Welcome to the Word of the Lord endures forever with Pastor Will Whedon.

So you can see that God doesn't merely see the present like you or I do.

He always sees the whole story, which means that to him, Abraham holds in his loins the seed that will be transmitted from generation to generation until finally

promisee Jesus through whom all the nations of the entire world will be blessed.

The Word of the Lord endures forever is a daily verse-by-verse Bible study with the church,

Pastor Whedon is leading us in a study of the book of Genesis, chapters 12 through 23.
