My Two Sons (Part 2)

As we launch into Chapter 21 of Genesis, we see the fulfillment of the birth of "the promised son," Isaac. One cannot help but to notice that the dominant figure throughout our text is the Lord who is mentioned five times in the first eight verses. It is He who has brought the promise to fruition and He who governs the efforts of man. God visits Sarah. God gives to us promises in His word and fulfills them. Upon His promises we stand.

We will consider in our text the birth of Isaac, how it corresponds with the birth of Christ and what that means to us. In addition, we will look at the obedience of Abraham and the revitalization of Sarah. These relate directly to our daily lives in Christ.

May the renewing power of the Holy Spirit breathe a refreshing to your soul.

 MY TWO SONS

GENESIS 21:1-14

Today, before launching into Genesis 21, we will be reviewing and building upon our closing comments from our last study in Genesis 20.  It was there that we studied Abraham being a type of Christ and Sarah being a type for the church.  In 20:16, Abimelech emphasizes that Abraham was Sarah's brother.  The statement comes, most likely, in the form of a sarcastic rebuke due to Abraham and Sarah's deception (cf 20:12).  Though meant as a rebuke, the significance of this type/reference to those in Christ, the church, is significant.  To Christians, if Christ is our brother, then we are together with Him, sons.  The New Testament identifies us as "adopted sons."

The message today will explore the sonship of Christ and the significance of that reality to we who are in Christ.

May this sermon be a strengthening encouragement to you as you seek to serve our Lord, our Master, our brother (Hebrews 2:11-17, Romans 8:29).

ABRAHAM: HIS INGLORIOUS FAILURE 

AND HIS GLORIOUS EXAMPLE (PART 2) 

GENESIS 20:1-18

As Genesis 20 opens, we see Abraham leaving the a Region of Mamre and journeying to the Southern Region of Palestine known as Gerar. This area was later to become known as the land of the Philistines. No reason is given for his journey and his settling there. We can only surmise.

While chalet 19 records the sins of Sodom and the failings of Lot, chapter 20 reveals a failure on the part of Abraham. The Scriptures never seek to hide the sins and falterings of the saints. The saints of the Bible are openly displayed to be fallible people, even as we are. Consequently, we can learn much from their examples; the times wherein they shine (through the Grace of God) and much also from the times when their imperfections display the shadows of their lives.

It sold be easy to focus entirely upon Abraham's sin and it's effect upon others. Our study will certainly lead us there. However, in the midst of Abraham's stumbling, there is also the revelation and the display of a glorious example.

Today's sermon serves as the first installment of two messages. The title of the message and the heading for the entire chapter is: Abraham: His Inglorious Failure and His Glorious Example.

As always, I pray that this message may serve as an instrumental of encouragement to your faith. 

God bless you.
