The Life of Abraham
Abram Trusts God for His Possessions
In Genesis 14:1-24, we witness Abram’s rescue of Lot from enemy kings, and Abram’s encounter with the King of Salem and the King of Sodom. Pastor Martijn Heijboer preaches goods and kindred robbed by enemies, goods and kindred recovered by Abram, God acknowledged as possessor of all things, and God trusted as possessor of all things.
Abram’s Faith vs. Lot’s Sight
In Genesis 13:1-18, we witness Abram’s generosity to Lot and God’s renewal of His covenant promise. Pastor Martijn Heijboer preaches Abram returns with great riches, Lot and Abram drift apart, Abram yields to Lot, Lot takes advantage of Abram, Lot and Abram are separated, and God reaffirms Abram’s great inheritance.
Abram Risks God’s Promise
In Genesis 12:10–20, we discover Abram’s shortcomings and God’s faithfulness to keep his covenant with Abram. Pastor Martijn Heijboer preaches Abram leaves the promised land, Abram plots to save himself, the promise in jeopardy, God saves Abram, and Abram leaves Egypt.
Abram’s Faith in the Promise of a Seed
In Genesis 12:1-9, God calls Abram to be His faithful follower and lists the amazing blessings that will follow. Pastor Martijn Heijboer preaches the call with a promise, the response of obedience and faith, the affirmation of the promise, and the response of worship and faith.
