Summary: A truly remarkable chapter in the Bible, as we see this young man Joseph give glory to God through his life by being a living sacrifice and witness as he withstands temptations and trials. Join us as we glean strength and lessons for our trials and temptations in life.

Summary: Another strange, but true story that God reveals in the Scriptures for us the story of Judah and Tamar. As strange and as sordid as this story is, God reveals a tapestry of love and forgiveness that weaves all the way to the birth of Jesus; and the story reveals that try as Satan will to destroy the plans of God, his efforts are futile, and that would mean his efforts against you as well....

Summary: The story of Joseph in the book of Genesis is a powerful narrative that encompasses nearly 25% of this foundational text. While only one chapter is devoted to the creation of the universe, God chose to dedicate a significant portion to Joseph's life. This emphasis begs the question: Why? The answer lies in the profound truth that God desires us to know the Creator more than the creation i...

Summary: God puts these words before us, this genealogy of Esau, so we can see that the works of the flesh all end in nothing.  In the end the flesh ends up with nothing, the flesh fades and withers.  Esau's lineage had the kingdom, the power, and the glory.  The three things man in his flesh want, yet in the end, ends with nothing.

Summary: We will be looking at Jacob stopping short of God's will of where he should be, and he will reap the consequences and his whole family as well in one of the most disastrous stories of the Bible with the violation of his daughter, Dinah. But Jacob will use that horrible circumstance to get himself up and get going to where God had called him to go and be, and get things right between him,...

Summary: In Genesis 32, Jacob faces a moment of deep fear and crisis as he prepares to meet his brother Esau, whom he had wronged years earlier. Overwhelmed by anxiety, Jacob prays humbly, acknowledging his unworthiness and pleading for God’s deliverance. That night, alone and desperate, Jacob wrestles with a mysterious man—God Himself in human form. In this struggle, Jacob is physically broken, h...

Summary: It is time, as God has appointed the time for Jacob to move on from his Uncle Laban, and back to the Promised Land, and start God’s work on what will be the Land, and the Messiah to come and provide Himself the sacrifice for sin. Even with a great calling upon his life it appears that Jacob is getting comfortable in his good life, so God has to stir things up to get him moving in the righ...

Subject: The passage begins by saying that “So Jacob went on his journey”. Jacob’s journey, is so much like our journey in this world with high and lows, hopes and dreams, joys and sorrows. Jacob is going to find some of all these in this chapter; but most importantly, God is going to show him himself, so God can do something about the things that need changed in him. God will do the same for all...

Summary: In our passage today, we read of one of e greatest accounts of grace and Jacob is on the run from his brother Esau for deceiving him and his father Issac regarding the family blessing; yet God shows up and pours grace out upon him.  We don’t understand grace and that’s the point, for if we could, it wouldn’t be grace. We can only stand on the promise of grace, and receive it, though never...

Summary: In our study we will see Jacob and Rebekah deceive Isaac to pass the spiritual blessing unto Jacon rather than Esau. Each of us can be one of these four, so the question before the study, which one are you, and what can you do about it? Are You: ·       Isaac – Who spiritually went from on-fire, to slow-fade, to a vapor? ·       Esau – Who chose the things of the world and flesh, over the...

Summary: Famines in our spiritual lives come from time to time. The question for us is, “where do You go, what do You do when they come?” In our passage today we will see Isaac enter a famine, and God will give us many great spiritual lessons from his life to apply to our lives in our time of need. Join Us! 

Summary: In our passage today, we say goodbye to a dear friend (Abraham). We get to know Isaac his son in a deeper way, and are introduced to Jacob, who will become the Father of Israel. We will also come to know Issac’s brother Ishmael in a deeper way and introduced to Jacob’s brother Esau. All these men will live life, but not all will live “full satisfying” lives. Join us as we study….. “how to...

