Promise made, promise kept, with only a few thousand years in between. God plays the long game. This will wrap up or series on God is Near. If you know that to be true in your own life, then let’s worship together. If you are discouraged, keep the faith just a little bit longer. There is always hope. And if you are looking for God, seek him while he may be found. He is probably closer than you think.
We have spent six months or so in our series “God is Near” and now it’s time to ask: How will you respond? What do we do with this information? God is near but where are we?
Last week we learn a few lessons from Jonah but we left him in the belly of the great fish. What do you think happens when, after three days, Jonah finally decides to pray?
Daniel, along with Shadrach, Meshech and Abindago, were faithful to God and found themselves in perilous situations. Jonah shows us what happens when the prophet does not want to deliver God’s message and tries to get away from him.
You may never be thrown into a furnace or a den of lions for remaining true to your faith. You might get made fun of. You could lose something real like a job promotion or face legal action if you refuse to play the game according to the rules of our culture. God is near. He hears, he sees, and he remembers his promises. He will never leave nor forsake. When you face trials of life, keep in mind that neither your friends, the company you work for nor our government will be the ultimate judge on the final day. Jesus said “If you deny me, I will deny you before me Father.” Look at the Hebrew children and those that accused them. Look at Daniel, and those that had him thrown into the den of lions. Only God can save.
We all go through things – often unplanned, sometimes unfair – but we do not have to go through them alone. God is near.
Israel is God’s chosen people but it was never just about Israel. What about today? Does the modern nation-state of Israel still have favored nation status with God?
We will spend some time discussing who the three men are that visit Abraham in Genesis 18 but exactly who they are is not the point. The LORD visited Abraham and Sarah and brought news. God is near.
*I mentioned in the sermon that I would drop some information on the origin of Jehovah.
We recently saw how God was near Adam and Eve after the Garden, Noah during the flood and the people of Israel when they were in Egypt. Today we fall back to Genesis 12 and meet Abram. If recent sermons have been a little short on application, we will make up for that today.
Sin and the curse changed things for the first couple. But things might not be as bad as they seem. Adam and Eve were removed from the Garden of Eden but no one is so far removed that God cannot see, hear, and be heard. Here are three examples from the Old Testament from which we can draw application.
