A Trustworthy Statement

Jim Leffel
Romans 9:31

Paul leads us through his statement on why we can be confident in God's promises to us. God has not chosen us to improve us, He wants to make us entirely new and the be heirs to His promises. God has provided for us in every way so that we can live for God and go out and represent Him to the world and share Christ without fear.

Striving with God

Ryan Lowery
Genesis 28:12-32:30

Most human relationships are based on conditional love, and many of us relate to God this way as well. Jacob wrestled with God throughout his entire life, trying to force God into his will. But God has a different way that He wants to relate to us, and He does this by showing us an example of unconditional love. Instead of demanding a blessing from God, we must learn to see and believe that we have already been blessed.

Who Do You Think God Is?

Lee Campbell
Genesis 22:1-18

Sometimes, God will test the faith of His followers in order to both refine and show what they believe about Him. In the binding of Isaac, Abraham goes through extreme testing. This incident foreshadows the work of Christ in a powerful way. Like Abraham, our response to testing is determined by who we think that God is.\r\n

Abraham and Lot

Ryan Lowery
Genesis 19:24-29

Abraham started out as a man who barely knew anything about God but was still wiling to trust in His promises. He witnesses God's dealing with Sodom and Lot as a lesson in God's character. Ultimately, this teaches him how God's mercy and justice work together. In the end, Lot serves as an example of compromised faith, while Abraham serves as an example of God's faithfulness to those who trust Him.\r\n

Abraham and Melchizedek

Ryan Lowery
Hebrews 7:1-12

Melchizedek is a little-known character in the Bible, but he ends up being crucial in fulfilling God's promise to Abraham and his plan to save the world. The story of Melchizedek demonstrates both the internal consistency of Scripture and the incredible commitment of God to keep his promises.

God's Promise to Abraham

Paul Alexander
Genesis 22:17-18

Much of Biblical history stems from God's covenant with Abraham, wherein He promises: 1) a land for him; 2) to make a nation out of his family; 3) to bless him; 4) and to use his descendants to bless the world. Over the course of history, God has kept all of His promises. Abraham's choice to have faith in God made him right with God. In light of this, our response should also be to trust God.

Walking on Water

Scott Risley
Matthew 14:22-33

When the disciples saw Jesus walking on water toward their boat, Peter called out to Jesus, who invited him to come out of the boat and join Him on the water. But Peter took his eyes off Jesus and onto the waves and storm around him and began to sink into the waves. When we have a horizontal focus, we only see the danger but when we have a vertical focus, our problems seem more like challenges. As Peter began to sink, he called out to Jesus who reached out and rescued him. Be like Peter, get out of the boat, focus on Jesus, not the dangers, and call out to Jesus.
