I’m finished with the Book of Genesis and I feel encouraged. Why? Because what happened in Genesis happens today! One of the reasons the book of Genesis may have been written is to give us encouragement? You may remember that God promised that Abraham would become a great and powerful nation(Gen 18:18,19)? Yet when Abraham [...]

Envision this : A middle-aged woman is in the grocery store. Sad. Depressed. Life is not giving her any breaks. She is checking out the red grapes as she notices a harried woman rushing through the store. Miss Harried Woman leaves her cart to grab a bag of red grapes and turns back to her [...]

God is sovereign even though we are a fallen people. . . I was reading Genesis 27 the other day and I noticed something odd. In Genesis 22 Abraham offered Isaac, his only son, as a sacrifice to God. He didn’t know there’d be a ram in the thickets and that God would tell him [...]

I was reading Job 1 the other day. Pondering his thought in Job 1:21a : we leave this earth naked, like we came into the world. And that his thought was directly after losing his herds, servants and all his children! He then praised God (Job 1:21b)!!! Society has taught us to want more. Therefore, [...]

These are my notes from a sermon preached by Dr. Stephen Davey a few years ago. Sin will deceive your mind and control your body. We must do battle now with the flesh daily (Rom 7:18). The more you do unholy things, the easier it is for you to do more unholy things. The believer [...]

This lesson is from Ken Rudolph. If you ever get the chance to hear him speak, do it! He spoke during the summer series at our church about how not to miss a miracle. My notes are short, but to the point! Confess our anger and give our expectations to God (Mark 6). Confess your [...]

Today I read Gen 19. The chapter that talks of Lot in Sodom. Lot chose to move to Sodom. He chose to live in a sinful environment with sinful people. And he didn’t really want to leave when the Lord told him to. I know what you are saying – we are all sinners. I [...]

This lesson comes from Dr. Stephen Davey, from back when he was speaking in the book of Romans. This information is taken from my notes and is not the direct content of the message itself. Rom 4:7 talks about forgiveness. Being sent away, to have taken away. The Lamb of God who takes away the [...]

My reading for 2010 is the Bible in chronological order – pray that I’ll keep to it DAILY or it won’t happen… This morning as I read the first chapter of Genesis, I noticed God’s attributes–or rather the attributes He didn’t have. He wasn’t harried or frazzled. Details from His TO DO list were directly [...]

My BSF leader, Angela Vaughn, taught the other day that Jesus offers mankind forgiveness. Any believer knows that. But sometimes these simple truths are easy to forget. Or easy to ignore. Or easy to not embrace. Let me talk today about the power and penalty of sin from my point of view. Angela got me [...]
