Sermon Notes

How does a resilient hope enable believers to join God in the fulfillment of his promises in his redemptive plan?

A resilient hope enables believers to join God in the fulfillment of his promises in his redemptive plan…

I. Setting them apart to live according to the ways of the Word, not the ways of the world: Sanctification Genesis 24:1-34.

a. The journey of hope embracing God’s words and God’s ways: Abraham’s hope of sanctification (1 Peter 1:13-16, ḥesed v. 24).

b. Trusting God with our most intimate needs: Abraham’s oath and the servant’s prayer (Gen. 3:15, Genesis 17, 1 Thess 4:1-8, James 4:1-8, 1 John 5:14-15).

II. Satisfying their needs for the fulfillment of God’s covenantal promises: Providence Genesis 24:35-67.

a. Human responsibility: the prayer, tact, courage and obedience of God’s people in spite of the world’s deceptive ways Romans 12:1-2.

b. Divine providence: God’s presence to protect and provide even when we can’t see him Romans 8:28-32.

To choose life, don’t settle for the momentary scraps of the world

When God offers you the eternal inheritance of his Word.

1. What areas of your life does God want to sanctify to restore his blessing?
2. In what ways is God asking you to exercise self-control and delay gratification in obedience to his word?

3. What needs does God want you to bring in prayer to him to discern his provision and your part in the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan?
4. How is your relational life (single or married) reflecting the values of God’s kingdom in this broken world?

La invitación de Jesús a venir el sábado | Mateo 11:25-30

August 16, 2026by Dr. Jim Adams

En nuestra naturaleza pecaminosa, solemos pensar que el descanso es algo que nos ganamos tras trabajar duro. Sin embargo, en el plan de Dios, el descanso no se gana, sino que se da y se recibe.

Jesus’ Sabbath Invitation to Come | Matthew 11:25-30

August 16, 2026by Dr. Jim Adams

Jesus came to invite us to back to the source of all grace. For he made us and our heart is restless until our it rests in him.

¿Qué diferencia hace? | Éxodo 20:8-11

August 9, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

El sábado es el ritmo sagrado de Dios que recuerda a sus criaturas redimidas su misericordiosa y generosa provisión. Dios quiso crear una cultura completamente distinta a la de las naciones caídas del mundo; una cultura que recibiera de todo corazón su gracia y se entregara a él con total entrega. Su cultura debía ser un ritmo constante de recibir de Dios para ofrecerle sacrificios vivos y voluntarios.
