Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ: God tested Abram to see if he would rescue his old, foolish, selfish nephew Lot, or leave him to rot in his foolishness.
Abram would endure the test of showing love to his old, foolish, selfish nephew!
In fact, Abram passed that test with an A+. Abram used his wealth, his soldiers, and his allies to rescue foolish Lot.
But tests never end, do they? While you have life you will have tests!
Those tests come from God for the strengthening of your faith.
Following the test to show love to his old, foolish, selfish, nephew Lot, Abram faced 2 more tests.
What were those tests and how would he respond to them? Hear about this today.
Our headings are: 1. Abram's Test with the King of Salem. 2. Abram's Test with the King of Sodom.
Our goals are: That whatever tests you go through, you will remember you are rich in Christ, remember he will sustain you in them, and remember he will reward you for passing them, and you will remain focused on building Christ's kingdom even through trials. |
