Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Call my salmon.

I'm ready when you are standing in the phones up.

Okay, good morning, everybody.

Title of my message.

This morning is God of promises.

This Is Our God.

A couple weeks ago.

Maybe more like 3 weeks ago, I'm not sure.

Some time ago, I open and I gave a definition if you're here.

You'll remember I gave a definition of the word promise, and the second definition of the word, promise is to give good ground for expecting Give Good Grounds for expecting.

So God, let's pray.

God, we were expecting great things in our lives.

Would you prepare the soil of our hearts for expectation that holds hope erised let Faith arise in the hearts of everyone here this morning at the sound of my voice.

And even those online that they wouldn't leave this video or their service.

The saying that they would leave encouraged in Jesus name, I pray Amen.

So I'm going to be covering like a span of 20 chapters here.

So for those of you watching online, grab your bible cuz I don't think the scriptures are going to show up on the screen today.

I don't think we have that up and running.

We need more volunteers for that stuff.

But the Bible is good a man.

So I'm going to be covering a span of like Genesis 12 to 32 and this is my take, this is how the Lord encouraged me, but the lord loves us so much that he speaks to us as individuals.

He's so intricate and intimate with each individual.

So, I encourage you to read it yourself when you have time because he's going to speak to you.

I'm an intimate way right on the things that I read.

So we're going to be looking at Abraham and his family and so I'm kind of going off the assumption that everyone kind of knows he's story.

But, I am going to give enough contact filters that if you don't know the story, you'll be able to follow along.

So, let's look first at Abraham and Sarah.

We first hear of Abraham and Sarah and Genesis 11 accept their introduced as Abram and Sarai.

So Genesis 11:27 to 29.

Now these are the generations of Tara Tara father Abram nahor and Heron and Heron father's lot and Heron died in the presence of Terror of his father.

In the land of his birth, inner of the Chaldeans, And Abram.

And they are took wives for themselves and the name of the wife of Abraham was Sarah.

Okay.

Now, we're going to jump ahead a bit Genesis 12 123 we seek God called Abram.

And in Genesis 12 verses 1 2 3 it says.

And you always said to Abram, go out from your land and from your relatives and from the house of your father to a land that I will show you and I will make you a great nation and I will bless you and I will make your name great.

And you will be a blessing.

And I will bless those who bless you and those who curse you, I will curse and all families of the earth will be blessed in you.

I want to see this most promises.

Don't come from sitting at home.

God is calling us out.

He's calling us out of the familiar because in the comfort, we get a pathetic.

So God is calling out from among our relative and among our fathers in the things were, we feel comfortable and safe, he's calling us.

So to trust him.

Amen.

Then we see in Genesis 13, the promise we called him out and then God gives him a promise and Genesis 13 verse 16.

God said, save him.

I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth which is anyone were able to count the dust of the earth.

Your descendants would.

So be counted.

That's a big promise that sounds far beyond human comprehension.

And then we're going to jump ahead again.

We're going to look at the time after Abram went and rescued his nephew lot and he had a victory in battle.

This is after he's given the promise of God.

And it's nephew got into some trouble again, you will want to read the whole story, if you don't know it for more contact with this is what's going on here.

He's rescuing his nephew and he's victorious in battle, it says he defeats the King, right?

So Genesis 14, 17 to 20, we're going to read Now, we're going to see how Abram response after a victory.

After Abraham returned from his victory, over Kettle eomer and all his allies.

The king of Sodom, went out to meet him in the valley of Sheva.

That is the King's Valley and Melchizedek the king of Salem, and a priest of most of God.

Most high brought Abram some bread and wine and milk has it at blessed Abraham with this blasi, blasi, Abraham by God, most high creator of Heaven and Earth and blessed.

Be God, most high, who has defeated your enemies for you then, Abraham gave milk.

Has it at a tenth of all the goods.

He had recovered, he had a victory and he chose to honor.

God, he chose to recognize that.

This Victory didn't come from himself, it came from God, he could have walked away full of Pride, right?

But he trusted God again cuz he's trusting that this is the.

Of prom they meant.

So he's tied in here.

This is an act of trust, and this is an act of humility.

Right, and then we see in Genesis, 15 got a firming.

His promise, God will do that.

Often times.

He'll give us a promise.

And then later down the road, we're feeling a little wobbly wobbly.

He will affirm his promise.

He will, he's he's an encourager.

He's he's a great encourager.

The Genesis 15 verse 1.

Take note that this is after the fact that he has trusted God with with a tenth of the goods are the swells from Victory but says Genesis 50, verse 1 after these things.

So this is the story in Genesis 15 is God a firming.

His promise, a rounds after the sink after Abraham has trusted God, the word of y'all.

We came to Abram in a vision saying, do not be afraid Abram.

I am your shield and your reward shall be very great.

So again, this is one of those things, you can go back when you have time.

This is the story where God and Abram cut a covenant together and so Abram cut animals down the middle.

I split them in half, and there's blood in the pathway and God shows up and he walked between the sacrifices and there's a smoking pot right beef.

God, showed up an Abrams reward for trusting or tithing was confirmation and encouragement, that's the reward.

See, God will always fulfill his promise.

It'll never fail.

But why not be encouraged while we wait?

Why not step out in faith?

Why not?

Step out and Trust Because the reward for trust.

Is encouragement from God and confirmation that's what's going on here.

So the reward for faith is always encouragement and Confirmation to keep going.

We need that sometimes.

Has anyone ever felt like that before you're running a race you're out of breath and you just need someone to say come on you got.

That is what's going on here between Abraham and God.

God is showing him he's affirming.
