    A Wife For Isaac (Genesis 24)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 3, 2024
     | 339 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

     | 626 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.

    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.

    Sad Polygamy (Genesis 29)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 8, 2024
     | 351 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.
