Battles, Blessings, and Christ

June 23, 2024 • Stu Fuhlendorf • Genesis 14

Lot is taken captive after separating from Abram, and the four kings invade the Jordan Valley. Abram's encounter with the kings of Sodom and Salem provides insight into his future aspirations and how God works through promises for His people.

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.

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

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