Pioneers in Faith



The LORD challenged Abraham and Sarah to trust Him enough to leave their home, their family, and their culture identity in order to let God start something new with them – a new home, a new family, and new cultural identity. And courageously, they followed the LORD based on His promise. We are given promises of the same vein in order to follow Christ into a new cultural identity, new family, and new home, superior to anything found on earth. Will we follow by faith?

Imputed Righteousness



Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Lots of ways to translate that one word – imputed, reckoned, counted, credited, and accounted. But we don’t have righteousness without Christ, but by grace through faith in Jesus we can be credited His righteousness. And that makes all the difference.

Promise to Abraham



We continue our series following just some of the many promises by God that build up the anticipation for the Messiah’s arrival in the incarnation that we know as Christmas.  And the covenant promises that the LORD made to Abram (later Abraham) are pivotal in that understanding.  The Messiah as a descendant of Abraham will bless all of the scattered families and tribes of the earth with the opportunity to know the LORD God and be reconciled to Him.

The Blessing of God



The LORD singled out Abraham and Sarah to leave their home and come be a part of God’s great plan to bless all the nations. This was perhaps more radical than we imagine with greater reward than we grasp. And they packed up and obeyed, joining God in a story that basically takes the reader through the rest of the Hebrew Scriptures and through the entirety of the New Testament.  And they gained the blessing of God, which is relationship with God Himself.  Let’s go too!
