Internet Bible Study - Chapters 12

A new lesson has been added.

CHAPTER 12 - WHY DID HE DO THAT? – A RESPONSE OF FAITH
This is the first of three topics discussing examples of motives for giving that please God. Abraham’s willingness to offer his son Isaac as an offering to God is examined to discern what motivated his actions. Abraham’s offering above all else was an offering of faith. He was willing to give Isaac because he believed God. He knew that God would either provide an alternative sacrifice or raise Isaac from the dead. He establishes a human example of giving without reservation with the belief that God will provide.
Reference Scripture:
Genesis 22: 1- 15 (Abraham willing to sacrifice Isaac)
Supporting Scriptures:
Hebrews 11:17 – 19 (Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead)
Genesis 15:1 ( I am your shield, your very great reward)

Introduction - Tommy Gathen - A Song Writer's Heart

I want to introduce you to Tommy Gathen. Tommy is another anointed brother in Christ. I met Tommy while he was a member of my local church. Tommy was a founding member of the ensemble named "GBW". The name was an acronym for the church's mission: Glory God, Buildup the saved, Win the lost. At that time, it was easy to see that God was nurturing the musical gift He had planted in Tommy. In addition to playing the piano and singing, Tommy continued taking piano lessons seeking to pursue excellence in his craft. Tommy and his family moved to Tennesse a number of years ago but he continued to work out that which God had planted in him. He now serves as the Minister of Music for his local church and through diligent effort has birthed his first formal musical project entitled " A Song Writer's Heart". The project is under the "Majestic Kingdom Melodies Entertainment" label.

The CD is a compilation of Christian Love Songs, Worship Melodies and contemporary soulful instrumentals. Tommy wrote/arranged all of the songs (except the Lord's Prayer of course). Several other vocalists are featured performing the songs. The music is very fitting for weddings, banquets, or just quiet times of meditation.

I have created a link to the label's website as I expect this to simply be the first of many projects. Enjoy!
