A Bride is Chosen for the Son Part 2

May 14, 2024

Do you enjoy a good love story?  We've got one for you today!  It’s one of the all-time greats, and it’s found in Genesis 24.  If you’re married, how did you and your spouse meet? Perhaps a good friend set you up on a date, maybe you met at church, or ran into each other at some sort of gathering?  Consider how the Lord brought Isaac and Rebecca together.  It’s really amazing.

When someone we love and adore dies, it’s heart-wrenching.  We grieve and the hurt is hard to put into words.  And you may even wonder how you can go on!  Today on Abounding Grace we’re going to talk about the reality of death, and how to deal with it as God would have us.  In Genesis chapter 23 Sarah dies and is buried.  How Abraham responds to this gives us some clues on how to cope and where our hope is found.
