Sermon: The Patriarch – The God Who Sees: Part 1
Genesis 16: This part of the Abraham story is not often dealt with. It highlights less than ideal attempt by Abram and Sarai to secure the promises of God. But in seeking this, they repeat the error of Genesis 3 when Eve and Adam grasped for the forbidden fruit. This is the pattern of life on our lower plane that continuously must be redeemed by God in his grace.

    Sermon: The Patriarch – As to Adam, so Abram
    Genesis 15.7-19: Wrapped up in Abram's story is the ongoing tension of promise, fulfillment, suffering, and hope for a future beyond death. These themes come into our life as well. The desire we have of a good life here, but also of an eternal life forever. We live this in tension, meanwhile struggling with the hardships of this life. Within that gap of promise and realization we learn to trust and to hope in the God that has brought our salvation.

    Sermon: The Patriarch – Believing the Unbelievable
    Genesis 15.1-6: We continue in our Abraham series and consider how the promises of God turn Abraham's life of negation into a life of abundance. This is the life of faith, but it takes trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness. This is the path of faith as we follow in the footsteps of Abraham, the father of faith.

    Sermon: The Patriarch – the Word of the LORD
    Genesis 15.1-6: This chapter enters us into the theological heart of the Abraham narrative. In the midst of an unsure world that might bring significant fear, the Word of the LORD comes to Abraham to reassure him of his care. In our world, the fight of faith is the fight against impatience to God's promised fulfillment and ease of life. Within the biblical accounts, we see the exact opposite - of waiting and also times of suffering. May the ancients guide us in this wisdom.
