The Epic Life - Bob Hallman

Enjoy this audio replay of a message Pastor Bob Hallman delivered titled " Genesis 16:1-16, Making it Happen. Hurley: “Make Things Happen!” Nike: “Just Do It!” This is the strategy of the world and it’s a strategy that Abram and Sarai adopted in their effort to “help God” with His plan for their lives. Abram and Sarai could not have possibly anticipated the painful consequences that would result f...

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible teaches that salvation is by faith alone! But salvation by faith alone offends our natural thinking. We assume that a righteous standing before God should be the reward of those who do good and withheld from those who do evil. We want to get our salvation the old-fashioned way, “We want to earn it!” Fortunately, this flies in the face of everything the Bible t...

In Genesis14, we are introduced to the first war ever recorded in Scripture–a war between a confederation of 4 kings of the East and 5 kings of the South. On the surface, this incident is merely an international power struggle to ensure economic supremacy by the control of a crucial trade route. But behind it all is a foreshadowing of the Greatest Rescue Mission of All Time!! Enjoy the rest of the...

Hanalei Bridge on Kauai: Drivers from both directions are requested to give right of way. It is a reasonable and gracious way of preventing a head-on collision. In Genesis 13, we find that Abram and Lot were on a collision course. How they each responded 1) serves as a warning to those who mistakenly think that getting ahead in life demands looking out for “Number One” and 2) It serves as a remind...

Enjoy this Christmas themed message Pastor Bob delivered Dec 21, 2014. The Bible says that God was working through his son and he's also working in our lives from an eternal perspective, so God has actually loved you with an everlasting love and he's got a concern for you with an everlasting concern, and he has an everlasting sovereignty over your life and an everlasting purpose, and he's inviting...

In Genesis 12, we are introduced to Abraham who is unquestionably one of the greatest men of faith in the Old Testament: 1. Nearly one-fourth of the book of Genesis is devoted to this man’s life. 2. There are over 40 Old Testament references to him. 3. There are nearly 75 references to him in the New Testament. a. Paul presented Abraham as an example of a man who was justified before Godby faith a...

In Genesis chapter 11, we have an early effort on the part of man to doing something great–something significant, something lasting with their lives. It was this drive for significance that prompted them to want to make a name for themselves. But as you might have already guessed, God’s path to greatness is quite different from man’s: 1. If you want to be great, you must be the least and the serva...

Chapter 10 of Genesis has been called the Table of Nations. It is also one of those texts that we tend to want to skip over in our Bible reading, but there are a number of reasons for giving this text careful consideration: 1. It provides us authoritative evidence that the post-flood world descended from one pair of human beings. 2. It provides us with a historical accounting of the origins of the...

God’s ultimate goal is not to simply fill the earth with people but to fill the new heaven and the new earth with worshippers!!What’s His strategy? 1. He wants you to bear fruit. John 15:8 “This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” 2. He wants you to multiply yourself2 Timothy 2:2 “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many wi...

Some time ago researchers at Johns Hopkins discovered what most of us already knew–we have a tendency to forgets things! These are the things people most often forget: 1. Names: 83% 2. Where something is (like keys): 60% 3. Telephone numbers: 57% 4. Words: 53% 5. What was said: 49% 6. Faces: 42% And if you can’t remember whether you’ve just done something or not, you join 38 percent of the populat...

"We can learn something from David especially as we approach Thanksgiving because my guess is that most of us here have things that are kind of diminishing our gratitude in life. The things that diminish our gratitude, our worries and anxieties, and concerns and the wrong focus, those things can strip us of appreciation for what has happened and what is in our lives and what God has blessed us wit...

Did the Flood really occur? Was it universal or only regional? Was there really an ark, and was it large enough to hold all the animals? Where did all the water come from? These questions, and many others, are answered for us in Genesis 7. There are more than 200 cultures which have their own account of the flood including New Guinea, North America, Brazil, Peru, Africa, Greenland, India, China, E...

