Our Scripture Of The Week Is:
Hebrews 10:14 KJVS
[14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Sacrifices under the old covenant had to be repeated over and over. This, according to the writer of Hebrews, is a deliberate aspect of the old covenant, as ordained by God (Hebrews 9:6–10).
These animal sacrifices could temporarily cover human sin, but could not remove it. This repetition, along with other aspects of the old covenant, was meant to point us towards Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the new covenant.
That new covenant was promised, by God, to be something different from the Levitical priesthood, and anchored inside the hearts and minds of the people (Hebrews 8:7–13).
Recently, the writer of Hebrews has been specifically referring to repetitive animal sacrifice, which is inferior to the single sacrifice given by Jesus Christ.
Psalm 40 was quoted to show that God Himself contrasted offerings and sacrifices with the use of a "body" to accomplish His will.
The work Jesus did on the cross, then, becomes the fulfillment of that promise. The use of the term "perfected" here should be taken in the usual biblical context: as a reference to maturity and completion.
This is not a reference to sinlessness, since even Jesus—who had no sin (Hebrews 4:15)—is said to be "perfected" in a sense by God as He performed the Father's will (Hebrews 2:10).
Instead, this echoes the idea presented in Hebrews 7:25: that Christ's sacrifice can do, completely, what the animal sacrifices of the old covenant could only do partially.

sisters and brothers in Christ, tospread God's love and create disciples. Our
vision to share all resources that wouldaid in the knowledge necessary for the building
of God's kindom. The adversary doesnot know what to do with those who
possess integrity. We are not humanbeings on the spiritual genre, on the
(01:34):
cordentrarty, we are spiritual beings ona human general. With that being said,
we will open this holy by thestudy session up with prayer. So
please join in, Oh Holy eternalFather, Son, Holy Spirit. It
is once again that we coming toyou as humble as we know how,
realizing that old heavenly Father you havefilled the world with beauty. Open our

