This sermon examines the contrasting responses of Abram and Lot to material wealth and land, highlighting how Abram's generosity reflects a childlike trust in God while Lot's selfishness mirrors an orphan's anxiety. The central message challenges the worldly notion that selfishness pays off, arguing instead that such pursuits lead to spiritual danger and temporary satisfaction only. By contrasting the 'eyes of the flesh' with the 'eyes of faith,' the exposition encourages believers to look beyond earthly possessions toward the eternal inheritance promised by God. The tone is pastoral and instructive, urging the congregation to reject the lies of consumerism and embrace the security of being adopted as children of the King. Ultimately, the sermon points to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of these promises, inviting listeners to surrender their lives to Him and receive the Holy Spirit as the truest gift. Outline: 1) Abram's Generosity 2) Lot's Selfishness 3) God's Generosity

Our sources for our message today include; 1 Tim 2:1,2, Hos 8:4, and Prov 14:31 Paul urges Timothy to bring attention to his people regarding having concern for their countrymen and civil leadership. We should be concerned, responsible, and good--before God. Does this include voting, or politics?absolutely! As we will see in God's word how believers are to conduct themselves.

This sermon examines Moses' persistent objections to God's call in Exodus 4, highlighting how his excuses for inadequacy and doubt ultimately reveal a sinful reluctance to obey. The text presents God's patient response, which includes providing supernatural signs to authenticate Moses and appointing Aaron as a spokesperson, yet firmly commands Moses to proceed. The preacher argues that while honest questions are permissible, using discomfort or personal limitations as reasons to avoid God's clear direction is insulting and contrary to biblical wisdom. By contrasting Moses' hesitation with Christ's willing self-emptying and obedient sacrifice, the sermon urges believers to reject the false notion that comfort or discomfort is a guide for ministry. Instead, Christians are called to act in joyful obedience, trusting in God's equipping power rather than their own feelings or capabilities.
