Sin Seeps In

As we run into Lot one more time, we learn lessons about our own drift into sin and callousness towards evil, as well as God's goodness to us on behalf of Christ.

The Judge Who Always Does What is Right

As Abraham interacts with God and intercedes for Sodom, God is seen as a God of justice and righteousness who also loves to show mercy on the behalf of the righteous.

Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?

We say we believe that nothing is impossible with God, but we are still tempted to laugh with doubt like Abraham and Sarah when God says he will do the incredible. Genesis 18:1-15 shows us God's love and power and lovingly rebukes us with the question, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?"

The Lord's Prayer

In Matthew 6, Jesus gives us a wonderfully practical model for prayer - a model we can easily apply as we seek to be more disciplined and God-focused in our prayer lives.

Walking Worthy

How do we follow the repeated command in Scripture to walk worthy of God and our calling? 1 Timothy 6:11-12 gives us four commands as the answer: flee, pursue, fight, and seize.

A New Name

As God again confirms his covenant to Abraham, we learn that God will do all that he says he will without any help from us, but that he will change us at our very core in the process.

The God Who Sees Us

Genesis 16, through the failures of Abram and Sarai and the fleeing of Hagar, reveals the wonderfully comforting truth that God sees and hears his children wherever they are.

God, Can I Trust You?

When God appears to Abram in a vision, Abram and we learn that we can trust God completely because his word is sure and his promises are rooted in who he is.

Faith's Response to Victory

Lot's decision to separate from Abram and reside near Sodom leads to both he and Abram getting tied up in the affairs of some foreign kings. But when God gives victory to Abram, he is faced with a choice - how will he, and how should we, respond to the victories God gives?

Faith's Response to Conflict

Having returned from the fiasco in Egypt, Abram now must deal with a conflict between he and his nephew Lot. Having learned his lesson, Abram responds in faith and models how we should deal with the conflicts that occur in our lives.
