As we gather around Genesis 23, we come face to face with the universal language of grief and the quest to honor our loved ones in their passing. This episode tenderly unpacks the profound sorrow of Abraham following Sarah's death, alongside the delicate negotiations for her final resting place in Canaan. Sarah's legacy, as the only woman with a recorded age in the Scriptures, stands as a testament to her distinguished role as a mother of faith. We trace the emotional contours of Abraham's mourning, his astute transactions with the Hittites, and the anticipatory echoes of a heavenly city designed by God—a vision that resonates through time to the New Jerusalem in Revelation.

Turning the pages of this biblical chapter, we examine the resonant importance of Abraham securing a burial site, an act of such weight that it's mentioned thrice in the text. The podcast explores the legal and social parallels between the ancient transaction and today's laws,  reflecting on the deeded property that becomes a cornerstone for the Israelites' claim to the land. As we close this intimate session, we pave the way for the journey into Isaac's life, continuing to weave the rich tapestry of Abraham's enduring legacy.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18  “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.” 

The three main points discussed in the sermon :

1) God does not want believers to grieve death and dying the way unbelievers do.

2) Jesus is coming back the same way he left

3) All believers in Messiah will be raptured.

Jesus upset the entire Jewish religious establishment by whom He associated with and how he related to the world. 

Christ was purpose driven. He came to deliver God's message of repentance and faith and glorify God through his love for mankind at the cross.

The lifestyle of a disciple is to be built on principles of faith that glorify God and build His eternal kingdom, not rules and regulations that protect our our own kingdoms.

God has called his disciples to make disciples of all nations, not to be his isolated, protected people. 

In this session we look at what it means to live with your own convictions before God, to not judge others, and grow toward maturity.

When we first gave our hearts to the Lord we began a journey of surrender.

Is what we say with our lips what we do in our life?

God wants us to know in the depths of our heart that He has set us free from sin and death. That when He looks at us, He sees the righteousness of Jesus.

What is Biblical Faith?

What is "The Faith" preached by Jesus and the apostles?

Today the word faith is used and misused in many ways. It can be easy to misunderstand what faith is, what Biblical faith is.

Since it is through faith in Jesus that we are saved, it is important to clarify what the Biblical definition of faith is.

Rom 10:8-10 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);  because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

The book of Esther is set in a secular culture where many different groups of nations have been conquered. The nation of Israel has stopped practicing their faith openly and even Passover is no longer celebrated.  Sound familiar? There are great lessons of faith and grace to learn from Esther and Mordecai.

It took a threat of genocide on Israel in order to trigger outward signs of faith and repentance from God's people. When the church has placed its value in this life, the wake up call for the church is the destruction of this life.

Have YOU come into God's kingdom for such a time as this?

Even after believing in Christ we tend take our understanding of trust from a broken world into our relationship with God. 

God is faithful. He never changes. He is always with us. He wants the very best for us. He always keeps his promises. 

Today we examine 2 Timothy 2:11-13 which is one of Paul's five trustworthy sayings in his epistles. These were well known sayings in the early church as concise expressions of gospel truth.  .  In our Scripture today we see that God has always been keeping his promises and is faithful forever.

John chapter 1 verses 1 through 13. 

Both Biblical teachers and philosophers have looked to the Bible for knowledge and wisdom.  Many people have placed their hope in the Word's of Scripture. John begins today by telling us that in the beginning was the Word. John wants us to understand that the Word of God is  is some One personal. 

Today we look at four points in this passage.

1) Jesus IS God
2) Jesus is the Light and the Life
3) Man is sinful
4) Faith in Jesus Christ alone saves

In a world that is turned upside down, God's Word never changes.  

Evil leaders claim deadly protests are essential yet demand  church gatherings are not.  Unjust laws oppress the righteous while the wicked continue without restraint.  For the body of believers it becomes a struggle to know what to do, it was the same for the Hebrew church. 

God's Word shows us the confidence we have to live out his kingdom in the middle of difficult times and ultimately that God's Kingdom is all that is essential. 

Hebrews 10:19-25 declares this confidence on how we can through a new and living way, draw near to God. That we should continue in fellowship more and more as we see the day of Christ at hand.

In a world that has lost its way and no longer understands love, God breaks through and show us the way.

 The prophet Isaiah said "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"

We start by looking at how all of us have redefined love, how we live in a culture that has redefined love, and find how we can love others through faith in Jesus Christ and the power of His Spirit.

A critical teaching for those looking to live out their faith.
