The easiest way to get discouraged from the difficult path you are on is to look back. After all, if the road ahead is so hard, wouldn't it be easier to go back to where you were before? But Pastor Jeff encourages you today to stay on the straight-and-narrow path God has called you to! Abraham knew that God's promises ahead were greater than the challenges he would face on his journey. He was able to stay the course and become the father of a great nation, all because he didn't look back!
There are thousands of foreign missionaries serving around the world, doing work God has called them to do to bring the Good News to people who might not hear it otherwise. But let me tell you from experience, it takes a great amount of sacrifice to fully uproot your life and follow after God's calling. Pastor Jeff wants to teach you today that Abraham didn't just have to say “yes” to follow God. He had to depart from the only home he had ever known and leave his friends and relationships behind!

Get your notepad ready and your bible opened we are diving in!We pray this episode is a blessing to you and you are elevated in the word!
Send us Fan MailThe hardest moments are the ones where the facts feel final. We look at Abraham at 99 and Sarah at 90, stare straight at the words “as good as dead” and “barren”, and ask the question that sits underneath so many real-life trials: what do you do when natural hope looks gone, but God has made a promise?We take our cues from Romans 4 and the way Abraham thinks clearly without collapsing into unbelief. He considers his body, he considers Sarah's womb, he does not pretend the problem isn't there and yet he does not weaken in faith. That distinction matters if you're dealing with pressure around marriage, kids, finances, conflict, or a decision that keeps you awake at night. We also keep coming back to Romans 8:28, not as a slogan, but as a practical place to plant your feet when you can't map the outcome.Along the way we talk about the Bible as your “road book”, why nothing beats the living word of God, and how to build a real relationship with the Father through prayer and time in Scripture. If you're not sure where to start reading, we share simple guidance for new believers and remind you that faith is not fantasy, it's substance you can hold on to.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a mate who needs steady hope, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Send us Fan MailControl feels like safety until it turns into anxiety you can't switch off. We start with Abraham because his life shows what faith really looks like when God calls you forward but refuses to hand you the full itinerary. Abraham obeys the call, steps into the unknown, and learns that the promise of God can carry more weight than the pressure of circumstances.We also get practical about discernment and spiritual leadership. Yes, we follow Jesus first, and we can learn from pastors and leaders who genuinely imitate Christ, but we never outsource our responsibility to the Word of God. We talk about why it matters to write down the Scriptures you hear, look them up for yourself, and keep your faith anchored in what the Bible actually says, not what you hope it says.From there, we go straight to the heart level issues: the need to be in control, the way emotions can overwhelm us, and why surrender is not weakness but worship. Abraham's journey becomes a picture of relationship, learning to hear God, and letting trust grow step by step. We connect it to Romans 4 and Romans 5:1, showing how Abraham points forward to the New Covenant reality of being justified by faith in Jesus, not by religious effort. We finish with “hope against hope”, because hope builds faith when life looks impossible, and we tee up a part two for what people often raise about Abraham's failures.If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a mate who's wrestling with uncertainty, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Good morning, good afternoon, wherever you are in the world - Welcome to Grapevine Ministries.

Xavier Sanjivi, C.Ss.R., leads an insightful exploration into the life of the patriarch Abraham as part of the Who's Who in the Bible series.In this session, he examines three key elements of Abraham's journey: the covenant made with God, the promise of a child, and the promise of land. Highlights include an explanation of the "covenantal cut," the significance behind the renaming of Abram and Sarai, and the miraculous birth of Isaac.Beyond history, the video provides spiritual reflections on maintaining faith through challenges, the importance of being prepared for divine encounters, and the truth that nothing is impossible for God.

Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Roger
We're half way through Genesis! This week, Pastor Roger looks at chapter 25. Don't trade what matters—eternal covenant, calling, and legacy—for the immediate pleasures of appetite or convenience. Using Abraham's final decisions, God's faithful movement across generations, and the Esau–Jacob episode, the sermon argues that small, habitual choices form destiny and that finishing well requires clarity, trust, and intentional handing off of spiritual momentum. -Featuring Roger Hirth

