Episode 165: Kings Clash, Abram Attacks, and Who is Melchizedek???

​

In this episode of The Today Counts Show,  we dive into the action-packed chapter 14 of Genesis. Genesis 14 reads like a blockbuster script—rival kings go to war, Abram launches a daring rescue mission, and out of nowhere, a mysterious priest named Melchizedek steps onto the scene.

​

In this episode, Jim and Winston break down the wild twists of this often-overlooked chapter. Why does Abram risk it all to save Lot? What’s the deal with these ancient coalitions? And seriously—who is Melchizedek, and why does he matter so much in the story of faith? If you like ancient drama, divine strategy, and spiritual gold hidden in plain sight, this one’s for you.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

Don’t be a fool by fooling yourself.

God gives everyone a measure of faith.

What separates us from one another is what we do with that faith.

Do we exercise it so that it grows?

Do we realize that the strength of our faith is based upon the object of our faith?

In other words, our faith is as good as where we invest it.
