Teaching by Tag: Manipulation

In the Beginning, Part 40: Appeasing Esau

In the Beginning, Part 40: Appeasing Esau

March 31, 2019 Mike Minter Sermons Genesis

Manipulation doesn’t relieve us of our problems; it just creates more problems. Our good deeds never erase our bad deeds.

In the Beginning, Part 36: The Power of Providence

In the Beginning, Part 36: The Power of Providence

February 3, 2019 Mike Minter Sermons Genesis

Providence does not condone the wrongdoing of men, but it does leverage the wrongdoing of men. Man’s schemes are no match for the providence of God.

In the Beginning, Part 32: Lean Not on Your Own Understanding

In the Beginning, Part 32: Lean Not on Your Own Understanding

December 2, 2018 Mike Minter Sermons Genesis, Proverbs

Our understanding is unsafe if it is not aligned with Scripture. Unlike Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, or Esau, we must trust in the Lord with all our hearts.

Watch / Listen
In the Beginning, Part 31: Family Manipulation

In the Beginning, Part 31: Family Manipulation

November 25, 2018 Mike Minter Sermons Genesis

It is never right to do a wrong thing so that good may come from it. But man’s sin will never derail the plans of God.

The Patriarchs, Part 8: Jacob’s Blessing

The Patriarchs, Part 8: Jacob’s Blessing

September 6, 2015 Mike Minter Sermons Genesis

As Jacob discovered, even seemingly small sins can lead us far away from the Lord. Yet in His mercy, He will "wrestle" with us to break our self-reliance and point us back to His glory.

Watch / Listen
The Patriarchs, Part 7: Jacob’s Wives

The Patriarchs, Part 7: Jacob’s Wives

August 30, 2015 Mike Minter Sermons Genesis

Deception creates obstruction. And we are ourselves deceived when we seek after what we think will fulfill our hearts' longings, rather than Christ alone.

Watch / Listen
The Patriarchs, Part 6: Jacob’s Personality

The Patriarchs, Part 6: Jacob’s Personality

August 24, 2015 Mike Minter Sermons Genesis

Present decisions determine future consequences. Living for the present will destroy your future.

Watch / Listen
The Patriarchs, Part 5: Isaac

The Patriarchs, Part 5: Isaac

August 9, 2015 Mike Minter Sermons Genesis

The manipulation of man will never trump the sovereignty of God.
