Nobody had a more striking inheritance than the Israelites, right? Or so it would seem. Because if that’s truly true, why do their chosen-ness, their Mosaic Law, and their many deliverances by God seemingly work to create a stumbling block to believing, to His designed salvific faith in Christ for all? And what about Abraham, who’s written about in multiple verses in the New Testament as to his amazing faith and father to us? Join Kevin as we dive into the inheritance inspired by folks like Abraham back then and like serious believers this very day! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

A devotional study about how God keeps His promises to be with us, even when friends and family forsake us, and look at us differently than they did in the past. 

Genesis 31:1-2 KJV
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, “Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.” And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

'The Ministry of Jesus' Sermon Series

Matthew 17:24-27

24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?” 25 “Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own sons or from others?” 26 “From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
