Pastor Matt - Gen 12-13:4
Our faith is revealed by tests
Called out of Ur – a metropolis according to
archaeologists
Faith is obedience in spite of what may happen
Wherever we recognize the Lord is, we should build an
altar. Abram built altars at Shechem
(Gen 12:6-7), between Bethel and Ai (Gen 12:8), Hebron (Gen 13:18), mountain in
region of Moriah (Gen 22:9)
Do people know where I’ve been because they see an altar
where I’ve worshiped God?
Faith that can’t be tested, can’t be trusted.
True faith is tested.
Egypt represents the world.
Abram ran from a trial and right into a new set of
problems. God wanted to take Abram
through the trial in Canaan.
How many times do I not counsel with God because I
already know the answer?
If you can’t build an altar where you are, you don’t
belong there!
Abram was self-consumed, not concerned with Sarai
Pharaoh knew the plagues came upon his house because of
Sarai
Abram lost his testimony and witness. Abram lied and the king of Egypt rebuked him
for being a phony.
Is material gain a confirmation of blessing? No.
Abram has wealth, but it came from the world and confirms his
compromise.
1 Peter 3 – Peter calls Sarai out. An example of a godly woman. When you’re married to a man who won’t lead
spiritually, treat them as if they were a great spiritual leader. Let God convict him. Do you think a husband knows when he’s not
leading properly? Every time. Sarai did what Abram asked.
Guys, you want to destroy your wives, just make them feel
unloved. Gals, you want to kill your
husbands, just don’t respect them.
Lot was with Abram.
The trip to Egypt affected him. In
the next chapter, Lot chooses the land that reminded him of Egypt.
How many kids wind up in Egypt because their parents have
taken trips to Egypt?
Abram came back to his first love. He wound up at that altar he built at
first. But Abram will do the same thing
again… How many times do I digress? The answer is to come back!
We don’t sing “Great is my faithfulness…”
God will never say, “Don’t come back.”
Confession brings cleansing. Concealment brings discipline.
Pastor Matt - Gen 13:5-14
The effect on Lot was substantial. Trips to Egypt leaves us with consequences.
Abram and Lot had so much stuff between them, they
couldn’t dwell contentedly with each other.
1 Cor 2:14 – the natural man has no spiritual life. Spiritual things go right over his head. The spiritual man has a spiritual
awareness. 1 Cor 3 – the carnal man, the
fleshly man. If you’re too carnal, you
can’t feed on the meat of the Word. You
can’t hear meaty teachings. Where there
is strife, there is carnality.
Lot is being the carnal man, here. He’s saved, but he’s walking in the flesh.
Lot chose the land that looked like Egypt.
If you’re living near Sodom, you need to move.
We are to storm the gates of hell and rescue those who
have been taken captive. Gal 6:1.
You will always have two visitors when you return from a
victory. The king of Sodom (burning),
covered in slime. The king of Salem
(peace) and he brings bread and wine.
Pastor Matt – Gen 15
Sets up some things.
Spiritual warfare is exhausting.
You can’t take a break as a Christian. Satan will try to convince you to reward
yourself for spiritual victory with something fleshly.
The enemy is often seen as a bird.
