Scripture Title: The Call of Abraham

Scripture Reading: Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭ “The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.”

Sermon Summary:

God called Abraham to leave his country and his extended family and journey to a new land. He called Abraham and Sarah to form a new nation, Israel, that would be a blessing to all the people of the earth. The Bible was written and preserved through the people of Israel. Through Israel, Jesus the Messiah came to earth, died for the sins of the world on the cross, and overcame death. Israel, the descendants of Abraham, have been the conduit for the voice of God, for God’s Messiah and for Salvation.

Like Abraham, we are not just saved by Jesus for our own blessing, but we are saved in order to be a blessing to others. Christ calls some of us to teach, to serve, to visit the sick, to music, to administration. Some are called to prayer, to encourage, or to help those in trouble. Some are called to a life of ministry as preachers or missionaries. We are all called to use our skills and gifts for Christ. Jesus calls all of us to be His ambassadors to the world to invite people to leave the darkness and come into the light of Christ.
