Would you like to learn more about faith? You've come to the right person. No, not me, Abraham. This is a daily devotional podcast supporting a teaching series for the Watford church of Christ and the Thames Valley churches of Christ called "Adventures in faith with Abraham". It is also part of my quiet time coaching series. What is it about Abraham which is so admirable? Many things. But perhaps above all else his adventurous faith, “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” (Hebrews 11:8 NIV11) Join me as we step out on a faith adventure with Abraham. Episode 23 Today we start chapter 16 ““Now Sarai, Abram's wife had borne him no children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar. So Sarai said to Abram, “Now behold, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. After Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram's wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. He went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her sight.” (Genesis 16:1–4 NAS95) What are we seeing here? The consequences of impatience. How does this play out? First of all, let's set the scene. Abram is more in the background in chapter 16. The women take centre stage. The implication is that Abram is willing to wait, whilst Sarai is not. However, Abram agrees with his wife's plan. A plan which reminds us of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3. The same Hebrew word for 'listened', 'shamar', is used in Genesis 3:17 and here. Things did not turn out well then, and they do not turn out well now. Surrogate motherhood for rich women was not unusual in the culture of the day. However, the outcome makes it clear that God's people should not take their cues from the norms of society. Devotional thought for today We will tackle the theme of impatience in another podcast, but, for today, let's talk about cultural assimilation. However distasteful we might think of it today, Sarai's solution would have made perfect sense to her friends and extended family. Surrogate motherhood and polygamy were, if not the norm, certainly not unusual. Paul wrote about the temptation to fit in: “Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:1–2 NAS95) Is there any place in your life where you're tempted to compromise? Is there any current challenge where you are tempted to cut corners to get what you feel you deserve or need? Sarah uses Hagar to get what she wants. Hagar gets more than a pregnancy. She also gets an attitude. This will not end well. Prayer point for today Ask God to give you sufficient insight to notice when you're been conformed to the world, and sufficient courage to resist its gravitational pull If you have any questions or feedback please contact me: malcolm@malcolmcox.org. The apostle Paul said of Abraham, “He is the father of us all.” (Romans 4:16 NIV11) Let's allow him to be the father of Faith to you and me in January and February 2021. Many thanks for listening today. See you tomorrow as we continue our adventure of faith with Abraham. Take care and God bless, Malcolm

After Abram steps out in faith, he is quickly tested. Although this man would become a champion of faith, his early failures show us some important results of doubting God. The post Reset – Test 1 appeared first on Christian Fellowship MC.

After Abram and Lot separate and dwell in different parts of the land, we get to this story of two groups of warring kings. It almost sounds like a footnote in the Bible until Lot gets pulled into the action and is taken captive. This sets Abram and his small forces to action to rescue Lot. But how do we make sense of it all? Is it just luck, shrewd battle strategy or is something else going on in this passage? The key, as we’ve seen before with Abram, is in his ability to trust the King of King’s promises and receive blessing despite the circumstances around him. We’ll also see this mystery man named Melchizedek and his role related to Abram and blessing.

Genesis 14:17-20 New International Version 17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, 19 and he blessed Abram, saying,“Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.20 And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.”Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

A WAR fought near the Dead Sea nearly 4,000 years ago is the focus of this week’s study. After Abram arrived in Canaan and settled near Hebron, his nephew Lot was captured by an army from Mesopotamia that had come to put down a rebellion by the king of Sodom and his allies. We discuss the meanings of the names of the rebel kings, the possible identities of the kings of the east, and the significance of the Rephaim tribes defeated by the kings of Mesopotamia. We also discuss Melchizedek (malki-tsedeq, "my king is righteous" or "king of righteousness"), the king of Salem, who greeted Abram upon his return from rescuing Lot and the other captives from Sodom. Was he the incarnate Christ, as some believe? We think not, but it’s a question that’s still debated after 2,000 years, and we note the link between Jesus and Melchizedek in Hebrews chapter 7.
 The historical details provided by the Bible are consistent with the political situation in Mesopotamia in the early years of the reign of Hammurabi of Babylon, who may be the Amraphel of Shinar mentioned in Genesis 14. About 30 years into his reign, Hammurabi went to war with Elam, driving that kingdom out of the plains of Sumer, and then turned on his southern neighbor, Larsa (Ellasar), for not supporting Babylon in its war against their Elamite overlords. So, the events of Genesis 14 took place after Hammurabi ascended to the throne of Babylon but before his war with Elam. Chronologies of Mesopotamia variously date Hammurabi’s reign to 1848-1806 BC (High Chronology), 1792-1750 BC (Middle Chronology), or 1728-1686 BC (Low Chronology). The High Chronology fits best with the timeline of the Bible, which places Abram in Canaan by 1876 BC Note that since we studied this chapter in January of 2015, we’ve changed our minds about some things. Specifically: * Amraphel of Shinar may have been Hammurabi of Babylon * Ellasar most likely refers to the city-state of Larsa, a rival of Babylon that was conquered by Hammurabi around 1763 BC * Tidal of Goiim was probably a leader of the Gutians, a barbaric people from the mountains of northwest Iran * Sodom and the cities of the plain were not located southeast of the Dead Sea, but northeast, within sight of Jericho and Mount Nebo, at an archaeological site called Tall el-Hammam. To find out more about the evidence for identifying Tall el-Hammam in Jordan as ancient Sodom, log on to www.DigSodom.com, and listen to Derek’s interview with Dr. Phillip Silvia, part of the archaeological team excavating at Tall el-Hammam.

The spiritual applications of the story of Abram and Lot, his nephew, are many. After Abram's misstep in Egypt, he returns to a place of worship in Canaan. But quarreling breaks out between the people of Abram and Lot. Now we see the contrast between Abram and Lot--one in humility and peace and trust in God gives way to the one who out of pride and selfishness chooses to move close to the cities God has declared to be wicked. Do you find your character more in line with Abram or Lot.

Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 50 of The Berean Manifesto brought to you by The Ekklesian House.  This is Pastor Bill and over the next 10 minutes or so we are going to wrap up our series looking at Jesus in the Old Testament.  In the last installment we looked at Paul talking about Christ being the spiritual rock that the Israelites drank from when they were in the desert after leaving Egypt and unpacked the story of Moses striking the rock to bring forth water by including a story about Miriam's well; the rock that Moses struck following the Israelites through the desert to provide water every time they camped.  In part one we looked at Jesus claim in John 8:56 that Abraham had seen his day and rejoiced at it tracking that back to Genesis 22 when Jesus shows up to stop Abraham from sacrificing Isaac.   This episode brings us around again to that instance where in verse 17 of Genesis 22 “The Angel of the Lord,” who is Jesus says, “I will indeed bless you and make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore.”  In Hebrews 6:13-14 the author accredits this statement as belonging to God, it says, “13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself: 14 I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you.”  More importantly though the author of Hebrews is trying to make a different point here by calling on the relationship between Abraham and Jesus/God, and this is where we find ourselves for this episode.  Continuing in Hebrews 6:15-20 we read, “15 And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and for them a confirming oath ends every dispute. 17 Because God wanted to show his unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. 20 Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, because he has become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”   By Melchizedek he is here referring to Genesis 14:17-20, “17 After Abram returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him in the Shaveh Valley (that is, the King's Valley). 18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine; he was a priest to God Most High. 19 He blessed him and said: Abram is blessed by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, 20 and blessed be God Most High who has handed over your enemies to you. And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.”   Now, I wanted to read that interaction between Abram and Melchizedek before I finished what Hebrews had to say about it because Hebrews 7 lays it out clearly, and a whole lot more that I didn't want to break up and interrupt.   Hebrews 7:1-28, “7 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, met Abraham and blessed him as he returned from defeating the kings, 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means king of righteousness, then also, king of Salem, meaning king of peace. 3 Without father, mother, or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.  4 Now consider how great this man was: even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the plunder to him. 5 The sons of Levi who receive the priestly office have a command according to the law to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers and sisters—though they have also descended from Abraham. 6 But one without this lineage collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises. 7 Without a doubt, the inferior is blessed by the superior. 8 In the one case, men who will die receive a tenth, but in the other case, Scripture testifies that he lives. 9 And in a sense Levi himself, who receives a tenth, has paid a tenth through Abraham, 10 for he was still within his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.  11 Now if perfection came through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to appear, said to be according to the order of Melchizedek and not according to the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must be a change of law as well. 13 For the one these things are spoken about belonged to a different tribe. No one from it has served at the altar. 14 Now it is evident that our Lord came from Judah, and Moses said nothing about that tribe concerning priests.  15 And this becomes clearer if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16 who did not become a priest based on a legal regulation about physical descent but based on the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it has been testified: You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. 18 So the previous command is annulled because it was weak and unprofitable 19 (for the law perfected nothing), but a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.  20 None of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath, 21 but he became a priest with an oath made by the one who said to him: The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever.” 22 Because of this oath, Jesus has also become the guarantee of a better covenant.  23 Now many have become Levitical priests, since they are prevented by death from remaining in office. 24 But because he remains forever, he holds his priesthood permanently. 25 Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to intercede for them.  26 For this is the kind of high priest we need: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He doesn't need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do—first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all time when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the promise of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son, who has been perfected forever.”   With a new priest comes a new law, the old annulled because it was weak and unprofitable.  Our high priest is able to save completely those who come to God through him, since He lives to intercede for them.  He offered a sacrifice for sin once for all time when He offered himself. The Gospel doesn't get much sweeter than Hebrews 7.   This is Pastor Bill saying, “Until next time…”

After Abram experienced the dizzying heights of the events on Genesis 15, he came crashing back to earth and reality in Genesis 16:1-16. Though God had promised Abram a great nation of descendants, he and his wife Sarai (at her instigation) concocted a plan for Abram to father a child through Sarai’s slave girl Hagar. […]

A daily devotional exploring the names of God in scripture. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com. Thanks for joining me today for "A Little Walk with God." I'm your host Richard Agee. El-Elyon, the Lord most high, nothing compares to Him. Let's hear more about His name. Scripture Genesis 14:17-20; Isaiah 14:13-14 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley). Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything. You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” Devotional El-Elyon, the Most High God Elyon, up, high el-Elyon, could be translated, the extremely exalted, sovereign, high, God If there were any other gods, our God would be high above all others, none other would come close El-Elyon, the God so high none other can compare In an age of polytheism Abram recognized and worshiped only El-Elyon Melchizedek, king of Salem, served as a priest and he too recognized only one God, El-Elyon, God Most High They both understood nothing could compare to Creator of all things El-Elyon is the only One worthy of worship The world tries to convince us otherwise From the first deception in the garden of eden Success Fame Wealth Pleasures of life None can take the place of El-Elyon Today remember we worship El-Elyon, God Most High, the Extremely Exalted, Sovereign, Most High God. Nothing compares to Him If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don't, tell me. I hope you'll join me again tomorrow for "A Little Walk with God." /p>

After Abram and his nephew Lot split, a war takes place between some of the kings of the land and Lot is taking in the process. Open your Bible and let's see how this ends for Lot.

After Abram returns from the battle of the kings, God appears to him in a vision and reaffirms His promise of a seed and many descendants. Abram believes God and his faith (belief in God's promise) is counted as righteousness. This statement becomes the cornerstone of salvation. That is, salvation by faith alone.
