Finishing with Faith

Cary Cox, from Genesis 47:28-31 and Ch48. On his deathbed, Jacob demonstrates faith that perseveres to the end! He talks to his family about God and prepares the next generation to continue in the faith after his death. Here is spiritual leadership. Here is our call to family worship. Here is putting the Lord as the first priority of our household. May we finish with faith!

God Revives His People

Cary Cox, from Genesis 35:1-15. In spite of Jacob’s fears and failures, God revives him through his word! Jacob shows us in this passage what spiritual leadership looks like. He proclaims God’s word to his household and leads them in repentance and preparation for worship!

God Judges and God Saves

Cary Cox, from Genesis 19. God absolutely destroys Sodom and Gomorrah for their great sins, but he rescues Lot in his great mercy. We are shocked into understanding just how wicked sin is in the sight of God. We see Lot’s failure to lead his family spiritually, or to exercise wisdom and spiritual discernment. God’s people are warned against loving this world, and reminded that judgment is coming. Our salvation and our treasure are in Christ!
