    Abram & Lot Separate (Genesis 13)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 19, 2024
     | 411 views

    As Abram left his home, have we left the world, and do we look for a heavenly city? Let's discuss this in Genesis 13.

    God does not demand that everyone physically leave their country, but do Christians become spiritual citizens of a heavenly country? Are we therefore in the world but not of the world (John 17:14-15)? Let’s discuss this in Genesis 13. What did Abram do as he left Egypt for the promised ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 19, 2024
     | 534 views

    Who was the mysterious person that Abraham gave a tithe to? Let's discuss this in Genesis 14.

    In the midst of war weariness, Abram paid tribute to a mysterious priest, who is described as without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life. Was this the preincarnate Christ or merely a prototype? Let’s discuss this in Genesis 14. Was there war ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 21, 2024
     | 352 views

    Are we Abraham's children by faith? Let's examine this in Genesis 15.

    What did the Lord promise Abram? Did he trust God? How many descendants would Abram have? Did God intend to bless the whole world through a descendant of Abram, Jesus? Did God visit Abram in a vision? What was his request of God? After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, ...read more

    Abram's Bad Decision (Genesis 16)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 21, 2024
     | 309 views

    Do people of faith occasionally make very bad decisions? Let's discuss Genesis 16.

    Though he was righteous by faith, did Abram still make the occasional horrible decision? Is Christian history also filled with both virtuous and shameful choices? When we forget to pray and seek God’s will, inspired by the Holy Spirit, scripture, and Godly counsel, can we cause ourselves and others ...read more

    Various Healings (Mark 5)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 23, 2024
     | 418 views

    What can we learn from various healings about faith? Let's look at Mark 5.

    Did Jesus heal an insane man of demon possession who had not asked for it? Was a woman healed because of her faith? Did Jesus heal a man’s daughter despite other people’s lack of faith? Do we have faith? Let’s discuss this in Mark 5. On the other side of the lake, who came out to meet Jesus? So ...read more

    The Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 17)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 24, 2024
     | 371 views

    How does the Abrahamic covenant relate to the Christian? Let's discuss Genesis 17.

    Is the promise to Abraham fully realized in Abraham’s descendant, Jesus and the Good News for all nations? Is true circumcision of the heart and not just the flesh? How did Abram’s name get changed? What does Abraham mean? When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, ...read more

    Three Heavenly Visitors (Genesis 18)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 24, 2024
     | 511 views

    If we cannot see God and live, how was Abraham able to see and speak to the Lord? Let's look at Genesis 18.

    Did Jesus play a greater role in the Old Testament than we may have realized? How is it that we cannot see God and live (Exodus 33:20), yet Abraham saw and spoke with the Lord in Genesis 18? Is this an allusion to God the Father and God the Son in the Old Testament, before the Lord was made ...read more

    Two Angels In Sodom (Genesis 19)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 26, 2024
     | 459 views

    Was the thinking of Lot and his family severely affected by life in Sodom? Are we truly in the world but not of the world? Let's examine Genesis 19.

    Were some in Lot’s family completely immersed in the life of Sodom and not wanting to leave? Were Lot, his wife, and his daughters also affected by the perverse environment of that city? What can happen to our thinking, living and working in this world? Are we truly in the world but not of the ...read more

    Lying To Abimelech (Genesis 20)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 26, 2024
     | 459 views

    Is God merciful to our human weaknesses? What about the weaknesses of great leaders of our faith? Let's look at Genesis 20.

    Is a half-truth still a lie if the intent is to deceive? Do even God’s leading servants occasionally sin out of weakness? Is God merciful to our weaknesses? Let’s examine Genesis 20. Did Abraham lie again about his wife as he had previously done in Egypt? Abraham moved south to the Negev and ...read more

    Making Peace (Genesis 21)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 27, 2024
     | 337 views

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

    Is laughter sometimes an expression of joy? Is making peace a good thing? Is separation sometimes the best course of action for peace? Is a formal covenant of peace a good thing? Let’s look at Genesis 21. Did Sarah bear a son named Laughter in her old age? Did she laugh again, with joy? The Lord ...read more

     | 278 views

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

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 30, 2024
     | 395 views

    Was even Jesus honored except at home? Let's look at Mark 6.

    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? Did Jesus take time alone to pray? Were the disciples' hearts still hardened? Let’s look at Mark 6. Why ...read more

    Sarah Dies (Genesis 23)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 30, 2024
     | 574 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
     | 357 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

    Abraham's Family (Genesis 25)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 4, 2024
     | 359 views

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

    Sibling rivalry can drive families apart, causing people to leave town, the farm, the business, the country. It doesn’t help when parents take sides. How do we navigate the delicate balance between our children? Let’s look at Abraham’s family in Genesis 25. Did Abraham remarry after the death of ...read more