whole creation, we may learn toserve you with gladness for the sake of
him through whom all things were made, Your son, Jesus Christ, our
Lord, Thank you for your continuedgraces and mercy. We pray these things
(02:23):
in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen. All right. Our scripture
of the week is Hebrews Chapter ten, Verses fourteen or verse fourteen, King
James version. For by one offeringhe hath perfected for ever them that are
(02:47):
set sanctified. All right, Now, sacrifices under the Old Covenant had to
be repeated over and over and overand over. And this, according to
the right of Hebrews, is adeliberate aspect of the Old Covenant as ordained
by God. According to Hebrews Chapternine, verses six through ten. Now,
(03:12):
these animal sacrifices could temporarily cover humansin, but could not remove it,
and this repetition, along with otheraspects of the Old Covenant, was
meant to point us towards Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the Covenant uh the New
Covenant, and the New Covenant waspromised by God to be something different from
(03:37):
the lovitical priesthood and anchored inside thehearts and minds of the people, according
to Hebrews chapter eight, verses seventhrough thirteen. Alright, recently the writer
of Hebrews has been specifically referring torepetitive animal sacrifice, which is inferior to
(04:00):
the single sacrifice given by Jesus Christ. Now, Psalm chapter forty was quoted
to show that God himself contrasted offeringsand sacrifices with the use of a body
to accomplish his will. The workJesus did on the cross then becomes the
fulfillment of that promise. The useof the term perfected here should be taken
(04:24):
in the usual Biblical context. There'sa reference to maturity and completion. This
is not a reference to sinlessness,since even Jesus, who had no sin
according to Hebrews chapter four, versefifteen, is said to be perfected in
a sense by God as he performedthe Father's will, and this is in
(04:46):
of course, to Hebrews chapter two, verse ten. Instead, this echoes
the idea presented in Hebrews chapter seven, verse twenty five that Christ's sacrifice can
do complete what the animal sacrifices ofthe old Covenant could only do partially.
Now, our topic today is Godgives Abraham a new name discussion. Abraham's
(05:13):
story jumps ahead thirteen years from theend of the previous chapter, and as
far as we know, Abraham hasnot heard from God at least in any
special way since the birth of hisson Ishmael to Cevihi's servant girl heygd and
the Lord now appears to a ninetynine year old Abram, who is in
(05:36):
his waiting, has decided that perhapsIshmael is the child of God's covenant promises.
After all, God will make clearerto Abram that that is not the
case. For the first time inscripture, God refers to himself as God
Almighty el shut out, and thisis a name meant to establish God's power
(05:56):
here on earth, even over natureand in all and in the life of
Abram and Sir Rai as well.And God begins this new contract or contact
rather with Abram with two commands.Walk before me faithfully and be blameless.
Literally, God commands Abram to walkinto Lord's presence and to be of such
(06:18):
good character before God that no validcharge of wrongdoing can be brought against him.
This is unlike other times when Godspelled out his promises to Abram.
He begins this conversation by placing theexpectations on ablem to live a life worthy
of his covenant relationship with God.And we're not meant to understand that Abram
(06:41):
was sinless, l lessly perfect,or that he could become so. This
only means that God expected Abram tocenter every aspect of his life around honoring
the Lord. God now restates thathe will make his covenant between himself and
Abram and will multiply him exceedingly andgreatly by increasing Abram's numbers. And the
(07:09):
next verse or the next verse iswill reveal that Abram received this country,
this covenant promise from God very reverently, and at the same time, he
also wants to understand how this couldhappen After all, Abram was ninety nine
years old at this time according toGenesis chapter seventeen, verse one, and
(07:33):
it has been thirteen years since thebirth of his only child Ismael. Through
this his servant hategard in according toGenesis chapter sixteen, verse sixteen. And
it has been twenty three years sinceGod began making these repeated promises according to
(07:53):
Genesis chapter twelve, verse four,which do not seem to line up with
Abrams every day. God has askedAbram to continue to believe. This time,
though God will ask for even more. Abram's response in this verse is
entirely appropriate. He fell face downbefore the Lord. Throughout history, in
(08:16):
many cultures, this has been theultimate expression of humility and submission. In
one gesture, Abram communicated to Godthat he would receive all that God was
saying with humility and great reverence.Although God does not require it of us,
many believers today continue to approach Godin prayer while kneeling or lying face
(08:41):
down on the ground. Later,when God provides details on how he will
accomplish his promises, Abram will onceagain fall on his face. At that
point, however, it would bein laughter and disbelief. God's suggestion that
a ninety nine your old man,and a baron eighty nine your old woman
(09:03):
will have a child would be quitea shock, according to Genesis chapter seventeen,
verse seventeen. Now, to thispoint, Abram has demonstrated a willingness
to honor God and to follow himeven when he's unsure of every detail.
Now, God continues to covenant promise. Specifically, God says Abram will be
(09:24):
the father of many nations. WhileGod has promised before this. While God
had promised before this to give Abramcountless offspring, this is the first time
God describes Abram as the patriarch ofmultiple nations, and it won't be the
(09:46):
last time though. In fact,in the next verse, God will declare
a change in Abram's name, signifyingthis great future. Now, finally,
after twenty three years, according toGenesis chapter four, as well as Genesis
(10:09):
chapters well Genesis chapter twelve, versefour, as well as Genesis chapter seventeen,
verse one, and many struggles,the man known as Abram will take
on the name by which he istruly remembered Abraham in Genesis chapter seventeen,
verse five. And now in moderntimes, specific names are not always thought
(10:33):
to be very important. Parents typicallychoose names based on how they center or
how they look in writing. Themeaning of names for the modern area is
almost never an important consideration. However, in ancient times, names were often
given by parents to describe their livesthey hoped their children would fulfilled. In
(10:56):
other cases, they were used asdeclarations of past events and now, God's
change of Abram's name at the ageof ninety nine year the old was highly
significant. The name Abraham, givenby Abram's father Tira, means exalted father.
It was likely meant to suggest thatAbram came from a royal line.
(11:20):
Now this new name, Abraham sendssimilar to the Hebrew phrasing meaning father of
a multitude, exactly matching God's revelationof what Abram would become. Now,
this name change required another act offaith from Abraham. He would have asked
people to call him Abraham. Hewould have had to ask people to call
(11:45):
him Abraham to refer to him asa father of a multitude. Now,
would he feel foolish telling people ofhis new name as a ninety nine year
old man with just one son bornof a servant girl, Or would his
new name increase his confidence that God'spromise was reliable. You tell me,
(12:16):
do you have the complexion for theprotection. It is now time for our
life reflection. All right, theLord told Abram, I Am al Shahda,
God Almighty, serve me faithfully andlive or blaming this less life.
(12:37):
God has the same message for ustoday. We are to obey the Lord
in every respect and aspect of ourlife, because he is God. That
is reason enough. If we don'tthink the benefits of obedience are worth it,
consider who God is the only onewith the power and ability to meet
(12:58):
our every need? Why did Godrepeat his covenant to Abram m twice before?
He had mentioned this agreement in Genesischapter twelve as well as Genesis chapter
fifteen. Here, however, Godwas bringing it into focus and preparing to
carry it out. He revealed toAbram several specific parts of his covenant.
(13:24):
First of all, God would giveAbram many descendants. Secondly, many nations
would descend from him. Third ofall, God would maintain his covenant with
Abram's descendants. And fourth, Godwould give Abram's descendants the land of Catenance.
(13:48):
Now, in the Bible, people'snames were very important. A name
often described a person's character or experience. Therefore, shortly before the promised son
was conceived, God changed Abram's name, which means exalted father, to Abraham,
which means father of many or fatherof a multitude. All right,
(14:13):
now, from this point on,the Bible calls him Abraham. Check this
out out out all right hmm.If you happen to find yourself wanting to