Here in chapter 6 we have the account of God’s impending judgment on a corrupt and rebellious world. Interestingly, the Lord compared the moral and spiritual climate of Noah’s day to the conditions immediately preceding the return of Jesus Christ. Luke 17:26-27 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man--exploding population (6:1), sexual perversion (6:2)...

Many parents like to quote Prov 22:6: “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not turn from it.” But to bring up a child in the way he should go–you must travel that way yourself. To bring up a child the way they should go, you have to go that way first!  “It’s much easier to become a father than to be one.” “There are little eyes upon you, and they are watching night a...

In our last study in Genesis chapter 2, we found that God created the perfect world, made the perfect man, put him in the perfect environment, gave him the perfect job and blessed him with the perfect wife. It was the perfect life. It was paradise. But it was soon to be Paradise Lost!  We live in a fallen, sinful, rebellious world. It is Paradise Lost. But one day not long from now, the Bible tell...

Have you wondered what it would be like to live the Perfect Life? Imagine–having a perfect body, being married to the perfect spouse, raising perfect children, working at a perfect job, living in the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood in a perfect world! Wouldn’t it be wonderful! We sometimes fantasize about a life like that, but we know it’s impossible in this fallen world. But there was a...

Enjoy this audio replay of a message Pastor Bob Hallman delivered 3/13/2011  The encouragement we have is in God. The encouragement that we have, is that God Rules. The encouragement that we have is that God is on the throne and God is in control and God is sovereign and God is powerful, and God is completely aware of what's happening. And all of these things are forcefully advancing the prophetic...

Enjoy this old audio recording from a Genesis Series Pastor Bob gave.  Genesis describes the beginning of everything imaginable except the beginning of God. Why? Because God has no beginning and no ending.  Genesis 1:1 answers the most basic and yet profound questions of life: 1.What is all this? 2.How did it begin? 3. When did it begin? 4. Who is behind it? These four fundamental questions of lif...

Genesis 1:1  "In the Beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  The book of the Genesis is the most important book that has ever been written. It has had a greater influence on humanity and human history than any other work that was ever produced.  As a result, no other book in the world, has ever been so quoted as the Bible and in particular, the book of Genesis. If you look at the New Te...

Thank you, Fathers!! We LOVE you and appreciate you! ❤ This was a Father's Day message that we believe will bless everyone and we hope you enjoy. "It is not frequent that we hear things like honor, duty, courage, nobility. All of these qualities are being downplayed in our culture. Our moral standards, our ethical standards, our spiritual standards are being dragged down at every turn by the media...

Paul was such a different person before he came to Christ, he was quite a ruthless, quite self-centered, very interested in climbing the spiritual ladder of Judaism. To see the Apostle Paul who previously was a persecutor of the church and was chasing the Christians down and having them arrested, and as a result many of them were martyred because of his involvement. It's an amazing thing to me tha...

Paul comes in he gives corrective doctrine to that false teaching and along the way he begins to introduce a paradigm shift for the kingdom of God and the citizens of that kingdom, among whom are those that believe. So, as those who believe, we are a part of this new paradigm shift and Paul has told us that it changes our theology. He told us it changes our morality. He told us that it changes our...

God is really inviting us to an extreme makeover. He wants to do something extreme. In fact, it's so extreme it's not human, it's divine.  It's beyond the capacity or capabilities of construction crew, or a team of remodelers, or decorators, or engineers.  This is something that only the power of God can accomplish. Enjoy this audio replay from a Sermon pastor Bob delivered 11/20/2016 Blessings, ...

Enjoy this audio file from a full Sunday Sermon Pastor Bob Hallman delivered 11/06/2016  Anyone that claims to live in Christ and yet continues in sin, is a liar, self-deceived deluded. They're lying and the truth is not in them and that's why that message over and over and over and so many of the epistles is the same.  If you are a Christian, if we walk with God, if we've truly been transformed b...
