Abraham: Following God's Promise

Intro: Welcome friends. I’m excited to share with you a passage that has been on my heart for the last month or so. The story of Isaac and Rebekah. It is a story of a marriage that only God could orchestrate. It is a story of provision in God providing for the continuance of His chosen nation. It is…

Intro (Lighthouse / Navy ship joke.) I’m about to tell a joke. You may have hear it before. But if you have, please be kind and laugh at the end anyway. There was a ship at sea on a foggy night. Seeing a light out in front too close for comfort… Ship: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North…

As we approach the days to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, we must learn about the prophetic texts that teach…

Today we are wrapping up this six part study of the Good News called, “Life in 6 Words.” We get these six words by using the word “Gospel” as an acrostic. As a way of review, let’s walk through these six words one final time… G - God created us to be with Him. ( Genesis 1-2 ) O - Our sins separate us…

We come back this morning to the longest chapter in Genesis— Genesis 24 . It’s an incredible account, marking the important shift in the story of God’s people. The focus is changing, as generations change, from Abraham to Isaac. We read not quite half of Genesis 24 last week. In Genesis 24 , the Hero…

Sarah has passed away. Abraham is now very old . The focus of the Genesis account now begins to shift to Isaac, the only son of Abraham and Sarah, the son promised to them, the son through whom all the blessings of the promise will come. The focus is no longer on Abraham as such, though he’s still involved…

Last week we witnessed the death of Sarah, and Abraham’s interactions with the pagan sons of Heth in the purchasing of land in order to bury his dead. Today’s going to be done a bit differently. We will be reading large chunks of Scripture in order to make it through the entire chapter. It is a historically…

Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. Who is Sarah? Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she…

Alliteration is not my thing… I am more of a practical say it as it is kind of guy. However it just came out better today as we look closer at part two of Land Love & Legacy. We took an overarching approach last week to these three chapters of the epilogue of Abraham’s life and I would like us to look…

LEGACY = Has been defined as… “A gift, something transmitted by or recieved from an ancestor or predecessor, or someone given special status because of a familial relationship.” THE GIFT = we will be considering is the blessing from God to Abraham to Isaac and the descendants to come.

Genesis 1:1 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Introduction The book of Genesis is the book of beginnings, it describes where we came from, it declares what is wrong with us, it discloses where we are going It lays the foundations of human institutions Now unlike any other time…

Unusual Characters Used By God Isaac Needs a Wife It all started well and good.

So today we find ourselves in a new sermon series working our way through the book of Genesis. The Blessing. We heard a lot about The blessing in our last study of Abraham and Sarah. It traces back to God’s promise in chapter 12 where God said: Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your…

ME: There’s a cultural phenomenon going on in our world today called “cancel culture”. What it says is that if you express views that are contrary to those acceptable by a particular group - whether that be a group of friends, a business, a media channel, a government official, you can be locked out…

We are back in our study of the book of Genesis today. In our series THE PROMISE, we come to Genesis chapter 19 today. If you have read the text or are familiar with the story, you can probably understand why I’m always tempted to focus on the sin of the outsiders in texts like this. They are so obvious…

That may Some things to notice: The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Most of us read this verse and we probably don’t think much about what we read. But if you were a Jew, the word LORD would spark all sorts…

Yet God blesses them The temptation when we look at someone like Abram is “What about me? ” I come to church, I try to do the right things… i”m not…
