Claiming Your Promise Land
-
Setting out for the “Promise Land”
- Genesis 12
- A Call and Promise – land, family and inheritance
- Cost of obedience – security, identity and future
-
Abraham – man of Altars (Gen 12:7 & 8)
- Altar – where sacrifices are made to honour God
- Appropriation of sins – repentance and forgiveness
- Worship – submission to God, ascribing greatness to Him
- Covenant is cut – relationship defined
-
What Altar makes available to us…
- We encounter God personally where the altar is built – personal life, family, marketplace, a specific geographical location
- Covenantal protection – yet an expression of God’s grace (Gen 12:17)
-
Before we claim our Promise Land, we must set out for it.
