Messages on Genesis (Page 7)
The Covenant Keeping God
The Name of God implies His unchanging nature and His faithfulness to keep His word. He acts in accordance with His name and keeps His covenant.
Unity in Diversity
The body of Messiah is made up of many parts, each part unique in its identity and calling, yet unified in purpose. Each member of the body is to walk in unity, with love and respect, serving one another just as Yeshua modeled that love to us.
Keys to Reconciliation
Repentance and forgiveness are critical to the coming of Yeshua at the end of the age, just as they were in the reconciliation between Joseph and his brothers.
Fear of the Lord
At this time of Hanukkah, which is a remembrance of the rededication of the Temple, let us renew and rededicate our hearts to our God and King, that we may shine as lights in the world!
Taken Low to Go High
Joseph was brought low so that he might receive the promotion God intended for him – that he would be raised up as a savior for Israel.
A New Name and a New Chapter
Jacob was given a new name just before he was brought back to the Promised Land. So too, new believers in Yeshua receive a new name and a new identity.
Our Hope – God is With Us
Our hope is rooted in the truth of who God is, and who we are in Him. When we face a crisis with confidence in Him, He brings wholeness on the other side.
Renewing Our Minds
As new creations in Messiah, we are free to walk according to our new nature of righteousness. And as we do this, we lay down our old identity of sin, and we renew our minds concerning our new nature and who God says we are.
The Bride of Noble Character
In both Sarah and Rebekah we find characteristics that demonstrate them to be women of noble character. And in Rebekah, as the chosen bride of the promised seed, we see a picture of what the bride of Messiah is to become as we are preparing for His coming.
Hope for the Promised Seed
After years of disappointment, Sarah received the promised son. After bringing up Isaac as an offering, Abraham received him back and opened the way for the promised seed to come in the person of Yeshua, who is our hope.
