Abraham, a Friend of God

The salvation of all nations hinges on us and our understanding of what it mean to be a "whole covenant Christian", receiving and then spreading abroad the blessing of Abraham the father of faith.

Have you ever thought that Lot may have left Abraham because of the failures that he had seen in Abraham's personal life? For sons and daughters who are tempted sometimes to turn away from their parents, Mr. Bates helps us to look above and beyond our "Abraham" to the God of Abraham.

Knock With Persistence!

When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He told them a story about someone who had encountered an unexpected need. This example is a powerful illustration of the command to ask, seek, and knock.

Do you need a living example of what it means to walk with God? We hear it said "Trust the Lord" but what does it mean, really? How do we live by faith? God gives us Abraham, Sarah, Ishmael and Isaac to show the answer to the one question which all believers seem to have in common.
