Faith That Blesses
When he returns from Egypt, Abram is again faced with a choice of whether or not to live by faith. After separating from Lot due to their growing wealth and the strife it caused in Genesis 13, Lot is captured during a conflict between kings in Genesis 14. When Abram learns of Lot’s capture and the actions of these foreign kings, he demonstrates faith— trusting God’s clear promises—as he gathers his trained men to pursue and defeat the kings, and rescue Lot. Genesis 14 culminates in a meeting with Melchizedek, a mysterious figure who blesses Abram, showing God's ongoing faithfulness and foreshadowing Jesus. Trusting God brings blessing in surprising ways and places.
Scripture References: Genesis 14:1-24, Genesis 13:1-18, Hebrews 7:1-28

The story of Abraham’s life opens with a profound and powerful event: his response to God’s call to leave his homeland and go to the land God will show him (Gen 12:1). Abraham's life is marked by moments of both faith and doubt, courage and fear. Through it all, God was was faithful, enabling Abraham to keep turning back to him in faith and courage.

Sent to be Faithful
Acts 14 records the heart of Paul and Barnabas’s first journey to spread the Gospel. After being run out of Antioch, they head to Iconium where once again there is fruitfulness as they share the Gospel along with opposition to it. When a plan to mistreat and stone them surfaces, they move on to Lystra. In Lystra a crippled man is healed at Paul’s word. After witnessing the miracle, the crowds believe Barnabas and Paul to be Zeus and Hermes. When Paul and Barnabas insist they are not gods but mere men chaos ensues. Paul is stoned and dragged out of the city, assumed dead. After the disciples gather around him he rises, reenters the city then heads to Derbe the following day. Paul and Barnabas were ministering in a culture deeply divided, chaotic, and often opposed to the Gospel—not unlike our own. When the world is full of chaos, opposition, & division, our job is to be faithful and point people to Jesus, leaving the results to God. Pastor Josh also gave a helpful paradigm of “Receive, Reject, Redeem” for us to use as Christians as we interact with our culture.
