Genesis Part 63: A Grave in the Promised Land (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Genesis Part 63: A Grave in the Promised Land In Genesis 23:3–20, Abraham purchases a burial place for Sarah—the first piece of land he possesses in the Promised Land. Though God had promised him the whole land, Abraham died having seen only a small portion of that promise fulfilled. This sermon explores how faith lives faithfully in the present because it trusts God with the future. Abraham shows us that faith waits without entitlement, pursues God’s promises with honesty and integrity, and tak
Genesis Part 62 — Grieving With Hope (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Genesis Part 62 — Grieving With Hope In Genesis 23:1–2, we see Abraham grieving the death of Sarah. Her death reminds us that faith does not exempt us from sorrow, loss, or death. Yet Scripture teaches us that believers do not have to grieve without hope. In this sermon, we explore how Christians can mourn honestly while holding firmly to the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Grief is not a failure of faith, and tears are not evidence that God has abandoned us. Lament is faith bringing our pain into
Genesis Part 61 — The Lord Will Provide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Genesis Part 61 — The Lord Will Provide In Genesis 22, Abraham is tested as he takes Isaac, his beloved son and son of promise, to the place of sacrifice.

Isaac is spared, but Christ—the beloved Son of God—is not. At the cross, Jesus willingly gives Himself in the place of sinners, bearing the judgment we d
88th Anniversary Sunday (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On August 23, 2026, First Baptist Church of Boron celebrated its 88th anniversary by looking not merely at what has been built over the years, but at who has been building the church: Christ Himself. From Psalm 127:1–2, we were reminded that unless the Lord builds the house, our labor is ultimately in vain. The health and faithfulness of a church are not finally measured by its age, size, activity, or visible success, but by whether the Lord is building His people through His Word, His grace, an
Genesis Part 60 | Abraham and Isaac: Faith That Trusts God (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Genesis Part 60 | Abraham and Isaac: Faith That Trusts God Why does God test His people? What does genuine biblical faith look like when obedience is difficult? In Part 60 of our Genesis Bible study, we examine the powerful account of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22:1–19 and discover that faith obeys when obedience is costly because it trusts that the God who made the promise cannot fail to keep it. This sermon explores how God tests the faith He has already formed, why Abraham obeyed without de
