God Calls Abraham
The Promise of a Child
Ishmael
We don’t have to “help out” God when it comes to His promises.
They became impatient or perhaps thought that God would give them a child in a different way.
But this is not what God wanted or had promised to use to fulfill His promise of numerous descendants.
Reaffirming the Promise of Many Descendants
Abraham 99 years old now (people lived longer back then they typically do now).
24 years since God had called him to leave his home.
God changes Abram’s name to Abraham to indicate that he would be a father of many.
Abraham means: “Father of a multitude”
Promise for a Son
God sent messengers to Abraham to tell him the news that they would have a son.
Isaac is Born
Offering of Isaac
God did not want Abraham to kill Isaac.
Rather He was testing Abraham to see whether or not Abraham would obey Him.
Would he be willing to give up the long awaited son that he loves so much and was promised?
Was Abraham truly dependent and trusting in God?
Abraham put God 1st even above his long awaited and cherished son.
God provided the offering in place of Isaac.
Application for Today
Look at Hebrews
Abraham knew that the promise was to be fulfilled in Isaac, and so He believed that God would even be able to raise Isaac back to life if thats what it took.
He was confident that God would keep His promise one way or another and so lived by faith in God.
Look also at Galatians 3:29
We are considered the descendants of Abraham based on our faith and the promise which God gave.
All nations would be blessed through Abraham.
Any person from any nation who believes in Jesus will become a descendant of Abraham and receive a blessing.
An heir is someone who is written into a will to receive an inheritance.
We are going to receive an inheritance with Christ when we are with Him!
Jacob
Birth and Stolen Birthright (double blessing of the Father’s inheritance)
Jacob Steals Esau’s Blessing
Isaac Sends Jacob to Go Find a Wife from His Family Line
Jacob Meets Rachel
Jacob Stays with his Relatives
Surprise in the Morning
Jacob Leaves His Father-in-Law and Goes to Reunite with Esau
Joseph
Genesis Chapter 37
Summary:
Joseph = Favorite son and given a colorful coat by Jacob his father
Brothers hated him because of it and would speak kindly to him
Joseph has a dream saying that his whole family would bow down before him Genesis 37:9
Brothers hated him even more
Then Joseph was sent to check on his brothers who were watching the flocks of sheep.
He had to track them down as they had been traveling with them.
Brothers see him coming and scheme to kill him
They end up throwing him into a pit and later sell him as a slave to traders going to Egypt.
They take his coat dip it in animal blood and make it appear as though he is murdered.
They take it to Jacob who is then greatly troubled thinking he is dead.
Joseph sold to Potiphar (Egyptian officer to Pharoah)
God blesses everything that Joseph did and Pharoah recognized this and made him the head over his household affairs
Then Potiphar’s wife gets the hots for Joseph but he says no.
She keeps insisting that he sleep with her, but he knows that is wrong and refuses.
She grabs him by the coat but he runs away.
She is embarrassed and so she calls in her other servants and says that he tried to rape her.
Potiphar throws him wrongfully into prison
Here he is blessed as well by God and he is made the leader over all the other prisoners and he was responsible for all of them
Interprets dreams for baker and cupbearer which reveal their fates (cupbearer lives and baker dies)
Cupbearer forgets to mention Joseph and get him out of prison
2 years later, Pharoah has a dream but doesn’t know what it means.
Cupbearer remembers Joseph and he is brought before Pharoah to interpret it.
7 years of prosper and then 7 years of famine coming
Pharoah puts Joseph in charge of collecting grain during the good years to save up for the bad
Joseph is now 2nd in command of all of Egypt
Bad years come and now Jacob has to send his sons to Egypt to get food and they meet Joseph
They don’t recognize him, but he knows who they are
He is tough on them but wants to see his youngest brother Benjamin (the only other son of Rachel)
He gives them food but wants to see Benjamin, so he makes Simeon stay in Egypt until all of the brothers including Benjamin come down.
Father is in distress for now losing Joseph and potentially Simeon.
But eventually they need food and they beg Jacob to take Benjamin with them.
They all get there and bow to Joseph Genesis 43:28
Joseph is very emotional about seeing his brother but hides it from everyone
A meal is provided for the brothers
He lets them leave with food, but makes a situation happen that has them return under distress of being a thief
Brothers insist that he let Benjamin return.
Joseph breaks down and reveals himself to his brothers.
He treats them kindly and recognizes that it was truly God who sent him there
Jacob and the entire family moves down to Egypt and Pharoah and Joseph provide food and provisions for the family.
