About this listen

How do I live in today’s world as a Christian and not only live but thrive in the gifting, calling and love of God? Join me as we journey together through entire books of the Bible, studying with the understanding that the people in the Bible were real people and had minds and emotions like us. We are going to study their stories to find the truths that apply to our lives today. The key is to meet Jesus and encounter Him so we can be changed by Him more and more into our true selves, not hampered by sin and fear. We will occasionally have guest speakers who will expand on the topics we find in our Bible study together, but most of the time we will go verse by verse, chapter by chapter through a book of the Bible to learn, apply and respond to God. Even the tough topics and verses will be explained and discussed!Copyright 2023 All rights reserved. Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Spirituality

    In this episode of Love God First, we delve into the complexities of family dynamics, particularly focusing on the story of Hagar and Ishmael from the Bible. I share a little about growing up in a divorced family and the challenges faced by single parents. Through the account of Hagar's experience, we emphasize the hope and redemption that God offers and the extra grace and care God gives to those in single parent situations. This episode explains the biblical account from Genesis 21, and then next week we will discuss the application and lessons from Hagar's example.
