The Lord Will Provide

Book Cover & Preview Text
Is anything to hard for God? This is a question to which our lives revolve. This is also a question that every human being has to answer. Is God able to do what I need God to do? Is what I’m going through too difficult for God? This is a question that is quintessential to our faith. If we answer, “Yes, what I’m going through is too hard for God,” then we do not confess God as God. If we answer, “No, nothing is too hard for God” then this answer places trust in God. Not only does it place trust in God, but it also gives God the freedom to do what only God can do.

About the Book
Genesis 11:30 says, “Now Sarai was barren; she had no children.” It seems as if the family of Genesis has come to an end. Yet, God speaks directly into this situation. There is good news. Abram and Sarai will have a child. This journey from barrenness to childbirth begins with the faith of Abram. Barrenness is the condition of much of humanity today. There are many today who are empty and desolate. However, God is calling the barren by name. If the barren respond faithfully to God’s call, their barrenness will turn into fruitfulness. The Lord will provide! The Lord Will Provide traces the steps of Abraham from the time the Lord called him to leave home for a land that the Lord would show him (Genesis 12:1) to the time he proved his willingness to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:1-14). It details Abraham’s constant struggle with faith and doubt and then compares Abraham’s faith and doubt with that of humanity. The Lord Will Provide was preached as a seven sermon series in 2010 to commemorate the 125th Anniversary of Mount Moriah Baptist Church.
