Many people in this world manipulate things behind the scenes to get what they want. This is nothing new, as this week’s passage from Genesis about Rachel and Jacob stealing the blessing Isaac intended for Esau will show. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shows how the main characters of this story, including Isaac, tried to scheme to get things their way and how we often do the same.
As Isaac grew up and moved on in his life, God met him and made the same promises to him He had made to his father Abraham. In this week’s passage, Pastor Scott Gourley shares what we can learn from these stories in Genesis.
After starting out so strong, Isaac and Rebekah’s life and family turn away from God and make idols of each other. This dysfunction ends up costing Esau everything, and it leads to major contention between Jacob and him later. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley explains the importance of surrendering our lives and families fully to Christ.
As Christians, we acknowledge that the Lord is sovereign, but what does that mean, and how far does His sovereignty extend. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley explains how God is sovereign in all tings.
This world seems to be in utter chaos, and many people think that no one is in control. As Christians, we know God ultimately is in control and Jesus is still King of Kings, but sometimes even knowing that, we wonder if God really is at work. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley explains just how we as Christians can find rest in the fact God ultimately reigns over everything.
As we continue the story of the transition between Abraham to Issac in Genesis, we see not only the faith of Eliezer but that of Rebekah as she goes with him to become Isaac’s bride. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley explains what we can learn from Rebekah in this passage.
While we often reflect of the faith of Abraham, we rarely consider the faith of those who served under him. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shows how Abraham’s chief servant Eliezer showed great faith when he went to find a wife for Isaac.
Where do we turn when things get rough? While most of us might like to think we turn to the Lord, we often tend to turn to earthly things, whether they be family, friends, or distractions. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares why we should turn to the Lord whenever troubles come our way.
There are times where we want to do anything but worship the Lord, and yet we are commanded to do so over and over in scripture. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares why we can worship the Lord no matter the circumstance.
We live in a world where many people take pride in rebelling against God, and this can be disheartening for those of us who follow Him. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley reminds us that God will indeed one day bring Justice to the proud but uphold those who humble themselves before Him.
