    What does trusting in Christ look like? What difference does it make if I give my life to Christ? Isaac is a believer. His brother Esau is not. We can learn a lot from their journey in Genesis 26.

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 26 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 26 1. And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And ...read more

    Three Symbols Of Spiritual Success

    Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Oct 14, 2010

     | 11,091 views

    There are three things in the life of Isaac which are symbolic of the conditions for a believer who desires to have spiritual success.

    Intro: Isaac was the son of a famous father (Abraham) and the father of a famous son (Jacob, who was Israel). But being the son of Abraham and the father of Jacob was NOT the key to his spiritual success. Isaac himself lived a life of obedience and faith in God. Read Gen. 26:25. We find 3 things ...read more

    Isaac shows us three things in his life that you and I also need. If you get them and get them right, you will go a long ways in your spiritual walk.

    Thirsty Enough Yet? Sacrifice, Shelter, and the Sustaning Solution TEXT: Gen. 26:17-25 (esp. vs. 25) The Jews, even today, refer often to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (spiritual fathers) Abraham is the father of the faith.

    As Christians, there are some things that God used in the generations before us and it's high time we dig afresh some of these wells and allow God to provide 'a well of springing water'.

    Isaac dug the wells of his father, but the journey was a challenge for him to find the place of God’s presence. How many of us give up or settle before we find the place of the pure water of life?

    Dig Thy Well Genesis 26:17-33  In OT times, to fill or cover wells was a declaration of war.  The pure water that once flowed was tainted and no longer available once the well was covered.  Isaac was in a place where he had to decide how far he was willing to ...read more

    We often think that God’s blessing should just pop up. Some do! More often than not though God asks us to look for them. God has strategically placed His blessings where we could find them if we are listening to Him. God wants us to remember that He loves

    Valley Experience Series # 3 Opening Illustration: Once Isaac and his servants remembered the wells, they had to look for them. The wells just didn’t pop up. Effort was made to remember exactly where they were, and to find them. There is a story of a family unpacking at their new home. After ...read more

    What should we do when we make mistakes and can we become good witnesses for God again?

    We have all done it! We have all done something not good; then we say to ourselves, “Wow, I was really a poor testimony for God with that one.” Did anyone get hurt? Did you do anything about it? You know, this is actually a good sign when you realize you have done something wrong for God. This ...read more
