Guest Speaker Eric Wood preaches on the story of Abram, Sarai and Hagar. He invites us to see that the brokenness inside is met with a God who sees and hears us.

There is a cost in entering any relationship! In this chapter we consider what it would cost Abram, what it will cost God and then what it will cost you. This covenant process demonstrated that God would pay the price for humanities failures in the relationship with God.

On the day Jesus resurrected from the grave, he went out of his way to walk with two people who had given up hope and were headed home. The heart of the risen Jesus patiently seeks those prodigal sons and daughters to graciously reveal who He is to them. The question is, do you recognize him?

Guest speaker Dale Smith walks through the battle of kings and the interaction of Abram with a King of Salem who appears out of nowhere to bless Abram and offer him bread and wine! God calls, empowers and should receive the glory!

As Abram and Lot return from Egypt with lots of possessions, life gets uncomfortable and they separate. Lot to a place that he sees as good land even though it is full of wickedness and will end in destruction. God gently leads Abram to be right where He is calling him to be. The absolute best place to be is right where God calls you!

In this pivotal chapter, God calls a man named Abram to use to bring about blessing to the world. God calls people with nothing to offer, who are a work in progress and full of doubts and fears because God is gracious, patient, and merciful! If God can use a broken man like Abram, he can use you!

Slava Bogu! When humanity gives glory to God they find their peace, meaning and goodness. When people try to glorify themselves, when nations try and make a name for themselves it leaves behind a trail of brokenness, isolation and pain.

Guest Speaker Geoff Hart teaches on the table of nations that changes our perspective of others in the world. We are all "cousins" that should long for reconciliation. He spends the last half of the messages sharing about Hispanics for Christ, a ministry Hollyview partners with.

Noah is given a second chance to start again in this recreation account, only to fall into the same pattern of sin as Adam, the same pattern that we all fall into. The good news is that God steps into the story and makes a covenant of grace with humanity. It's not a promise that one day humanity will get it right but that God will make a way to break the power of sin. The sign of this covenant is a bow God hangs in the clouds.

There is a purpose in every storm the Lord allows you to walk through. The flood narrative presents a picture of God working in Noah's life in preparing him to walk by faith, protecting him in the ark in the middle of the storm, and producing in him a heart of praise. God is at work in the storms of your life as well!
