We can trust the leading of God to take us all the way home to dwell with our Lord foreverAbraham: Father of All Who Believe: The faith of Abraham is the basis for our faith today.

It's been quoted that, "no man is a fool who gives up what he cannot hold, to gain what he cannot lose." In the promises that come to us in Christ, we have lost nothing and gained everything.Abraham: Father of All Who Believe: The faith of Abraham is the basis for our faith today.

Abraham is a story of belief in God - but it is a sacrificial faith. The gospel is free, but invites us to consider the cost. So like Abraham, let us count on God and His promises as more precious than any thing of this world.Abraham: Father of All Who Believe: The faith of Abraham is the basis for our faith today.

Genesis is more than the beginning of time and space. It holds the beginning of faith's story, as exemplified by Abraham. The story of Abraham is at the front of the Scriptures and sets the stage for the entire Bible.Abraham: Father of All Who Believe: The faith of Abraham is the basis for our faith today.

Abraham is spoken of as the "father of faith." He does not generate faith but is a template for all of us. Therefore, one can never fully understand Abraham without seeing him not only encountering the gospel, but encountering Jesus Himself. Abraham: Father of All Who Believe: The faith of Abraham is the basis for our faith today.

Many enjoy sitting around a campfire. It is warm and comforting. It's an entirely different experience to face a raging forest fire. It is justly frightening. Today Dr. John speaks of Israel frightened by the God they follow. His glory and power were overwhelming. It is a necessary reminder that God cannot be confined for our comfort or pleasure. To see Him as He is leads to a fear of sinning. Fear that leads to life.A Desert Experience: In family, marriage or even road trip companions, if you are going to spend time together, you want to learn how to get along. In this series of messages, Dr. John focuses on Israel's experience between the Red Sea and Mt. Sinai. They have been delivered by God and now must learn how to follow, trust and obey God in their midst. The wilderness provided a school for "God-followers" that each of us can learn from. 

Relationships function in a context of trust. That's true in family and society. Today Dr. John looks at the last three comandments. Trust should guard our possessions. Do not steal. Our words to each other must be trustworthy. Do not lie. Respect for one another means we do not covet. The Ten Commandments of God speak to our actions and heart intent. A Desert Experience: In family, marriage or even road trip companions, if you are going to spend time together, you want to learn how to get along. In this series of messages, Dr. John focuses on Israel's experience between the Red Sea and Mt.

Holiness is to guide and shape our relationships; in family, society and marriage. Today Dr. John speaks of the 5th, 6th and 7th commandments. To honour our parents, the life of our neighbour and our marital commitments - these daily obligations are reflections of the righteousness of God. Obedience is a loving response to the values of the life God has created. A Desert Experience: In family, marriage or even road trip companions, if you are going to spend time together, you want to learn how to get along. In this series of messages, Dr. John focuses on Israel's experience between the Red Sea and Mt.

Righteousness speaks to the large matters of life, but also to that which seems small. Today Dr. John teaches on the 3rd and 4th commandments. We will see that the way we speak of God and treat the Lord's Day are matters of righteousness.  Our speech and use of time reflect God's Holiness. They are matters of holiness for us as well. A Desert Experience: In family, marriage or even road trip companions, if you are going to spend time together, you want to learn how to get along. In this series of messages, Dr. John focuses on Israel's experience between the Red Sea and Mt.

Today Dr. John begins to teach on the Decaloge - the Ten Commandments. At the very start, we learn of the exclusive primacy of worshipping God and the manner of worship obliged to Him. The first two commands are grounded in this biblical truth - God has made us; we do not fashion God. A Desert Experience: In family, marriage or even road trip companions, if you are going to spend time together, you want to learn how to get along. In this series of messages, Dr. John focuses on Israel's experience between the Red Sea and Mt.
