God will be faithful to every covenant and promise He establishes with humanity, but He will fulfill them in His timing not ours, and nothing can prevent it, not even old age. But, we are required to walk faithfully with Him, be totally obedient to what He commands, and His receive with meekness His engrafted word which through its transformative power redefines our identity.

As we close out our study in Genesis 16, let us remember that we have a sure future, based on certain promises, and trust in Him Who not only sees and hears us, but also is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can hope and believe and wait on Him (actively) and be of good courage.

Learn to trust in the promises of God, stand on them, wait on Him, rehearse them in your own hearing. God's timing is perfect, even when you think the promise is in delay. Don't try to help God but follow His instructions. Don't run out on the fight, stand, persevere, and see His salvation.

Sometimes we get impatient waiting on God to fulfill His promises to us, this can lead to doubt or us attempting to take matters into our own hands rather than waiting on His timing. Without faith we cannot please God, faith requires waiting on and trusting in God. Trust helps us know that God sees us and that He will not overlook us nor withhold no good thing from us. When we don’t trust this sho...

God is not slow or negligent in fulfilling His promises; there is a specific, predetermined time for every season under heaven. God has a purpose for every activity and event in life. When God determines something then, it will occur, and in the time appointed for it, not prematurely nor late. We then, must learn to wait on the Lord’s timing trusting that He will do the thing that He has purposed....

We have been shown how trusting God leads to our being made right with Him. In God’s word we have great and precious promises by which we become partakers of His very nature and in how God deals with Abram we see the certainty of God’s promises and how God meets us in our doubt, assuring us of God’s faithfulness and the seriousness of His promises. This trusting in God’s “great and precious promis...

The Spoken Word February 25, 2026 - Impacting lives for eternity through the teaching of God's Word that His people might be established to express and advance His Kingdom.

In this chapter we five core doctrines that underpin our faith, reminding us of its importance, the necessity of leadership, as well as God’s role in guiding and protecting those who trust in Him through all of life’s challenges and obstacles through Abram’s battle, his rescue of Lot, his refusal to depend on the ungodly instead of God, and his encounter with Melchizedek, the priest/king.

We are engaged in spiritual warfare, not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. We have been given weaponry which are not carnal (fleshly or worldly) but are mighty through God for pulling down strongholds, casting down imaginations, and bringing every though into captivity to the o...

Looking at Abram’s life and his walk with God and how God is establishing him as the father of those who live by faith there are lessons to be learned, doctrines that is established and examples we, as heirs of the same promises, that we can be partakers of if we will follow faithful Abram. Can changed his name and his character, which points to how He will change us and our nature to make us prof...

As Christians we are called to follow those who by faith have laid hold to the promises. Abram believed God and it was accounted to him as righteousness. We can look at his walk, how he grows as he continues to follow God's righteous commands and we can learn how to deal with conflict resolution, generosity, faith and the consequences of our choices.

Abram is called by God and God initiates His covenant with Abram. With the call God desires Abram to come out from among his idolatrous people and go to a place. As Abram journeys he encounters difficulty and flees to Egypt, in this decision he is leaning to his own understanding rather than trusting God and he is taught a crucial lesson about the God of the covenant.

How far are you willing to go for God? Make your calling and election sure, then purpose in your heart to go all the way. Relationships are important, especially covenant relationships but they must be prioritized in rank. Our number one priority in life is to the kingdom and the King of that kingdom. In fact, Scripture says “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these t...

We see in this chapter lessons about faith, obedience, and God’s promises. God does not expect perfection from us but He looks for obedience. Abram trusted God’s call and willingly leaves his homeland and family. God promises to bless him, He assures him of divine protection, and promises that his obedience will have a far-reaching impact and the simple act of Abram’s moving forward marks the begi...

God is moving through Genesis toward our redemption. He is setting the stage of choosing a man through whom He can bring forth a seed that will be a blessing to all of humanity. In Genesis 11 we see the genealogy of Shem leading to that of Terah from who will come Abram the friend of God through whom we, if we are Christ's then we are his seed and heir of the same promises God made to him.

Just as God had humanity in mind while He created all that He created; He also has our good in mind when He gives us His commandments. All God’s commandments are for our good because He has a good plan for us; He wants us to lay hold to an inheritance and a hope that will ultimately be consummated in Christ Jesus. But we have a propensity to resist God’s good plan for plans we ourselves conceive,...

Before departing back to heaven Jesus prayed for His disciples, what He prayed is what the Father has always desired for humanity; He says that He had manifested God's name to them given to Him out of the world. He said they have kept Your word; they have believed that the Father sent Him. He asked the Father to sanctify them by His truth, and He prayed that they would be one. The Father wants...

What is the source of human diversity, history and the true origin of the nations? The Bible tells us and outlines it for us tracing it back to the genealogy of Noah’s descendants after the flood. Luke tells us in Acts 17:26 “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the tines before appointed, and bounds of their habitation.” Gene...

Touching lives in the hope of changing the world by leading men to Jesus.

God orders Noah to build and ark for saving of the souls of him and his house, because Noah is righteous in all of his generations. God has a way of rescuing those who will harken to His commands and be diligent to do all He commands. As a result of Noah’s obedience and patience God covenants with him and all of creation. Noah shows us that the proper response to God’s salvation is worship out of...

How do we impact lives for eternity? Through the teaching of sound doctrine according to God's Word. The entrance of God's word brings light and gives understanding, it establishes a new beginning, a new hope based on God's great and precious promises.

In all ages all of humanity receive salvation by one means, it is the gift of God by grace through faith. God makes available to us a righteousness which is of faith. God has declared that the "wages of sin is death" (Rom 6:23), He has committed to judge, and His judgement is not only irresistible, but it is also irrevocable and all of mankind is accountable to Him because He is in absol...

The flood of Noah was an actual event; there are many scientific facts that attest to it and many legends and stories in just about every nation and culture that testifies of it. The was the result of judgement against the wickedness of humanity and the corruption of the earth. Jesus warns us of another impending judgement that will come upon the earth as a result of the same wickedness of man, in...
