It is good to have confidence in where you are going when you die, but it is also important to have confidence in where you are going when you are alive and in desperate need of help. One of my favorite hymns is “Trusting Jesus” by Edgar Stites. It is a hymn of faith as theContinueContinue reading “My Day of Distress (Genesis 34-35)”

What Should I Do? (Genesis 30:1-24)
Foolish decisions make difficult situations worse. Foolish decisions are often sinful decisions because they are made out of fear instead of faith. When times get tough, we must not panic because when we panic we seek to take control of our situation and we end up making our situation worse. Choosing faith over fear isContinueContinue reading “What Should I Do? (Genesis 30:1-24)”
Thy Will be Done (Genesis 25:19-34)
God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life that might not always seem so wonderful.

One of the most convicting songs we sing is “I Surrender All”.

It’s a Rerun (Genesis 20)
This message from Genesis 20 might seem like a rerun. Tell me if you have heard this before? Abraham is scared that a foreign king will kill him in order to take his wife. He devises a plan to pretend that she is not his wife, but just his sister so that they will treatContinueContinue reading “It’s a Rerun (Genesis 20)”

The Folly of Impatience (Genesis 16)
Will Rogers once said, “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” How do you know if your decisions are helping to solve your problems or if they are simply making them worse? If we find ourselves in a difficult situation, we must not make the situation worse by making foolish decisions. So, howContinueContinue reading “The Folly of Impatience (Genesis 16)”
Live by Faith, not Sight (Genesis 13)

Instead, God instructs us to prayerfully seek His will because He always guides us to what is best. In our sermon today, we shall study Genesis 13 andContinueContinue reading “Live by Faith, not Sight (Genesis 13)”
