you can listen to my sermon from last Sunday (1/31) at Calvary Church
by going here.
The message is part of our 10 part series we are doing at Calvary on the Book of Genesis called Road Trip: A Journey of Faith.
My message is titled, "Road Trip: Grace for the Journey"
It is based on the true story of Hagar, Abraham and Sarai from Genesis 16 and 21.
Here was my outline from the morning:
1. We travel the “Boulevard of Bad Decisions” when we rely on ourselves and not on God.
*Genesis 16:1-3
a. We doubt God and His word/promises to us (Gen. 3)
b. We create man-made plans, without God (Prov. 3:5-6)
c. We are driven by works (achievement), not by grace (receivement) (Gal. 4:22-23)
2. We experience the “Parkway of Pain” because of our bad decisions.
*Genesis 16:4-6
a. Pain and Conflict between Hagar and Sarai.
b. Pain and Conflict between Sarai and Abram.
c. Pain for Hagar (in desert)
d. Pain for Sarai and Abram (still no child, no fulfillment of promise)
3. We are met by the “Rest Stop of God’s Grace” in our pain, despite our bad decisions.
*Genesis 16:7-11 and Genesis 21:1-21
a. God’s grace to Hagar by meeting her in the desert and guiding her home.
*Genesis 16:7-11
b. God’s grace to Abram & Sarai in keeping his promise, providing a miracle son.*Genesis 21:1-8
c. God’s grace to Isaac and Ishmael in His plans for them.
*Genesis 21:9-13
d. God’s grace to Hagar and Ishmael again.
*Genesis 21:14-21
e. God’s grace to us!
*Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 11:28-30

ReplyDeleteI just joined this sweet site. Lots of people have contributed so many good things here. I would also like to add some thing for this community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you wish to know how to lose 10 pounds in a calendar week, you are likely not looking for a common diet and workout plan. You can lose weight with a basic diet and work out plan, However this involves a lot of time doing intense cardio works out and sticking to a strict diet. Here I will draft the perfect steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a workweek.
1. Stay away from all fried nutrients for the week
2. Drink In an 8oz glass of grapefruit with breakfast each day. (this speeds up up your metabolism)
3. Take average portions (stop taking when you are full)
4. If you are consuming 3 huge a meals a day, eat up 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Aviod eating after 9 P.M.. Its good to eat before 9 P.M. so that our body gets proper time to burn calories before sleep.
6. Get plenty of sleep every night. Not taking adequate rest has been verified to be a ranking factor to the body storing excess fat.
7. Utilise a body/colon cleanse for the 7 days. This will get rid of unnecessary fat stored just about the tummy area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that cause you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I advice you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is tested to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those individuals who wish to burn fat quickly, avoid alcoholic beverage.
