down. God had prophesied to Rebekah that the older would serve the younger, but Jacob took the inheritance and the blessing by tricking his brother. Was his suffering under a wage-cheating father-in-law a good lesson ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 14, 2024
     | 426 views

    Who is Jesus? Let's discuss the Messianic riddle in Mark 8.

    Who do we say that Jesus is? Are we willing to take up our cross, and follow Him, or are we chasing things of the world and losing our souls? Are we ashamed of Jesus? Let’s discuss this in Mark 8. Did a great crowd have anything to eat after three days with Jesus? Was Jesus concerned about their ...read more
