Sermons - Grace Point

As Pastor Kyle continues his series on the life of Abraham, we come to the time when Abraham sends his servant out to find a bride for Isaac. You may wonder what this has to do with us today, but look at it as a picture of the Father arranging to get a bride for His Son with the assistance of a third party.

In our series, we are learning about what it means to walk with God by looking at Abraham’s life. Today, we reach the time where Abraham’s wife, Sarah, dies. We see how he handles this event in his life; which brings us to the point that everybody has to pass through death. Death is the “Last Enemy” for all humanity. How should we, as Christians, view death? Listen and learn.

The past couple of weeks, Pastor Kyle has been focusing on how Abraham’s belief in God’s promise to make him a father of a great nation has had an effect on his actions. Today, Pastor Kyle’s takes a deep dive into what he believes are the two greatest promises of God and how that impacts how we live today.

In the past few weeks, Pastor Kyle has been discussing Abraham’s faith and trust in God – ultimately to the point of trusting His promise regarding his descendants through his only son (at that time), Isaac. In order to trust someone, we need to believe that they are trustworthy and faithful. Today, we take a deeper look into how Abraham can trust God and how & why we can also trust Him, too.

As we continue with Pastor Kyle’s series on the life of Abraham, we see how Abraham has learned to have COMPLETE trust in God’s promises. Trust is basic to obedience. Last week, we saw that Abraham had full obedience to God. Today, we will see how he was able to obey God due to his complete trust in Him. So what does this have to do with us, today? Listen to find out.

Last week, Pastor Kyle discussed Abraham’s full obedience to God in his offering of his son, Isaac. His obedience to God was the result of his absolute surrender to God. This week, Pastor Kyle delves into the meanings of “absolute surrender” and “full obedience”, a specific example of what it looks like when it DOESN’T happen, and how it might it apply to us.

As Pastor Kyle continues looking at Abraham’s walk of faith, we come to the place in his life where God gives him his “Final Exam”. Essentially revealing Abraham’s answer to the question “Who do you love more? God or Isaac?” For us today, the choices may be God or ???. Find out why this is important and what God has done for us already.

Today, Pastor Kyle takes a slight detour from Abraham’s life and looks at 4 key areas where Christianity and Islam differ as well as how Islam started.

Have you ever experienced “empty”? This could be an empty gas tank, an empty bank account, or even an empty feeling in your life (the parting of a loved one/close friend, job loss, etc). Today, as Pastor Kyle ponders the Resurrection, we learn how the Empty Tomb of Jesus can fill any emptiness in our lives.

As we continue to look at the life of Abraham, we see that he gained a reputation as one who walked with God. Join Pastor Kyle as he explores how this reputation came to be, what it means to walk with God, and how it may apply to us today. Issues of Integrity, Honesty, and Humility play a huge role in this.
