*Now That’s A Promise!*
Genesis 12:1-9
Input from Derek
 
*Introduction *
 
READ TEXT~/PRAY
Candidate’s first public statement
Standing in a small town – I’m for middle class America
Standing in front of a small business – I’m for small businesses
Standing in DC – we need to change this
How to view this CALL from God
How we view Abram’s CALL can help us view characteristics in all of God’s Word
The call contains command & promise
At least four characteristics we see in the call of Abram
 
*I.
The Call is Gracious** *
·     Gen.
3-11 – it’s coming to an end
·     Gen.
1-2, 3:15 promise, family line
·     Terah is the end of the line, pagan family
·     Barren, yet the Word comes thundering
·     Not just some encouraging words in the barrenness
·     A covenant, words that both call and command
·     Words that can be trusted cuz God is trustworthy
·     God’s Word to Abram is gracious by CREATING THE FAITH
·     Examples from Gen. 3:15, Gen. 12, Eph.
2:1-3
 
*/Transition/*
IT IS ABSOLUTELY gracious of God to call us
 
*II.
The Call Is Vital *
Without it we are nothing
*/Personal applied/*
·     It came to Abram PERSONALLY
·     Not to Lot, not to Terah, not to any other person in the family
·     It was NECESSARY for Abram to personally trust God as an individual
·     NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE PART OF THE LINEAGE
·     NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE A SON IN TERAH’S FAMILY
·     NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE PART OF A CHRISTIAN FAMILY
·     NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE PART OF A GOOD CHURCH
 
·     Has it PERSONALLY BEEN APPLIED in your life? 
o      Has God’s Word, His promises, disturbed you, challenged you, called you, commanded you? 
o      OR do you think you are ok just being part of a Christian family???
·     Have you PERSONALLY ENCOUNTERED GOD??
o      Has God’s Word come to you individually and been applied???
o      OR are you comfortably seeking haven that you are part of a good Church?
·     It’s the call that qualifies us & makes us distinct!!
·     Mosques, synagogue & Christian Churches
 
*/Immediately obeyed /*
·     Obedience is the main expression of our trust in God
·     Abram’s obedience immediately made him separated and distinct!!
·     Your country – Haran in all it’s glitz and promise – Polytheism to monotheism
·     Your kindred – your closest relationships, those you have built with
·     Your father’s house – your family trade, the security that comes from passing down traditions  
/Heb 11:8// By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance.
And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
/
·     Abram DID NOT negotiate with God and attempt to put his agenda in the mix
*/Transition /*
IT IS ABSOLUTELY vital to be personally called us and our response be immediate obedience
 
*III.
The Call Is Powerful *
(to change us – to create people who . . . )
*/Walk by faith /*(verse 1a)*/ /*
·     That I will show you . . .
·     Jeremy & Justin examples
·     Abram’s example – V. 4 & Heb.
11:8
·     Our example
·     Can I live a life of faith in God’s Words and still have  . . . .
·     Can I live a life of faith and only do  . . . .
·     Question – Why wouldn’t I want to fully trust God
·     Teen trusting their parents, wife trusting her husband OR member trusting their pastor – ultimately it’s about trusting God!
·     Come in asking questions – Can I be a Christian and still have sex with my girlfriend?
Pursue all my materialism?
Pursue all my selfish desires?
·     If you try to respond to the CALL OF God  and want to fit your agenda into God’s call – it will never work
·     God’s agenda for your life must be your primary concern
 
*/Live for mission /*(v.
2)*/ /*
·     You no longer live for self
·     God’s Word comes to radically change you at the core
·     You don’t live to be blessed but to bless others
·     A life of leaving the familiar, the comfortable, the secure
·     A life of surrendering your conditions to obey God
·     A life of faith that lives for God’s agenda, His mission
EXAMPLES FROM TOM DEBERRY AND~/OR MICHELLE
·     There are people right now in our relational circles that need to hear the good news of Jesus Christ
·     We are scared, we crave our safety zone
·     We don’t want people to criticize us – we have our reputations to keep
·     Abram could have said – God, the guys originally wanted to go to Canaan but this is as far as they got, what’s wrong with doing all this in Haran?
·     God says to go from your safety zone, take a risk
·     Then we actually begin to draw our comfort form obedience to God
·     Not from love of our fears, securities and comforts
·     We live to be on mission for the glory of God!!
 
IT IS ABSOLUTELY the power of the call  
Change people to walk by faith and live for mission
 
*IV.
The Call is Applicable *
·     How does the CALL OF GOD come to us at the street level?
·     What does it look like MONDAY morning?
·     Are we to just kind of sit back and admire Abram’s faith?
·     This Word doesn’t come to us and say “be like Abram!”
·     As we learn to read our Bible’s “Christocentrically”
