A Demonstration of Total Depravity

August 18, 2024 • Stu Fuhlendorf • Genesis 19

God underscores the reason for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah – the total depravity of the people. The men of Sodom are contrasted with Lot, who seeks to protect visitors from being sexually molested. It’s an attitude that parallels that of Abraham.

Note: Due to the subject matter, this sermon will be PG-13 and above for those watching online with kids.

Finish the Race Strongly

September 22, 2024 • Stu Fuhlendorf • Genesis 22:20–24

This genealogy is a line of demarcation that divides the main story of Abraham and serves as an appendix pointing to a life lived well. The special reference to Rebekah leads to the upcoming events for Abaham’s progeny, which will have both blessings and sufferings.

God Tests Because He Loves

September 15, 2024 • Stu Fuhlendorf • Genesis 22:1–19

In one of the most moving episodes in the Bible, God’s interaction with Abraham climaxes with an important divine oath of conditional promises that are unconditionally guaranteed as a result of Abraham’s preparedness to obey God and sacrifice his son. The foreshadowing of a loving father’s willingness to sacrifice his son points straight to Jesus.

A Promise to Remember

September 8, 2024 • Stu Fuhlendorf • Genesis 21:22–34

God’s everlasting promise continues to come to fruition as Abimelech attributes Abraham’s success to God alone…”God is with you in all that you do.” We find an expansion of the concept of covenants and treaties to prevent conflict between parties.
