The Priest That Doesn’t Go Home

We've seen Abraham's relationship with God grow since God called him out from his country and his people. And in this section, Abraham pleads with God face-to-face. And what's astonishing, is he pushes and pushes and pushes.  And God keeps agreeing. Come this Sunday to hear what this shows us about Abraham and what it shows us about God.

Why Did Sarah Laugh?

In chapter 18 of Genesis, three men appear at Abraham's tent and one of them is the Lord!  And they're not so much interested in Abraham as in previous encounters, but in Sarah!  And her response is to laugh.  Come to New King and find out why Sarah laughed.

God, you want me to do what?!

In Genesis 17, God Almighty appears to Abram to "double-down" on his covenant of the promised seed. Giving Abram the sign of the covenant: circumcision. In spite of Abram's unfaithfulness and lack of integrity, God reaches down in faithfulness and integrity renewing his covenant with Abram. 

From Doubt to Distrust

Everyone deals with doubt. We learned in Genesis 15 that God is gracious to us, assuring us of his promises. But what happens when we allow our doubts to turn into sin? Genesis 16 teaches us what happens when we turn to expediency rather than waiting on the promises and purposes of God. 

God Dispels Our Doubts

If there's one thing true about our Christian life, it's that we all deal with doubts.  We doubt God and we doubt ourselves.  And Abram, the Father of the Faith, is no different.  Join us this Sunday for chapter 15 of Genesis where Abram voices his doubts to God and God responds in two amazing ways.

Assurance of the Promise

Last week, in Genesis 12, we saw the call of Abram and God's sevenfold promise to him. Abram obeys God's calling but quickly shows that he does not fully trust God's promises. In Genesis 13 and 14 we will see how Abram's faith increases as God deepens the trust and relationship between them. Join us this week as we discover faith-building truths about our God Most High!

The Call of Abram

Join us this Sunday as we move into the next section in Genesis, "God of Promises."  We'll begin by looking at the call of Abram in Genesis 12:1-9 to leave his country, his family, and his father's house. How does Abram respond to a call to "leave it all behind?" How would you respond to such a call?

Stairway To Heaven?

One of the most popular rock and roll songs of all time is Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven".  It came out over half a century ago and it describes "a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven."  Understandably, that song caused a stir in the Christian community when it came out- we know we can't buy our way to Heaven.  This week, we look at a story that came out thousands of years ago describing a people who wanted to build a tower to reach Heaven, the Tower of Babel, in Genesis 11:1-9.  What was their purpose? What were they trying to achieve?  How did God respond?  And how should we, the Christian community, respond today? 

The Flood and the Fear of God

It’s easy to think of the story of Noah and the flood as little more than a good children’s Sunday school story. But Jesus, and the inspired authors of the New Testament, saw it as having much more significance than that. So, how did they think about the flood and how should we? That’s what we’re going to learn this Sunday as we explore the connections between the flood in Noah’s day and the coming judgment at the end of this age.

Understanding God’s Blessings

We often look to physical blessings when we look for God's hand on our lives but how often are we to see spiritual blessings for what they truly are? Join us Sunday as we look at the story of Cain and Abel and see how Abel's faith can be an encouragement to us today.