man? It's now time to answercomments from HBS and DWJ website. We
(16:15):
ready, so just scream for us. Scream for us one, two three,
scream. Alright, we got thatscream like the watte. Time to
start it up, crank it up. Time to answer some comments from the
HBS and DWJ website. Alright,First of all, we're gonna start with
(16:37):
Stepan Evanoff. Stepon Evanoff says,just a note on the side. I
found it interesting that old nations hada cultural thing in calling their children a
synonym for what they want and thinkthey will become. Here in Bulgaria,
we still do this, but Ifind it goes away with the younger generation.
(17:03):
The source is me Stefan. Itmeans wreath and it's held three days
after Christmas on the twenty seventh ofDecember. We have name days here for
all the Bulgarian names. Those symbolicdates and names were put together perfectly by
the older generations, and I thinkthis is part of the topic. You
(17:26):
see at ninety nine years old,now Abram can go from a father of
many to a multiple father. Iexplain this as a game. If he
is Abraham, father of nations,he can be seen as leader of king,
he owns a big domain, andat ninety nine he can have more
(17:48):
one more son, which is viewedin that same time as air. How
do we look at the children aspossibility? It is something new and full
of potential. The child can growand become someone or surpass me as a
parent. If we use the sameway of thought, we can see that
(18:11):
now the father of many can becomethe father of kings, the emperor.
We stick to the game rule thefather of multitude. A captivating story.
Again, this, of course,isn't the only option for finding a meaning
in the story. Genesis is socool for that it has so many core
(18:33):
movements, or so many core momentsconnecting to other moments from different parts of
the book. I absolutely loved itall right. Well, hello, there
is Stefan Ivanov. Thank you foryour interest in this HBS and DWJ information
platform. Thank you for stopping byas well as your participation. God speed
(18:56):
to you, and blessings my friend. All right, let's move it along
to Angel cee nine O three.Angel ce nine O three says, Hello,
I don't know if Abraham came froma royal lineage, but according to
the Book of Jubilees, Torah workedfor the king of Babylon and made idols
(19:18):
for the people. And it's funnyhow names reveal your destiny. Before his
name meant exalted father, probably thathe was the glory of his father,
But now his name means father ofmany, meaning that he would father many
children in the faith. This isamazing. All right, Hello, Angel
(19:40):
ce nine O three, thank youfor taking the time to come in on
this portion of study in this episode. And blessing is my friend. All
right, let's move it along toJake Zachary. Jake Zachary says, the
story of Abraham epitomizes the struggle wego through trusting God. We're all excited
in church or listening to a compellingsermon, but when action is required to
(20:04):
support the faith. It is ournature to be doubtful or overthink the process,
just like Abraham did. Trusting theprocess is one of my favorite sayings,
and we can use this story asa lesson to do just that,
trust his process. Thanks for theBible study. All right, Hello Jake
(20:25):
Zachary, thank you so much foryour time. I agree with you one
hundred percent. Trusting the process willget us where we should be in life,
with no strings attached. You're mostcertainly welcome for the holy Bible study
and blessings, my friend. Allright, let's move it along to Persindu
Demanca. Percindu Demanca says, yourexploration of Abram's name change and its significance
(20:52):
in the context of God's Covenant isthought provoking. It's fascinating how a changing
name symbolizes a deeper spiritual transformation anda renewed purpose. Have you encountered similar
instances in other religious texts where aname change signifies a significant shift in someone's
life or purpose. I find thesesymbolic changes across different faiths incredibly intriguing.
(21:18):
In my personal experience, I've seenname changes in cultures to mark important life
stages or shifts in identity. Thisconnection between a change in name and a
change in destiny resonates across various traditions. How do you think this transformation through
renameing correlates with our modern understanding ofpersonal growth and transformation. Your exploration of
(21:45):
these historical and spiritual aspects is enlighteningand prompts deeper reflection. Thank you for
sharing this insightful perspective on Abraham's namechange and its spiritual implications. Alright,
ready, hello, and welcome backto Sindou. Name changes, most often
given by God, establishes their newidentity and the purpose God wants his user
(22:10):
to embody. And in the OldTestament we see the changing of names for
the purpose of cultural assimilation. Allright now, as with Hannah, Naia,
Michelle, and Azariah, they hadto change their Hebrew names to Chaldean
names, in which where shad Rack, Mishak and the bat Nigo Now in
(22:33):
the New Testament, it was commonfor a Jew to have two names.
One name was Hebrew and one namewas Greek. In fact, the apostle
Paul never changed his name. Saulwas his Hebrew name and Paul was his
Greek name. Now the name givenby God is the name that will lead
us to God's promises. Now,God changed Abram's name to Abraham, Sarah
(22:57):
rise to Sarah, Jacobs to Israel, and Simon's to Peter. Through those
names, God gave new beginnings,new hopes, and new blessings. So
thank you so much for continuing tostop by, and you are welcome for
the sharing of this information and blessings. My friend. All right, let's
(23:21):
move it along to abstract Allen abstractAllen says, Hello, HBS and d

