Genesis: Lessons from Sarah and Abraham

Genesis: Lessons from Sarah and Abraham
This message is brought to you by Pastor Darryl Morrison
Main Scripture: Genesis 12:10-20, Genesis 16:16, Genesis 20:1-5, Ephesians 5:25
Thrust:
Relationships will face difficulties.
Our relationships can thrive.
We lean on God to guide us through.
Points:
1. Trust God (Genesis 12:10-20)
In any relationship there must be an awareness of the circumstances and events that elicit fear and distrust in God.
When there’s lack in your life or when fear arises how does trust in God demonstrate itself? (famine and fear)
Ephesians 5:25
2. Be Careful When Making Agreements Based Upon Assumptions (Genesis 16:1-6)
A common mistake when there’s agreement based upon assumption is blaming others when things go wrong.
Another common mistake in relationships is not knowing when to say “Yes” and when to say “No.”
Heading/agreeing to the voice of man without remembering the Word of God.
3. Be Careful Not To Repeat The Cycle (Genesis 20:1-5)
