Genesis 30:25-31:55
Where there is Trust there is Peace
INTRO
The saga of Jacob’s life continues before us this morning.
And brace
yourselves, for similar to last week when Ray preached, we are going to take
another Big chunk of scripture on it.
(Genesis 30:25-31:55).
A chapter and a
half.
This will be without question the largest volume content of scripture I have
every preached upon.
So the stakes are high that I’ll acquire the golden mic for
longest sermon preached…currently held by Jason.
But time will tell, so let’s
get started.
Clock is ticking.
SO,…How to go about this?
WELL, I see the BIG
Idea and the 2 points leading to it as being very concise.
Which is so helpful.
YES, I said two points from this chapter and a half…this narrative portion of
scripture on the continued saga of Jacob’s life that fits into the bigger narrative
of God’s redemptive story of which our lives also, if you are in Christ, are a
part of.
IF your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life then God has brought
you into His Redemptive story of salvation that will be revealed at the return of
Jesus.
SO it behooves us to pay attention and learn from accounts such as
what is before us this morning that we ourselves would be working with God in
the most complete way possible to fulfill our part of it that He is doing through
us.
The short and sweet BIG IDEA…our End Game take home for today is Where there is Trust there is Peace…..Where there is Trust there is Peace
And the bedrock of Trust stems from one’s Loyalty…or one’s faithfulness you
could equally say.
God is Loyal.
He is a Faithful God.
Caleb Rice loaned me
a short read by A.W. Tozer called “The knowledge of the Holy”.
I’ve been very
blessed by it and have captured multiple quotes to retain and reflect back on.
LISTEN to this one spoken on God’s Faithfulness.
A.W. Tozer - “God, being who He is, cannot cease to be what He is, and being
what He is, He cannot act out of character with Himself.
He is at once faithful
and immutable, so all His words and acts must be and must remain faithful.
Men become ‘unfaithful' out of desire, fear, weakness, loss of interest, or
because of some strong influence from without.
Obviously none of these forces
can affect God in any way.
He is His own reason for all He is and does.
He
cannot be compelled from without, but ever speaks and acts from within Himself
by His own sovereign will as it pleases Him.”
Such a good quote and so key to what we are looking at today.
FOR, the first
point, as we kick off and start moving towards the conclusion of Where there is
Trust there is Peace….our
first point is - The UnFaithfulness of man.
SO
accurately described by A.W. Tozer.
And the second point, also SO
accurately described by Tozer…is - The Faithfulness of God.
The first results
in NOT having Peace while the second brings Peace.
THE way I intend to move through this is much like going on a mountain bike
ride.
A common thing you’ll encounter on a trail moving towards and end point
is little markers placed along the way.
A popular one being little gnome
statues.
Little white beard men with pointy hats, ‘Kebler elfish like’ just placed
here and there along the way.
In a similar way, I see this long path of The
UnFaithfulness of man with multiple markers of The Faithfulness of God placed
along the way to our destination of Where there is Trust there is Peace.
SO
saddle up, get on your bike and lets’ go for a ride.
We set off with our Our First point - The UnFaithfulness of man
BODY
1)
FIRST POINT - (Genesis 30:25- 31:1-29).
The UnFaithfulness of man
The outline of how this is will be broken up,…will be different from the norm.
For you type A’rs, here, where this is important and helpful, this is what I want
you to do.
Our First point - The UnFaithfulness of man - encompasses most of the
narrative before us (Genesis 30:25-31:44) to be precise.
WHILE the Second
point - The Faithfulness of God - is marked here and there along the way.
SO,
give yourself plenty of space under the first point to take notes on and then, find
a fitting spot to place the header for the Second point - The Faithfulness of God
- and when we encounter those markers along the way, jot them down under the
second point.
Jot them down, capture them and what they entail as they are
the crux of how peace is arrived at in the end.
OKAY, time to pedal…we have ground to cover.
Read along with me (verse
30:25-34).
Things are looking pretty good here at the moment.
