Isaac on the Altar (17 of 34)
by Jerry Vines
Life is a series of tests. I couldn't help but think as I looked over this magnificent group of graduating seniors, that their life is going to be a series of tests. As they move along in various ways and under various circumstances, they will find that their lives will be tested. Abraham is the great man of faith in the Bible. We have already seen that his life is a series of tests as well. When you come to chapter 22,verse 1, you are immediately alerted that what you read here is going to be a test. It says specifically, ''After these things God did tempt Abraham.'' Does that sound a little contradictory to you to what we find in James 1, verse 13...
The Gospel According to Isaac
by Adrian Rogers
I want you to turn to Genesis, Chapter 22, if you will. And you will remember that we began two weeks ago, a brand new series of messages called Portraits of Christ', in the New Testament. And I don't know how long we'll go in this series because, actually, we're just digging out of a bottomless well, and we are just inside the door of a fabulous gold mine, and nugget after nugget is here as we're in this, uh, series of messages dealing with Portraits of Christ in the Old Testament. Never make the mistake of thinking that the Old Testament is about something other than Jesus, and the New Testament is about Jesus...
Well, Well, Well Isaac
by Robert Walker
An American pastor tells a story of a friend who bought some property in India. When he started to clear out an old well dug horizontally into the side of a mountain, he found old machinery, discarded furniture, trash, weeds, bushes and nearly 300 cobras. The next day when he went back to the well he found a stream bubbling out and flowing again! Imagine how precious that was for him and his fami1y, cattle and workers. Isn't that the message of Genesis 26 as God is calling us to re-dig the old wells of the precious, powerful, life giving water of the Holy Spirit? The church has to much baggage such as a lot of sacred cows, trash and weeds...
Isaac and Rebekah: A Family in Discord
by Miles Seaborn
INTRO. Family problems and breakdowns are no new thing. True, they have grown to what the National Family Service Assoc. calls ''epidemic'' proportions and now ranks as America's No. 1 social problem. Billy Graham's magazine, Decision, quotes Dr. George Mace of the University of California as saying, ''The decline of modern marriage has reached the point where the happily married couple seems to be the oddity.'' ILL. BYOB, ''Bring Your Own Bovanac (sic)''. Judge Oz Quickman: no models, positive/negative. He lists the following statistics: ''40% of all US marriages end in divorce, annulments, or desertions....
It's a Boy
by Ken Trivette
1. I want you mothers to imagine something. What if you went to the doctor and he told you that you were going to have a baby and you gave birth to that baby 25 years later. I know what some of you are thinking: 9 months seems like 25 years. 2. In the case of Abraham and Sarah, God told them they were going to have a baby and it was 25 years later when she finally delivered that baby. Furthermore, God gave Sarah a heavenly ultra-sound and told her it was going to be a baby boy 24 years before she was pregnant. 3. For 25 years Abraham and Sarah tried to have a child, prayed for a child, dreamed about a child, and waited for a...
Redigging the Wells
by David Cawston
Introduction: The Bible is history not legend and its stories are there to encourage faith, not merely to repeat folklore. The story of Isaac's struggle to obtain the wells, is a story of passion. It is recorded to remind people of God's covenant, that the promise is only obtained where there is a sufficient desire, a persistent desire. Romans 15:4 4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. (NKJ)This story is for our learning.A. Blessing is always the beginning place for divine commission. Isaac was a man who was a child of promise...
Isaac and Ishmael: A Portrait of the Middle-East Today
by Nelson Price
JESUS CHRIST's birth was the fulfillment of numerous prophecies. One was that He would be a descendant of Isaac. That was a most unlikely reality. By man's standard an impossibility. Who was this man Isaac? On the pages of the Bible he stands out on history's horizon like a mole hill between two mountains. On one side was the summit of his father Abraham. On the other the peak of his son Jacob. Compared to them his life seems insignificant. Yet, as with all things great and small God had a plan for him. Of him God said to Abraham, ''Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac: I will establish My...
Isaac - The Man Who Dug Old Wells (2 of 16)
by Clarence E. Macartney
Once on a summer day, floating down the Ohio River, our boat grounded on the sands of a large and densely wooded island, the largest island in the Ohio, some distance below Parkersburg. Disembarking, we roamed over the island and soon came upon the evidences of a former habitation; fragments of well-cut stones that had once marked the line of a driveway, and here and there the vestiges of a once splendid mansion, foundation stones, broken arches, and fragments of a wall. It was the home the expatriated Irishman Harman Blennerhassett had built for himself and his lady in that island wilderness. Once the hospitality of kings was...