Summary: This chapter is the longest chapter in the Book of Genesis, and that is not surprising considering the whole chapter is a picture of God’s Bride…… you! Join us as the Lord says to us…… to take a good, long, lingering look at how I feel about you.

Summary: In our chapter today, we will read of the death of Sarah (Abraham’s wife), whose name means “princess”. As Abraham weeps, we will see the heart of God who says He catches and keeps all our tears in a bottle. And through all the tears, the passage gives a beautiful picture, and promise, of the resurrection. 

Summary: 2,000 years ago, the greatest three words in the history of mankind were spoken. What do they mean to you, and how do you apply them to your life today. Join us for a special message from the heart of God.

Summary: My hope is always hopeful because my God always has an ….”after these things” for me. Always a tomorrow, always a day after, whether after a failure or fault, a mountain high or a valley low, there is always an… “after these things” because there is a cross, a resurrection, by the God who provided all these things, including Himself upon the cross for me. And He is always on the move in m...

Summary: It is 25-years later, but here is the promise given to Abraham and Sarah fulfilled with the birth of Issac. The child of promise is Issac, and his name means laughter. Surely people laughed at the impossibility of having a child at such an age; but now we will read they laugh with them, in the amazement of what only God can do. He is the same God today…. And people may be laughing at what...

Summary: In our study Abraham will repeat the same failing of faith that he did almost 25 years prior. We can poke at the Father-of-Faith and ask how could you? But the Lord reminds us that these Old Testament stories were written as examples for us. So here we find several examples “for us”, and in each of them we will explore if we too are repeating the same failings time and time again….. and m...

Summary: Although the focus of the chapter is on Sodom and Gomorrah, the chapter in whole tells a broader story that goes beyond just what the chapter is known for. It speaks of the warning to believers that even the righteous can compromise. But God knew where to find Lot, and us, and He comes, and He speaks to us (any and all who are willing to hear). Join us as we study this story that is both...

Summary: In our chapter today, the Lord will “dine” with Abraham because He's a God of intimacy and fellowship with His people. God will “delight” Sarah as He tells her of the promise of the child she will have even when she's having a hard time believing.  And thirdly, the Lord “declares” to Abraham what's on His heart because God tells those that care. The question for all of us today, “what can...

Summary: When Abram was 99 God appeared to him telling him I am “God Almighty” (Heb. El Shaddai). Shaddai comes from an old word meaning “mountain” and refers to His mighty power that is high and unshakable. And, if Abram wanted to know God’s power, he had to walk, that is live, close to the Lord. So too the passage before us speaks the same unto us. How can we do it? Join us for Genesis 17 to for...

Summary: Time has a way of erasing the promises of God that He has given us but have yet to come to pass. And Abraham and Sarah have forgotten His promise, so they try to put human logic into the middle of faith, and it just never works out, other than a mess in the flesh. But the story in this chapter comes one of the greatest stories in the Bible as we see that God sees Hagar who is mistreated a...

Summary: Abram is fearful, a great high moment comes with a new reality that there are things outside his control. In the midst of his fear a beautiful phase appears for the first time in the Bible, “The word of the LORD came to Abram”, and it becomes the foundation not just for his fear, but his faith as well. Whether it is fear or faith, the Lord has a “Word” for you in all your questions. Join...

Summary: What a golden nugget of a chapter as we will read that after Abram rescues his nephew Lot who was taking captive; that on his return Abram will meet the King of Salem (whose name is Melchizedek), who very well could have been the appearance of Jesus in the Old Testament. Absolutely an amazing passage as it will speak volumes of not just tying the Old Testament to the New Testament (as we...

Summary: Even after Abram’s failing of faith down in Egypt, God meets him at the altar he had built in the Promised Land before the failing. God is so gracious, kind, and longsuffering with us; and is always ready to meet us to fellowship and commune together with Him in love. Maybe you need to come back to the altar of His promises today for a fresh reunion and restoration. Join us as we see the...
