Genesis 19:1-29 Two angels went into Sodom in the evening. Lot, Abraham’s nephew, was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw the two “men” he went to them and invited them to his home for the night. They refused saying they would stay in the town square overnight. Lot insisted they come home […]
Who do you “go to bat for” when you know they are in trouble? Abraham knew his nephew Lot lived in Sodom. And he also knew that the LORD was the Judge of all the earth. Would the LORD judge Sodom for the sake of ten righteous people? Three strangers stopped by Abraham’s tent and […]
Genesis 18:1-15 Abraham and Sarah found out that nothing is too difficult for the LORD. Have you found that out yet? Impossibilities are all around us… but never discount the LORD making all things possible. Jesus said during His ministry: “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.” Luke 18:27 Abraham extended […]
The LORD’S covenant with Abraham was sealed with the sign of circumcision. Spiritual circumcision is of the inner person, the heart. Romans 2:29 “But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, […]

The LORD grew Abram’s faith in Him and His word. We all start out with a small seed of faith but are we growing in our faith in God? The LORD came to Abram after Abram and his allies had a great victory over their enemies. Genesis 14;1-24 The LORD used a vision (not a […]
Out of fear, do you ever, EVER, do something which you were not authorized to do? But you thought it sounded like such a good idea and you thought it would get you out of a dilemma? That’s what Abraham did! Abraham was told by the LORD to go to Canaan. God did not […]
“Watch” the progression of faith in Abraham, the patriarch of the Jewish people. God Himself called Abraham while he still lived in Ur of the Chaldes (that’s the area of Babylon, Iraq today). Abraham obeyed, kind of. He did leave Ur and without a map or GPS. He went forward into an adventure of living […]
Genealogies are more important to some people than to others. The Jewish people were very careful to record their genealogies. As it happens, that is important today!