Isaac: A Family Faith (6 of 10)
by Brad Whitt
INTRO: I want you to take God's Word now this morning and be finding your place at Hebrews chapter 11 again if you would. Hebrews chapter 11, and this morning we're going to be looking at verse number 20. Listen to what the Bible says. Hebrews 11:20, ''By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.'' In Hebrews chapter 11 we are given the listing of God's great giants of the faith - which is why we've entitled this series of sermons ''Walking With The Giants.'' Over the past 6 Sunday mornings what we've been doing is simply walking and working our way down through the mighty men and wonderful women who are...
Family Feud (17 of 31)
by Ernest Easley

It shows us how to build our lives on a solid and sure foundation! If you live long enough sooner or later you're going to encounter a crisis, a tragedy, a trial, a storm. It's the storms that reveal the strength of the foundation! And when those storms come across your life, you will be left standing or falling. That's why God has given us the book of Genesis! To show us how to build our life on a solid foundation! We're going to learn today from Genesis 25 about...
Consolation of Divine Blessing (33 of 48)
by Patrick Edwards
Introduction: Stay the course. We're not actually sure where this phrase came from, despite its familiarity in culture today. Some suppose that it originated as a nautical metaphor, meaning to maintain a constant, unfaltering course while navigating. In this context 'stay' refers to the ropes and sheets that hold the 'course' (mainsail) in a fixed position appropriate to the heading. We find citations of this phrase also, however, from the 19th century in reference to horse racing. In this context, 'staying the course' refers to the stamina a horse requires to remain in his line during a race. Some even believe the phrase is as old as...
God is with you (20 of 32)
by Zach Terry
The pessimist reminds us, especially this time of year , "there are only two things that are certain in life - death and taxes". Solomon would argue that there are a few other things we could add to that list. As a matter of fact life seems to be as predictable as a treadmill…Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 (NAS) 9 That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun. As the great philosopher Yogi Berra put it, "Déjà vu, all over again". OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Perhaps there is no better illustration of this fact than in the elite culture experience - American Idol. Last...
A Tried and Proven Way to Nowhere
by Daniel Rodgers
This is a story we all know very well - the story of Isaac turning away from God's clear command, and going down into Egypt, to Gerar. His father, Abraham, had made the same mistake. You would have thought that Isaac would have learned a lesson from his father's lack of judgment and how he got himself into trouble. 2. Let me just say at the outset, the highway of life is littered with the casualties of people who decided to travel in their own direction--without direction from God. Or, if they had direction from God, as did Isaac, they decided to go their own way anyway. That's not too smart! a. Isaac's choice was a "Tried...
Like Father, Like Son (18 of 31)
by Ernest Easley
I'm speaking primarily to our men today. But ladies, there is indeed a message from God to you! Take your Bible and turn please to Genesis 26. The book of Genesis provides for us a blueprint for building a strong and sturdy foundation to build our lives upon! And I pray God that your building your life and home upon the solid rock: the Lord Jesus Christ! Well we come to chapter 26 in our study of the book of Genesis. Now I want to show you today from the Word of God how the sins of a Father are often times passed along to a son! Just as physicians tell us that diseases and physical problems are often passed down from one...
The Principle of the Harvest - Part 2 (3 of 4)
by Stan Coffey
Genesis 26:1-4, 12 (CSV) -- "(1) There was another famine in the land in addition to the one that had occurred in Abraham's time. And Isaac to Abimelech, King of the philistines at Gerar. (2) The Lord appeared to him and said, do not go down to Egypt. Live in the land that I tell you about. (3) Stay in this land as a foreigner and I will be with you and bless you. (4) for I will give all these lands to you and your offspring and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham." (12) "Isaac sowed seed in that land and in that year he reaped a hundred times what was sown."If ever there was a time when people would have been reluctant...
Isaac's Wells (21 of 34)
by Jerry Vines
In the Bible, you will find a recurring phrase mentioned, "of the God, of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." These are three of the great men of faith as recorded for us in God's Word. They are the faithful men of God that God used to carry on the promises of God which ultimately consummated in the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. Isaac is the middle one of that phrase. "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." I introduced Isaac for you last Sunday night and I said to you that there are two words which come to mind when we think about Isaac. The words are ordinary and overshadowed. In a real way, Isaac was overshadowed. He...
