Paul’s Prayer Report

Romans 1:8-10 Paul’s Prayer Report If you have your Bibles I’d invite you to turn with me to Romans, chapter 1 and we’ll look at verses 8 through 10. We began our study of this great gospel of Romans last week together, and even in Paul’s words of greetings we found that they were chock full of the gospel and chock full of significance. We saw the authority of Paul’s gospel, even as he introduces himself as an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. We saw how radical the gospel itself is. The gospel is about God first. It’s about what He does, and especially about the person and work of His Son. It’s the gospel concerning Christ, even as Paul speaks in this prayer report today, and it’s a gospel that radically changes us. It changes us; it changes our purpose; it changes our…

The Covenant at Mizpah

The Covenant of MizpahGenesis 31:43-55 If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis 31 and we’ll begin in verse 43 as we continue our study of the life of Jacob. As we said last week, Jacob had finally had enough, and he uncorked, rather indelicately, at Laban in his encounter in verses 22 through 42. And now we see Laban's response and then the ensuing covenant that is made between Jacob and Laban. That's where we are as we hear God's holy word in Genesis, chapter 31 beginning in verse 43. “Then Laban answered and said to Jacob. ‘The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these my daughters or to their children whom they have born?…

Genesis 24:1-27 The Search for a Bride If you have your Bibles with you I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 24. This week we begin a new series of studies in Genesis concentrating on the life and times of Isaac. Abraham is still alive, but Genesis 24 turns the focus upon Isaac and his future. Genesis 24, verse 1 through Genesis 25, verse 11 record for us the last days of Abraham. But they are in large measure taken up with establishing Isaac. The approaching death of the now aged Abraham raises some natural questions in the mind of the reader when you get to this point in the book of Genesis. What is going to become of Abraham's descendants when he is gone? Will they continue in a unique, covenant relationship with the Lord? How will the chosen line of promise…

Genesis 22:15-24 The Covenant Assured Last week we concentrated on the first half of this chapter, verses 1 through 14, and we said that Abraham's surrender of his son Isaac was a mirror of God's still greater love, and Abraham's exercise of faith in God's promises. Hebrews tells us he believed that the Lord would raise Isaac again from the dead if necessary to fulfill His promises. Abraham's exercise of faith in God's promises leads him to a glimpse of the resurrection…

Genesis 21:22-34 The Covenant with Abimelech If you have your Bibles I'd invite you to turn with me to Genesis, chapter 21 again. We’ll attend the second half of the chapter, beginning in verse 22. Genesis 21, beginning in verse 22. Hagar and Ishmael are long gone. And a lone son now grows in Abraham's house. The Lord in His grace provides a time and a place of stability for Abraham's sojourn. This passage tells us of the long-term settlement of Abraham in the area of Beersheba.…
