    God Blesses Isaac (Genesis 26)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 4, 2024
     | 637 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
     | 579 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

    The Human Heart (Mark 7)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 7, 2024
     | 405 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

    Jacob's Ladder (Genesis 28)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 7, 2024
     | 387 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
     | 353 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
     | 366 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

    Escaping A Cheat (Genesis 31)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 11, 2024
     | 656 views

    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. Did Laban’s attitude towards Jacob worsen? Did God protect Jacob? What did Jacob say to Rachel and Leah? Now Jacob used to ...read more

    Wrestling With God (Genesis 32)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 12, 2024
     | 675 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

    Who Is Jesus? (Mark 8)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 14, 2024
     | 393 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

    Brothers' Reunion (Genesis 33)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 14, 2024
     | 397 views

    When God promises us something, why do we worry instead of relaxing? Let's look at Genesis 33.

    When God makes a promise, why do we worry about circumstances? Why don’t we trust that God has a plan to fulfill His promises to us? How did the meeting with Esau start out? Then Jacob raised his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the ...read more

    Revenge Or Justice? (Genesis 34)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 15, 2024
     | 426 views

    Do we seek justice or revenge? Let's look at a case study in Genesis 34.

    Do we want true justice or is our motive really revenge for wrongful acts? Should we fight every wrong in the world or sometimes wait on God for justice? Let’s look at justice and revenge in Genesis 34. What did Shechem do to Dinah? Did he want to marry her afterwards? Dinah, the daughter of ...read more

    Repenting Of Idols (Genesis 35)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 16, 2024
     | 245 views

    What kind of idols do we need to repent of? Let's look at Genesis 35.

    God is merciful. Families do not repent of past sins all at once. It often takes time. What sins of our families do we still need to grow past? Let’s look at an example in Genesis 35. Did God tell Jacob to leave the area? Did the family finally repent of having idols? Were even their earrings ...read more

    Edom (Genesis 36)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 18, 2024
     | 421 views

    Do we want to be like Edom or Israel? Let's examine Genesis 36.

    Esau married Canaanite wives (Genesis 26:34-35). His descendants refused the Exodus Israelites safe passage (Numbers 20:21; 21:4). Yet, God commanded Israel to treat them kindly (Deuteronomy 23:7). Israel ruled them for a time (1 Samuel 14:47; 2 Samuel 8:14). Prophets prophesied against them ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 18, 2024
     | 448 views

    What must it have been like for Joseph, sold into slavery by his own brothers? Do we trust God that He has a plan for those who love Him? Let's look at Genesis 37.

    What was it like for Joseph being sold by his brothers into Egyptian slavery? How do we handle terrible loss? Do we have the faith to wait on God, who has wonderful plans, for those who love Him?

    Judah's Sin (Genesis 38)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 19, 2024
     | 445 views

    Be sure you sin will find you out, is a warning to do things God's way? Let's examine Judah's sin in Genesis 38.

    We may think that we have hidden our sins, but they often come back to haunt us. Is it better to live honestly and above board, as much as humanly possible, than be constantly worried that our sin will find us out? Let’s look at Genesis 38. Did Judah leave his brothers to live elsewhere? Right ...read more
