Messages on Genesis (Page 9)
Faith of Abraham
Abram had to leave behind what was dear to him so he could take hold of the blessings God had prepared for him. Abram had to choose to believe that what God said was good for him really was good for him. Then he had to go, both for himself and for a higher purpose.
Redeemed Through Righteousness for Righteousness
Through the righteousness of one man, mankind is saved for a world being made new for those who hide themselves in the Word of God and walk in righteousness.
You Must Rule Over Sin
Man’s temptation is to determine what is good based on their own understanding rather than listening to what God has said is good. But the heart is deceitful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9). We must rule over sin, turn from it in repentance and walk in the light of God’s Torah!
God Remembers His Promises
As we wait for Messiah to return, may we endure with faith and hope, knowing that God is faithful to keep His promises. One day we will hear the sound of the Great Teruah, the Great Shofar, and behold the coming of Yeshua our Messiah, who is the Promised Seed!
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.
