Sermons on Genesis (Page 3)
The Hand of Providence (Genesis 29:1-30)
Only the good providence of a loving God can bring hope out of shame. We will attempt to unpack that statement in two parts. First, we will look at how Jacob is Confident In Providence (1-14). Second, we’ll see how he is Forbearing With Providence (15-30).
Jacob’s Dream (Genesis 28)
If I could summarize this entire chapter in one sentence I would put it like this: A growing Christian is one that is increasingly sensitive toward sin and constantly amazed by God.
Mixed Blessings In Disguise (Genesis 27:1-40)
The will of God is accomplished through flawed individuals. There’s comfort and hope in that fact isn’t there? First, we will look at The Stolen Blessing (1-25). Second, we’ll see The Accidental Blessing (26-29). And third, we will note The Squandered Blessing (30-40).
God Is Sovereign (Genesis 25:19-34)
Crisis is inevitable and conflict is unavoidable, but we trust in a God who is sovereign over both! First, we will see that God Is Sovereign Over Crisis (19-26). Second, we’ll see that God Is Sovereign Over Conflict (27-34).
Covenant Faithfulness (Genesis 24)
Ultimately, this passage is about the covenant faithfulness of God and the way he draws people into that covenant and blesses them within it. So we will consider three aspects of the covenant this morning: First, we will look at The Covenant Prayer. Second, we’ll see The Covenant Priority. And third, we will note The Covenant Privilege.
The Death of Sarah and Abraham (Genesis 23 and 25)
Sin brought death into the world, but let’s consider from this passage what death brings into our lives. First, we will see that Death Brings Mourning. Second, we’ll see that Death Brings Responsibilities. And third, we will see that Death Brings Opportunities.
The Cost of the Covenant (Genesis 22:1-19)
We first have to ask the question: What kind of God would require such a test? First, we will look at A Crushing Command (1-2). Second, we’ll see A Devoted Dependence (3-10). And third, we will see A Promised Possession (11-19).
The Reward of the Covenant (Genesis 15)
In Genesis 12, God called Abram and gave him several promises. By the time we come to Genesis 15, not one of those promises has been fulfilled. Abram was promised he would be great nation (which implies he would have a lot of children), and his offspring was promised a land to inherit. The problem is that Abram doesn’t have a son, nor does he have an inheritance to pass on.
First, we will look at the promise that God Gives Hope (1-6). Second, we’ll see that God Gives Assurance (7-11, 18-21). And third, we will note how God Gives Grace (12-17).
