Hi and welcome back to another episode of the Truth Seekers podcast.

A Truth Seaker is someone who wants to know the truth.

They search for what's true and they won't rest until they find it. I am a truth seeker and if you are

too then you've come to the right place where we will search for truth each week in the

Isaac was now the head of the family and he was to receive the promise that God had made long ago with his father.

The Lord appeared to Isaac and said,

and I will be with you and I will bless you to you and your

descendants I will give all these lands and I will make the same promise to you that I made to your

father Abraham I will make your descendants as numerous

as the stars in the sky and I will give them all these lands and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed.
