CENTRAL THOUGHTGod keeps His covenant with His people. TEXT: GENESIS 22:1-18, 25:19-21, 26:1-6 Isaac was the son of Abraham and Sarah. He was born when his father was one hundred years old and the mother ninety years. He was a covenant child which God promised Abraham. Ishmael had already been born to Abraham at this time and he was almost giving up hope, thinking that it was no longer possible for him and his wife Sara to have children. Abraham was pleading with God on behalf of Ishmael, Genesis 17:15-18. ” And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.”, Genesis 17:9. God is the covenant keeping God, “what He had promised, He was able also to perform, Romans 4:21b. We can be rest assured that God is too faithful to fail. Whatever promise He makes to us as His children, He will surely bring to pass. He is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He will repent. His word is Yea and Amen.In this study, we shall discuss the birth of Isaac, his growth and progress in life from childhood to adulthood. We shall also highlight some lessons we can...

HYMN: “When we walk with the Lord ” CENTRAL THOUGHTWe must obey God completely and fully in all things. TEXT: GEN. 6:11-14, 22, 12:1-5, 22:1-8, PHIL. 2:5-13, JAMES 1:25 INTRODUCTION:Obedience to God is the total submission of our will to the excellent and perfect will of God. God does not force any one to obey Him but expects it to be voluntary. A study of the Bible reveals that man’s obedience to God’s will, has always brought man happiness, and disobedience, unhappiness. For this reason we have in the Bible an emphasis on obedience. God said, “The things I command you, observe to do” Deut. 12:32. Again, “if you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land” Isaiah 1:19, “for as by one man’s disobedience man were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous” (Romans 5:19).Redemption, which became necessary because of the disobedience of man, was made possible by the obedience of Christ. Obedience is at the center of man’s problem and likewise God’s solution. It is as we study the true meaning of obedience that we see the necessity of it for salvation, blessing, and God-honoring life. There are many things that make man unwilling to obey God....

CENTRAL THOUGHTA successful and happy Marriage springs from genuine heart agreement and unalloyed love of the couple. HYMN: “ Blest be the tie that binds ” TEXT: EPH. 5:21-25, TITUS 2:4, PSALM 127:3-5 INTRODUCTION:Certain factors account for a successful and happy marriage. First, is the love burning with the fire of divine love in the heart of the couple, that brought them to the precious unity in marriage. There should be continued protection of that vital unity with “walls” of love: loving words; loving deeds; demonstration of spirit of forgiveness, and mutual tolerance.Marriage will be successful and happy if the couple keeps confidence. This helps to preserve unity as they keep their private matters within themselves and within their home if in God.Settle conflict or misunderstanding at once. There is no doubt that two people from different backgrounds living together, are bound to have misunderstanding. When it occurs, it should be settled that same day. Apostle Paul counsels “ Let not the sun go down on your wrath…” (Eph. 4:26). If at the heat of an argument, the husband or wife breaks down and says “I’m sorry” for the unkind words or deeds, that settles it.The successful and happy marriage also has the blessings of children. The Bible says,...
