    Faith in the Famine (Genesis part 24) Text: Genesis 12:10 – 20 By: Ken McKinley (Read Text) The very first sentence of our text tells us that while Abram was living in the Promised Land, a famine struck and he moved to Egypt to escape it.

    Don't rely on yourself to get through the speed bumps in life. Turn to the Lord and determine what is best for you to do spiritually speaking.

    Do you like to drive? Some people love it. Just give them a bag of sunflower seeds and they can drive forever—much to the chagrin of their family. I like driving except through parking lots. My stress level rises there because there are so many potential hazards like runaway shopping carts, ...read more

    A. WHAT ARE STUMBLING BLOCKS TO WALKING BY FAITH? 1. Walk by sight. “We walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7). 2. Doubts. “Walk in faith” (Rom. 4:12). 3. Tell lies. “Walk in truth” (2 John 4). 4. Controlled by the flesh. “Walk not after the flesh” (Rom. 8:1). 5. Give into the ...read more

    A Failure Of Faith Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 12, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,122 views

    No one is perfect. Even the greatest of Biblical characters are sinners. When Abraham faced the first crisis since deciding to walk with God, he defaulted to his old ways of falsehood rather than walking by faith.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a young boy who came home from practice all decked out in his baseball outfit. 1. Cheerfully, his mom asked him, “How did Little League go?” 2. The little boy growled, “Terrible! I struck out three times!” 3. Trying to console her son, his mom said, “That’s ...read more

    Abram had obeyed God and moved his household to the land of Canaan. While there, he experienced the first severe test of his new faith. How did he respond to this challenge?

    Introduction: Abram had left Ur of the Chaldees and was now living in the land of Canaan. He had settled, at least for the time being, south of Bethel and Ai. The exact location is not given in the text. When a real problem came, Abram experienced his first significant test of faith. How would he ...read more

    Now Abraham is one of those guys we see a tremendous amount of faith.

    Well today we’re going to get out the faith meter and we’re going to measure the faith of the superheroes in the Bible. We’re going to look at one of them in particular. We’re going to look at Abraham and we’re going to ask the question how is his faith doing. Now Abraham is one of those guys we ...read more

    "Our Savior And Scarecrows: How To Fight Your Fears” Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,997 views

    God didn’t call Abraham to be the Father of Faith because He was a spiritual giant; quiet to contrary, He called Him because He was human, yet willing to be molded, melted, and changed. He wants to do the same for you.

    One of God’s staple, primary commands to His followers is simply: “Do not fear.” It is interesting but did you know that the phrase: “Do not fear or Fear not” occurs over 300 times in the Bible and in some translations it actually occurs 365 times—some say 1 for every day of the year. Here’s the ...read more

    Having Confidence When We Are Fearful

    What do we do when the ugly little head of fear begins to creep into our lives? What is it that causes you fear? An example of Abram's life shows us what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

    Fear. Whether we want to admit it or not, fear is something that we have to wrestle with. The fear of standing on the ladder that's two stories high. Fear of a spider crawling on your skin. The fear of snakes. The fear of standing on a stage with the spotlight beaming on you. The fear of ...read more

     | 4,129 views

    Identity: Answers the question: ‘Who has God called you to be?’ Destiny: Answers the question: ‘What has God called you to do?’ So identity leads to destiny. Without knowing who you are, you cannot reach your destiny. Say “yes” to Jesus or you will lose your way.

    Many Biblical characters changed their destinies thru prayers. Destiny is never a product of laziness. Jacob sought his with tears & prayers. Hannah sought hers thru fasting. David achieved his thru flight & isolation. God never rewards lazy Christians.

    God's blessings are never restricted to the blessed. He has designed it so that thru you, many might be blessed - Your family, co-workers, neighbors, people you know on social media. In Exodus 12:38, many followed the Jews when they saw God’s favor on them.

     | 2,776 views

    The phrase "go thy way" appears several times in the King James Version of the Bible. This first message speaks of Abram and how he got into trouble in a foreign land!

    Introduction: Even the best of God’s saints will face problems at one time or another. Abram had his share of troubles, too, and the passage below gives a few details of one episode which Abram would probably just as soon forget! When famine came, Abram left the land of promise and wound up in the ...read more

    When the famine hit Canaan, Abram looked to Egypt rather than to God. This sermon examines the problems we encounter when we turn to the world in our troubles rather than to God.

    Do you have a worry box? It’s a mental box that we can place our worries in. This box can only hold so many worries, so as soon as one disappears, we fill it with another. If a bigger worry comes along, we discard the smaller worries to make room for it. These worry don’t vanish. They ...read more
