    Old Habits Are Hard To Break Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 7, 2017
     | 10,991 views

    In this sermon, we witness Abraham falling back into the same sinful pattern of lying and we are forced to wrestle with our own struggle against sinful habits that are hard to break.

    Introduction: A. Several elderly nuns were on the second floor of their convent one night when a fire broke out. 1. When the nuns realized the fire was blocking the exit, they took their habits off, tied them together to make a rope, and climbed out the window. 2. After they were safely on the ...read more

    None in this world can pat you on your back and cheer you, coax you, urge you, push you, embolden you, support you and stir you like the way our Heavenly dad does!

    Pep talk! Genesis 20:7”Now return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die." “I have told them (Army men), don’t get killed, you kill the enemy so ...read more

    Prayer Like Abraham

     | 3,366 views

    No matter what, do not compromise prayer! Chuck everything else to be consistent with God in prayer! Then God would testify Himself about you!

    Abraham prayed! Genesis 20:7 "Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours." It was ‘Parent’s meeting day’ at our Abide School, I ...read more

    Part 36 of our Genesis series dealing with Abraham and Abimelech

    A Moral Man Condemned (Genesis part 36) Text: Genesis 20:1-18 By: Ken McKinley Well we’ve made it to Genesis chapter 20, we’re not quite half-way through this book, and if we’ve learned anything so far, it’s that these men of God in Genesis were just as bone-headed as we are. Adam sinned against ...read more

    We all make mistakes. None of us are perfect and that includes those in the bible. Those great men and women of faith did some remarkable things but they had their flaws too. Today we'll look at Abraham and Joshua and see how they are just like us.

    JUST LIKE US (part two) Recap: Last week we looked at the fact that although we all make mistakes it isn't easy to admit it. Sometimes we make the mistake of looking at celebrities in an elevated way that portrays them as larger than life and almost too perfect. Therefore we conclude that they ...read more

    Where there is no fear of Lord, there is no restraint from doing evil.

    NO FEAR (of God) Genesis 20:11 “No fear”. It’s on clothing, it’s in commercials. But having no fear is stupid. Little children with no fear of heights can get hurt badly. Having no fear of boiling water on a stove leads to burns. Having no fear of getting hurt leads to reckless driving. It may ...read more

    How good a witness was Abraham to the pagans? How well do we witness?

    The Life of Abraham, Part 12: Abraham’s Witness to Abimelech Genesis 20:1-18 Introduction Last week we learned of the terrible destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah for their gross wickedness. From the destruction, the LORD graciously delivered Lot and his two daughters. The ...read more

    IN Genesis 20, we see one of the many failures in the life and ministry of Abraham. This sermon highlights how God responds to our failures.

    Breaking old habits

    A. INTRODUCTION: BREAKING OLD HABITS 1. Why is it hard to teach old dogs new tricks? Because old dogs go back to old habits. “As a pig returns to it squalor” (2 Peter 2:22, ELT). Why Old Habits? • Recessive memory • Reinforces our values and attitudes • The old way worked • We don’t want to ...read more

    Life is tough, somehow it never turns out the way the movie pictures it, be wise and smart. The agenda of the enemy is to stop growth, multiplication and progress.

    Took Sarah…… Genesis 20:2”…..Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.” “The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy” (John 10:10).

    Abraham: Same Lie, Different Country Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 22, 2021
     | 3,080 views

    Abraham and his household moved to another area. What happened when they met this new king looks very similar to something they had tried many years before. It didn't work in this new location, either.

    Introduction: After the events of Genesis 19, Abraham left Mamre/Hebron and journeyed southwest towards the Mediterranean Sea. He entered the land of the Philistines and settled at Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur. While there, he told the same lie about Sarah; only to a different king (compare this ...read more

    When these events took place, Samson was in trouble and he knew it. The final chapter of his life concludes with a very significant event. May we learn from Samson: trust God, but don't make the same mistakes he did!

    Introduction: When the events of this story took place, Samson is in the Philistine prison in Gaza (16:21); his head was shaved and he was bound in fetters of bronze (brass, KJV). He was sentenced to grind (grain?) in the prison house. Even worse, he was blind—the Philistines had put out his eyes ...read more

    Genesis Chapter Twenty Series

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER TWENTY OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Abraham again presents Sarah as his sister because he fears for his life. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 20 Sarah is taken from Abraham by Abimelech, king of Gerar, whom God threatens with death, unless he restore ...read more
