Sermons on Atonement
God is sovereign! He was sovereign in Moses’ birth. He was sovereign in Moses’ call. And He was sovereign in His dealings with the Egyptians. He will be sovereign in the situations we face in our lives as well. God is calling us to do great things for Him. The first step toward following God’s call on your life is identifying yourself with God. Step two is to listen to all the Lord speaks to you through His Word, through wise counsel and through the guidance of His Spirit. Step three is trusting in God’s power and presence in the life and ministry to which you have been called.
As we continue our journey through God’s One Big Story of Scripture, we come to a story that for some people is impossible to understand what God was thinking. Our focus will be the story of Abraham and his son, Isaac, and the promises that God made to them. In Genesis 15:6, the Bible says that “Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness.” There is no doubt that the Bible teaches salvation as a free gift of God received from Him by faith alone—not by deeds we have done. This is a story about Abraham’s faith for sure, but it is even more so a story about the faithfulness of God.
