    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!

    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

    Embarrassing Reruns

     | 3,669 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

    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

     | 10,901 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

    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

     | 4,264 views

    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

    Abraham: Same Lie, Different Country Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 22, 2021
     | 2,993 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

    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