We pray this episode is a blessing to you and you are elevated in the word!
Tune in as Pastor Bryan unpacks the longest chapter in Genesis. Chapter 24 is presented as a layered story: a historical account of how Isaac met Rebekah, a covenantal bridge for Abraham's promise, and a typological foreshadowing of the gospel. The sermon unpacks the chapter through four characters—Abraham, the servant, Rebekah, and Isaac—drawing practical lessons for discerning God's will and living by faith. -Featuring Bryan Ost
We're going deeper this morning!
Part 2 is here! Join us LIVE this morning as we continue The Blessing of Abraham. Make sure you're tuned in—this is building!
Faith in God doesn't always yield immediate results. Though His promises are sure, sometimes we must be willing to walk away from all we know and wait steadfastly for God to fulfill all He has promised.
Part 1 of The Blessing of Abraham—don't miss this. Step into a deeper understanding of God's favour, covenant, and promises for your life. Join us and come expectant.
Effective faith requires assurance ( a settled confidence) and conviction (an inner certainty), both of which Abraham had. Believing God, he put feet to his faith and followed the Lord to Canaan.
This week Pastor Roger looks at the second half of Genesis 22 and all of Genesis 23. He looks at how Abraham experiences the grief of Sarah's death-- intentionally, deeply-- and then appropriately moving on. We see in these chapters what it looks like to have hope in the midst of life's challenges, looking to our hope of a future with God. -Featuring Roger Hirth
Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Roger
Tune in as Pastor Ray unpacks Genesis 21:9-22:14 where he unpacks two scenes-- Hagar and Ismael in the wilderness of desperation and Abraham and Isaac on the mountain of testing. Where human provision runs out and where things don't make sense, God provides. Ultimately, God provides Himself. In Christ, we have all we need! -Featuring Ray Grubbs
Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Ray and Fam
Part 3 of Broken People—Famous Faith explores the life of Abraham, showing that real faith is trusting God enough to step out—even when you don't know where you're going. His story reminds us that famous faith isn't perfect, but it's rooted in obedience and built on the unshakable foundation of God's promises.
Pastor Loïs unpacks Genesis 20 to contrast the tension found between Abraham and Abimelech to show how we often rationalize sin. In our mess-ups, God intervenes and extends mercy. We then hear of the birth of the promised son, Isaac in Genesis 21:1-8. It's finally happened; God was faithful to His promise! -Featuring Loïs Renaud
How do you actually know what you're supposed to do with your life?Most of us are waiting for clarity. Maybe a sign or a clear direction. Something that tells us exactly where we're going before we take a step. But what if that's not how it works at all?In this episode, Josiah walks through one of the earliest stories in the Bible, where Abraham is told to leave everything familiar without being told where he's going. Not as a punishment, but as the starting point of a real relationship with God. This conversation explores why purpose often feels unclear, why we want answers before trust, and why waiting for certainty might actually be the thing holding you back.
How do you actually know if God is first in your life? Well, the answer is a test.In this episode, Josiah walks through one of the most controversial stories in the Bible, where Abraham is asked to give up the thing he loves most. Not to show blind obedience, but to reveal something deeper about how faith actually works. Why the biggest spiritual moments often feel like tension and how to tell what you truly trust.If you've ever felt like following God doesn't make sense, or like He's asking too much, this conversation is for you.
Let's listen as Pastor Bryan unpacks Genesis 19. This may indeed look like a bleak story but it is full of God's mercy. Here we unpack four dramatic scenes that show the importance of keeping our eyes on Jesus through the windshield of life instead of trying to "walk into resurrection life while staring into yesterday's mirror." -Featuring Bryan
Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Bryan
This sermon was preached by Derek Overstreet on April, 12th, 2026.
God makes Abraham a promise. Abraham believes it. And then Abraham and Sarah decide to help God out a little, just to make sure it actually happens. What follows is one of the messiest, most relatable moments in the entire Bible, and honestly, most of us are living our own version of it right now.This week Isaac walks through what happens when faith turns into control, why the things we add to God to feel more secure are usually the exact things making us miserable, and what it means that in the middle of all that chaos, God shows up specifically for the person nobody else was paying attention to.
What is Included in the Blessing of Abraham? (PART 2)What does it actually mean to live under the Blessing of Abraham?Is it just a spiritual idea?Or does it include real, tangible promises for today?In this teaching, we break down what Scripture says is included in the Blessing of Abraham and how it applies to believers in Christ.
Pastor Roger unpacks chapter 18 looking at Abraham as a friend of God. What does it take to have such a relationship with our Lord and Savior? Abraham embraced the unexpected, displayed humility, and served. Thankfully, Jesus calls us friends (John 15:15) by grace and through faith. -Featuring Roger Hirth

Genesis 12-17
Welcome to the “Wrap Party” where we dive a little deeper into Sunday's message. Tune in as we discuss the sermon. -Featuring Pastor Loïs
As Pastor Loïs continues our series, we get into a key passage of Genesis, the covenant God makes with Abraham. Tune in as Pastor Loïs unpacks what impact this has for us today. We see in Abraham a model of trust in the promises of God. Here, a promise God makes to uphold both sides of the covenant. The LORD swears by Himself, there is not higher authority! We can trust His faithfulness! -Featuring Loïs Renaud
Many of us have a version of spiritual anxiety we don't talk about. The fear that if we're not doing enough, believing hard enough, or living right enough and God is going to reject us. This week, Josiah goes back to one of the oldest stories in the Bible and finds an answer that most people completely miss."In this message, I borrowed heavily from two messages that have deeply impacted me: the first is from Pastor Tim Keller in his teachings on Genesis 15. The second was from Pastor Dan Gregory in a message he gave at Momentum Youth Conference on John 8. I would HIGHLY recommend you listen to these on your own! I attached them below." - JosiahTim Keller - https://gospelinlife.com/sermon/abraham-and-the-fire/Dan Gregory - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKmVgEdlLcA&t=1961s