Mashiah. The hits keep coming.So how could you not believe that God

would bless you with a son,regardless of your age if you have literally
spoken to God, That of courseis coming from somebody who wasn't there.
Jesus spoke to his disciples. Theyare in the flesh, perform miracles for
the masses, and yet was crucified. I am confused about how people reacted
(24:26):
back then, but I'm not surewhat I would do either. Sorry,
got off on a tangent. Ilove how you broke down each verse.
It was actually very helpful and revealing. I was browsing your sight and I
will stop again, stop in again. It looks like you have a bunch
(24:47):
of content stored up. Thank yourespectfully, Alan aka Abstract Alan. All
right, hello again there, Alanaka abstract Alan. There are a lot
of changes that must be made andchallenges that must be overcome for growth to

of the week is Hebrews Chapter ten, Verses fourteen or verse fourteen, King

(02:47):
set sanctified. All right, Now, sacrifices under the Old Covenant had to
be repeated over and over and overand over. And this, according to
the right of Hebrews, is adeliberate aspect of the Old Covenant as ordained

these animal sacrifices could temporarily cover humansin, but could not remove it,
and this repetition, along with otheraspects of the Old Covenant, was

to Hebrews chapter eight, verses seventhrough thirteen. Alright, recently the writer
of Hebrews has been specifically referring torepetitive animal sacrifice, which is inferior to
(04:00):
the single sacrifice given by Jesus Christ. Now, Psalm chapter forty was quoted
to show that God himself contrasted offeringsand sacrifices with the use of a body
to accomplish his will. The workJesus did on the cross then becomes the
fulfillment of that promise. The useof the term perfected here should be taken
(04:24):
in the usual Biblical context. There'sa reference to maturity and completion. This
is not a reference to sinlessness,since even Jesus, who had no sin
according to Hebrews chapter four, versefifteen, is said to be perfected in
a sense by God as he performedthe Father's will, and this is in
(04:46):
of course, to Hebrews chapter two, verse ten. Instead, this echoes
the idea presented in Hebrews chapter seven, verse twenty five that Christ's sacrifice can
do complete what the animal sacrifices ofthe old Covenant could only do partially.

