What do we know about God?
God is
++Omnipotent _All Powerful_
++Omniscient _All Knowing_
++Omnipresent _Everywhere Present_
Can we do anything to stop or hinder God’s purposes?
The Power of Position
This biblical recording would typically have the heading
++Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed
++Sodom’s Depravity
++God Destroys Sodom
++God Rescues Lot
The focus
++Wickedness
++Judgment
++Mercy
God’s justice is anchored in a known standard of conduct
God’s standard is known in everything He has created
We were not created
++To be ungodly
++To be unrighteous
We are made
++In the image of God
++To be like him
++To be godly people
God has provided no one an excuse for ungodliness
God’s legal standard did not begin with the Law
The law was given
++Not only to reveal God’s standard
++To confirm them in us
++As a witness to what we already know
This story does not begin here
Life presents Choices
Lot chose to follow Abram
Abram had little to offer
++His name ment High Father _He had no heir_
++His wife was barren
++He was old
++But a Promise
Abram walked in God’s Favor
Lot benefited from His connection to Abram
Abram Gave Lot a Choice
Lot saw two choices
++Left
++Right
He did not see the third choice
He did not see the option of
++Staying with Abram
++Working through strife
He chose
++A well watered land
++The good life
++Less work
For fifteen years
++Lot live in Sodom
++Lost all that he had
++The wickedness of the city had consumed all that he had
Judgment was coming
The Power of Position
Abraham stood in the way
Lot’s family was in the way.
His son in laws and sons
++They mocked him
++The would not come
His wife and daughters were in the way
The inconvenient journey was in the way
Lot was in the way
God was trying to get Lot into position
The Right Position
++Place of safety
++Place of strength
++Place of deliverance
God is trying to move us into position
