Sermon Notes:

Genesis 24:35

  • Abraham - planted the seed of our spiritual family tree.
    • He began chasing God’s vision for him with nothing but a promise and a person-in the seed son, Isaac.
    • Spiritual trailblazer (new lands, new wells, building herds, gold, etc.)
    • Sent his servant Eleazer to get a wife for Isaac.
    • Genesis 24:35
    • Every family / generation needs someone to get the ball rolling...trailblazers!
    • Isaac - watered the tree of our spiritual family tree.
      • When Abraham died, he not only received his dad's physical inheritance, but also the spiritual blessing of God’s covenant with his dad.
      • I believe Isaac got a second measure of blessing.
      • Genesis 26:13
      • Abraham was great, but Isaac was VERY GREAT!
        • Genesis 26:12
        • Jacob - grew the spiritual family tree (branched out).
          • When Isaac was dying, he started thinking of Esau & Jacob, & he blessed Jacob
          • Genesis 27:28-29
          • Jacob increased in wealth, got a word, worked hard, stayed loyal even though mistreated, focused on what he wanted, & under a special generational covenant blessing through Isaac.
          • Genesis 27:27
          • Jacob had 12 sons between Rachel & Leah.
          • Abraham: 1 son, Isaac: 2 sons, Jacob: 12 sons-increase of blessings!
          • Joseph - The next generation would protect our spiritual family tree.
            • Famine fell in the land, & Jacob had to move to Egypt to protect the family tree (time to stay, time to move).
            • By the time Jacob’s family left Egypt, they were 1.5 million, & carried the Egyptians’ gold & silver out with them.
            • Psalms 105:37
            • Fourth generations are unique: they tell if the legacy continues or dies.
              • Moses, Joshua, elders...
              • Judges 2:10
              • Christian, their tree is ours!
                • Romans 11:18
                • Israel is the natural seed of Abraham & the Christians / church are a spiritual seed.
                • Galatians 3:29
                • We are somehow in this with them...I want to know how to pass it in to my boys, grandkids, great-grandkids, etc.
                • When God makes a covenant with a person or nation, He is a long-range/long-term planner/thinker.

                  • Four generations of Hebrew fathers prove the existence of generational blessing.