Genesis chapter twelve, verse four,which do not seem to line up with
Abrams every day. God has askedAbram to continue to believe. This time,
though God will ask for even more. Abram's response in this verse is
entirely appropriate. He fell face downbefore the Lord. Throughout history, in
(08:16):
many cultures, this has been theultimate expression of humility and submission. In
one gesture, Abram communicated to Godthat he would receive all that God was
saying with humility and great reverence.Although God does not require it of us,
many believers today continue to approach Godin prayer while kneeling or lying face
(08:41):
down on the ground. Later,when God provides details on how he will
accomplish his promises, Abram will onceagain fall on his face. At that
point, however, it would bein laughter and disbelief. God's suggestion that
a ninety nine your old man,and a baron eighty nine your old woman
(09:03):
will have a child would be quitea shock, according to Genesis chapter seventeen,
verse seventeen. Now, to thispoint, Abram has demonstrated a willingness
to honor God and to follow himeven when he's unsure of every detail.
Now, God continues to covenant promise. Specifically, God says Abram will be
(09:24):
the father of many nations. WhileGod has promised before this. While God
had promised before this to give Abramcountless offspring, this is the first time
God describes Abram as the patriarch ofmultiple nations, and it won't be the
(09:46):
last time though. In fact,in the next verse, God will declare
a change in Abram's name, signifyingthis great future. Now, finally,
after twenty three years, according toGenesis chapter four, as well as Genesis
(10:09):
chapters well Genesis chapter twelve, versefour, as well as Genesis chapter seventeen,
verse one, and many struggles,the man known as Abram will take
on the name by which he istruly remembered Abraham in Genesis chapter seventeen,
verse five. And now in moderntimes, specific names are not always thought
(10:33):
to be very important. Parents typicallychoose names based on how they center or
how they look in writing. Themeaning of names for the modern area is
almost never an important consideration. However, in ancient times, names were often
given by parents to describe their livesthey hoped their children would fulfilled. In
(10:56):
other cases, they were used asdeclarations of past events and now, God's
change of Abram's name at the ageof ninety nine year the old was highly
significant. The name Abraham, givenby Abram's father Tira, means exalted father.
It was likely meant to suggest thatAbram came from a royal line.
(11:20):
Now this new name, Abraham sendssimilar to the Hebrew phrasing meaning father of
a multitude, exactly matching God's revelationof what Abram would become. Now,
this name change required another act offaith from Abraham. He would have asked
people to call him Abraham. Hewould have had to ask people to call
(11:45):
him Abraham to refer to him asa father of a multitude. Now,
would he feel foolish telling people ofhis new name as a ninety nine year
old man with just one son bornof a servant girl, Or would his
new name increase his confidence that God'spromise was reliable. You tell me,
(12:16):
do you have the complexion for theprotection. It is now time for our
life reflection. All right, theLord told Abram, I Am al Shahda,
God Almighty, serve me faithfully andlive or blaming this less life.
(12:37):
God has the same message for ustoday. We are to obey the Lord
in every respect and aspect of ourlife, because he is God. That
is reason enough. If we don'tthink the benefits of obedience are worth it,
consider who God is the only onewith the power and ability to meet
(12:58):
our every need? Why did Godrepeat his covenant to Abram m twice before?
He had mentioned this agreement in Genesischapter twelve as well as Genesis chapter
fifteen. Here, however, Godwas bringing it into focus and preparing to
carry it out. He revealed toAbram several specific parts of his covenant.
(13:24):
First of all, God would giveAbram many descendants. Secondly, many nations
would descend from him. Third ofall, God would maintain his covenant with
Abram's descendants. And fourth, Godwould give Abram's descendants the land of Catenance.
(13:48):
Now, in the Bible, people'snames were very important. A name
often described a person's character or experience. Therefore, shortly before the promised son
was conceived, God changed Abram's name, which means exalted father, to Abraham,
which means father of many or fatherof a multitude. All right,
(14:13):
now, from this point on,the Bible calls him Abraham. Check this

