Look Heavenward, Obey Here & Now
Pastor Zack delves into Hebrews 11:8-12, exploring the faith of Abraham and Sarah. Through their story, Pastor Zack illuminates the essence of true faith — obedience without sight, and trust in God's promises despite the odds. He contrasts Abraham's steadfast faith and actions with the choices of Lot, drawing stark comparisons between their spiritual journeys and outcomes. Through Abraham's example, Pastor Zack emphasizes the importance of worship, humility, and the pursuit of God's promises over earthly desires. He also explores the significance of Abraham's interactions with Melchizedek and the King of Sodom, highlighting the purity of worship and the rejection of worldly compromise.
Expanding beyond the narrative of Abraham and Sarah, Pastor Zack connects their story to New Testament teachings, drawing parallels between circumcision and regeneration, faith, and the ultimate defeat of death through Christ's reign. He challenges the congregation to internal warfare against sin, urging believers to capture every thought in obedience to Christ. This sermon is a call to emulate the faith of Abraham in our pursuit of the heavenly city designed by God, encouraging listeners to live a life of faith, marked by repentance, worship, and an unwavering focus on God's promises. Join us in exploring the depths of faith exemplified by Abraham and Sarah, and be inspired to walk in their footsteps towards the promises of God.
