Sermon notes
Bible Text: Genesis 20:7-18 | Preacher: Pastor Gifford Dennison | Series: Genesis | 1. Refrain from judging the Reality of someone's salvation based on their inconsistent performance.
2. The Reach of sin.
a) Sin has Ramifications on me.
b) On my Relatives.
c) On my Recruits.
d) On those I am Responsible for.
e) And even on those children I am yet to Rear up.
3. The Rebuke of the Man of God.
4. Abraham's Reluctance to Relate the truth was based on his failure to Rely on God.
a) Lies Rest on a foundation of fear and wrong priorities.
b) Abraham stopped asking what is Right to do, and what does God Require of me, and settled for what can I do that is Risk free?
c) When the circumstances are Ripe, even a Respected man of God can fall.
5. Despite Abraham's failure, God did not Reject him.
a) Abimelech could only find a Remedy to his predicament through the man of God's Request for a Reprieve.
b) For our Reconciliation with God, Redemption's price must be paid.
c) The Result is that God Revitalises Abimelech, and Reverses what would have Reduced His Realm to nothing, Removing it from the earth.