man? It's now time to answercomments from HBS and DWJ website. We
(16:15):
ready, so just scream for us. Scream for us one, two three,
scream. Alright, we got thatscream like the watte. Time to
start it up, crank it up. Time to answer some comments from the
HBS and DWJ website. Alright,First of all, we're gonna start with
(16:37):
Stepan Evanoff. Stepon Evanoff says,just a note on the side. I
found it interesting that old nations hada cultural thing in calling their children a
synonym for what they want and thinkthey will become. Here in Bulgaria,
we still do this, but Ifind it goes away with the younger generation.
(17:03):
The source is me Stefan. Itmeans wreath and it's held three days
after Christmas on the twenty seventh ofDecember. We have name days here for
all the Bulgarian names. Those symbolicdates and names were put together perfectly by
the older generations, and I thinkthis is part of the topic. You
(17:26):
see at ninety nine years old,now Abram can go from a father of
many to a multiple father. Iexplain this as a game. If he
is Abraham, father of nations,he can be seen as leader of king,
he owns a big domain, andat ninety nine he can have more
(17:48):
one more son, which is viewedin that same time as air. How
do we look at the children aspossibility? It is something new and full
of potential. The child can growand become someone or surpass me as a
parent. If we use the sameway of thought, we can see that
(18:11):
now the father of many can becomethe father of kings, the emperor.
We stick to the game rule thefather of multitude. A captivating story.
Again, this, of course,isn't the only option for finding a meaning
in the story. Genesis is socool for that it has so many core
(18:33):
movements, or so many core momentsconnecting to other moments from different parts of
the book. I absolutely loved itall right. Well, hello, there
is Stefan Ivanov. Thank you foryour interest in this HBS and DWJ information
platform. Thank you for stopping byas well as your participation. God speed
(18:56):
to you, and blessings my friend. All right, let's move it along
to Angel cee nine O three.Angel ce nine O three says, Hello,
I don't know if Abraham came froma royal lineage, but according to
the Book of Jubilees, Torah workedfor the king of Babylon and made idols
(19:18):
for the people. And it's funnyhow names reveal your destiny. Before his
name meant exalted father, probably thathe was the glory of his father,
But now his name means father ofmany, meaning that he would father many
children in the faith. This isamazing. All right, Hello, Angel
(19:40):
ce nine O three, thank youfor taking the time to come in on
this portion of study in this episode. And blessing is my friend. All
right, let's move it along toJake Zachary. Jake Zachary says, the
story of Abraham epitomizes the struggle wego through trusting God. We're all excited
in church or listening to a compellingsermon, but when action is required to
(20:04):
support the faith. It is ournature to be doubtful or overthink the process,
just like Abraham did. Trusting theprocess is one of my favorite sayings,
and we can use this story asa lesson to do just that,
trust his process. Thanks for theBible study. All right, Hello Jake
(20:25):
Zachary, thank you so much foryour time. I agree with you one
hundred percent. Trusting the process willget us where we should be in life,
with no strings attached. You're mostcertainly welcome for the holy Bible study
and blessings, my friend. Allright, let's move it along to Persindu
Demanca. Percindu Demanca says, yourexploration of Abram's name change and its significance
(20:52):
in the context of God's Covenant isthought provoking. It's fascinating how a changing
name symbolizes a deeper spiritual transformation anda renewed purpose. Have you encountered similar
instances in other religious texts where aname change signifies a significant shift in someone's
life or purpose. I find thesesymbolic changes across different faiths incredibly intriguing.
(21:18):
In my personal experience, I've seenname changes in cultures to mark important life
stages or shifts in identity. Thisconnection between a change in name and a
change in destiny resonates across various traditions. How do you think this transformation through
renameing correlates with our modern understanding ofpersonal growth and transformation. Your exploration of
(21:45):
these historical and spiritual aspects is enlighteningand prompts deeper reflection. Thank you for
sharing this insightful perspective on Abraham's namechange and its spiritual implications. Alright,
ready, hello, and welcome backto Sindou. Name changes, most often
given by God, establishes their newidentity and the purpose God wants his user
(22:10):
to embody. And in the OldTestament we see the changing of names for
the purpose of cultural assimilation. Allright now, as with Hannah, Naia,
Michelle, and Azariah, they hadto change their Hebrew names to Chaldean
names, in which where shad Rack, Mishak and the bat Nigo Now in
(22:33):
the New Testament, it was commonfor a Jew to have two names.
One name was Hebrew and one namewas Greek. In fact, the apostle
Paul never changed his name. Saulwas his Hebrew name and Paul was his
Greek name. Now the name givenby God is the name that will lead
us to God's promises. Now,God changed Abram's name to Abraham, Sarah
(22:57):
rise to Sarah, Jacobs to Israel, and Simon's to Peter. Through those
names, God gave new beginnings,new hopes, and new blessings. So
thank you so much for continuing tostop by, and you are welcome for
the sharing of this information and blessings. My friend. All right, let's

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
