     | 5,502 views

    In order to regain your integrity after it is lost, let God reveal your sin, rebuke you for it, and then restore you wholly and completely just like He did for Abraham.

    Every few years the U.S. Department of Defense publishes a short book called The Encyclopedia of Ethical Failure. The book is filled with case studies of government employees acting badly, and it's used to train new government workers how not to behave on the job. Recently, one case study focused ...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

    Just Like Us (Part Two)

    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

    What Lies Beneath A Lie Series

    Today we will talk about lying. Our goal is to go beyond the obvious instruction that we should not lie. Our goal is to learn what our lies teach us about the condition of our hearts.

    Sermon Notes May 20, 2012 FBCam “What Lies Beneath a Lie?” Genesis 20:1-18 One of the many pieces of advice we received before our wedding was to save the top tier of your wedding cake and eat and eat it on your first anniversary. We had a tiny little freezer. For one full year, ...read more

    We are a long ways from the days of “Leave it to Beaver” and “The Brady Bunch”! What does God have to say to the “Modern Family”?

    Modern Family Pt. 1 – Give and Get I hate to be the bearer of bad news but “Leave it to Beaver” has left, Mayberry is a distant memory, and the Waltons have said, “goodnight!” The day we live is different. The climate has changed. This modern age has impacted and ...read more

    Abraham: Same Lie, Different Country Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 22, 2021
     | 3,070 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

    Embarrassing Reruns

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 28, 2016
     | 3,749 views

    Sometimes when you've made the same dumb mistake again, you get a vague sense of déjà vu. That's what Abraham got when Abimelek rebuked him for lying about Sarah being his sister. Let's don't keep falling into the same sins!

    EMBARRASSING RERUNS Gen. 20:1-13,17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Abraham bought himself a fancy new computer and was showing it to Isaac one day. "Look at all the wonderful programs it has on it. And look at all the neat things it can do." 2. Isaac was impressed but a little concerned. "But, ...read more

    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.

    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).

    Genesis Chapter Twenty Series

    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Mar 8, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 868 views

    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

    Abraham’s lack of faith in God’s care for him leads him to sin

    We started out this series on the life of Abraham using the illustration of the “trust walk.” A “trust walk” is a game we played at camp where we’d have kids partner up, blind-fold each other, and lead their blind-folded partners on a trust walk through the woods. Abraham began his trust-walk ...read more
