Genesis chapter 23
Too often we trust God with some things but when it comes to other things we lack faith in Him.

Genesis chapter 22
I love this passage of Scripture, this is one of the most direct passages that points to Jesus. It shows what God would do for us with his son Jesus.

Genesis chapter 18
In this passage Jesus shows up and Abraham invites him to dinner. What it shows is the character of Abraham, when it came time to serve The Lord, Abraham gave Jesus his best.

Genesis chapter 17
God revealed Himself to Abram and calls him to obedience. He tells him to walk before him and be blameless. God then establishes his covenant with him and changes his name to Abraham. What this shows is that when you give you life to God he changes you. He takes out your heart of stone a gives you a new heart. So he changes his ( Read more... )
