Against All Odds

Contributed by Glenn Robinson on Oct 26, 2002

This sermon shows how Abraham believed God in spite of a hopless situation. It also shows how we can believe God when things look hopless to us.

It is easy to believe God when we can see a physical answer to our situation. Such as believing for : A job when unemployment is low, Healing when your doctor has prescribed medicine, God’s provision when you just inherited $1 million. On the other end of the spectrum, some things are ...read more

The Audacity Of Simple Faith Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 15, 2009

Abraham didn’t have much to go on - God’s promise. But what Abraham did, when he did it, and through what agency speaks volumes to the Jew and Gentile alike how to have trust in a God you cannot see.

Despite the good news that God gives new life free of charge, we humans have a hard time accepting such a gift. We, by nature want to earn or buy what we get. For the Roman Christians reading Paul’s letter, that would also have been true. In fact, many of them were Jewish Christians, and thinking ...read more

No children, though they wanted ...read more
