Hope - Week 5

Genesis 12

Key Thought: We can have hope because of a generous God who makes a good promise to redeem and rescue through Abraham’s family.

  1. A generous promise: take hope because God is generous (Genesis 12:1-4)

    • A Generous Master - take hope because God is a gracious master

    • A Call to Faith - take hope because God gives us a new identity by faith

    • A generous promise that is so good!

    • What did the Lord promise?

      • A Land = Canaan

      • A Name = Father Abraham

      • A People (children, nation) = Israel (God’s People)

      • A Universal Blessing = protection and a blessing for all nations

  2. A Good Future: Take hope for in Christ you have a good future. (Genesis 12:5-9)

    • Take hope you have a future home

  3. A Faithful Hero: Take hope because the good and generous hope depends on faithful God not you. (Genesis 12:10-20)
